My friend John here sent me (11) of his home-rolled cigars to try out...here are my impressions of this diamond in the rough!

VITOLA:
Blend #7H

Wrapper is HABANA2000...BINDER is Ecuadorian Sumatra...FILLER is half Dominican Secco...half Nicaraguan Ligero.

APPEARANCE:
This was a 5'x 52 Robusto that had a beautiful Golden Brown wrapper,with slight oils and a nice sheen.Minimum veining!

COSTRUCTION:
It looked like a factory hand rolled...outside of a "rustic" cap..which didn't bother me any!Nice firm bunch...SOLID!!

TASTE:
The taste of this cigar was that of good aged tobbacco!Very straightforward tobbacco flavor with a touch of spice and just a hint of some sweet flavors..the aroma was heavenly!

BURN:
This thing was constructed PERFECT...NO SHIT!!!It held an ash for over 1.5 inches...I was impressed!No touch-ups,no tunneling...PERFECT BURN and Draw!!!

SUMMARRY:
John didn't give himself enough credit when he told me about these!They were perfectly rolled..with a nice tobbacco flavor that was thoroughly enjoyable IMO!!

You did good Brother...

Thanks John for letting me try them!!
I will post for his other cigars when smoked!
