Now we take out the wrapper that we trimmed, and we're going to apply. I get a lot of questions

about as far as what this is. A lot of people call it glue, but actually what it is, it's

called vegetable gum. It's a starch from a plant which actually, when you add the water,

it turns into like -- almost like a pasty-like substance. Now, when you get the stuff, it

comes in a powder form. You reconstitute that with water and that will actually do quite

a bit of cigars. You take the bunch, the finished bunch, and you start doing a wrap. Just a

tiny bit so it doesn't, so the foot doesn't fall off on you and you start to wrap. You

just stretch out the vein and pull it 'til it gets smooth and roll it in. Repeat the

process. A lot of feel involved in this process of wrapping because you can very easily tear

a leaf if you pull too tight or leave it all bunched and kind of misshapen if it's too

loose. You kind of got to do this a little quickly 'cause the leaf will dry out. Just

a little bit of your glue, you put it on the head of the cigar, seal it up, and then you

just trim it just a little bit. Get a good amount of glue on your fingers there, guide

it around and make the cap. This is probably the most important part of the cigar 'cause

if this doesn't hold, the cigar unravels. Shove it down in there, so you get a nice

smooth head. Take a piece from the inside; make sure you got the inside up. Put a little

vegetable gum on there, take your head cap tool, take out the small cap, apply it to

the head of the cigar, and you smooth it down around the edge. When you're doing this, you're

actually pulling the leaf tight so it looks a little smoother. Then take it over to your

tuck cutter, and this will cut your final size -- a nice flush foot -- and you don't

have any ridges or anything like that and you got your final cigar. Now as the wrapper

dries, it smoothes out and becomes more uniform in color.
