Cigar Glue:   The cigar glue comes in a powder form.   Use one teaspoon of
glue per 4 ounces of water. Stir and let it rest for 30 minutes.  Stir again
and the glue is ready.  You can add more water as the glue start to dry out.
I recommend to use a 4 oz glass jar with a cover and place in your
refrigerator when not in use.  Your 4 oz glass jar if use properly can last
for over 1000 cigars.

Cigar Beetles:  Cigar beetles larvae is a normal and  common pest in cigar
making.  The tobacco leaves either carry them or the beettles in your home
find the way in there.  Tobacco beetles are very small and brown in color
they are a normal pest in the US growing everywhere you go.  They grow in
grains such as wheat,  corn, milo and other crops.  For some unknown reason
they love tobacco as  well as the grains (maybe they like to chew tobacco).
When you observe beetles or you see small holes bored in the leaves or
cigars, I recommend to freeze all your leaves or cigars for at least 4 days.
That will keep them in check. Most cigar companies freeze their ready made
cigars for 4 days before distribution.

Cigar Tapes:  The basic cigar tape is about 45 minutes long containing basic
information for home cigar making.  Good beginners tape.  The advanced tape
is about 1 hour long.  This one has information on how to make torpedoes,
different bunching techniques, how to blend and ferment tobacco leaves and
how to get ready for cigar shows.  At the end of this tape there are 20
minutes on how Frank Ruiz destroy the 2001 and 2002 Cuban records for the
World Longest Cigar ever made.  The 2001 Cuban record was 36 feet plus, the
2002 was 45 feet plus.  Franks current record is 58 feet 4 inches.   The
Cubans are trying to catch up with the master. ;-).  Frank gives very
graphic and specific information on how you can brake the Guiness World
record. These is a very valuable and entertaining tape a most buy for any
serious cigar roller or a beginner who wants to make his or her mark in the
industry.
