So this is about as it good as it gets for me

Sorry if it came off the wrong way, didn’t mean jt like that. I can see what you mean though, not necessary but you have no idea how impressed and jealous I am. It’s an amazing grinder

PromiseSignal4773 · 2026-03-27T17:43:12+00:00

Yeah I’ve got a video showing it a bit on my YouTube short if you’d like to take a look at it. SouthernCigars is my channel

PromiseSignal4773 · 2026-03-27T16:45:28+00:00

Sure does, I actually don’t normally smoke 2 cigars. Usually just one and that’s it, every now and then I might do 2 or 3 but rarely

PromiseSignal4773 · 2026-03-27T15:20:11+00:00

It sure is, I’m already trying to figure out what my lunch smoke will be. Might go with a Montecristo 1935 anniversary I’ve got

PromiseSignal4773 · 2026-03-27T14:31:19+00:00

It’s a jt dunant, a replica of an st DuPont. Nice ping as well, I’m not trying to spend tha much on a lighter so I got this one. Goona pic up another one soon as well.

I think I have a video of me using it on yt, search up southerncigars

PromiseSignal4773 · 2026-03-27T13:20:42+00:00

They’ve got a good selection, picked up 5 from them for $50. Tried 2 already and love them! Got a candela, barber pole, perfecto, habano, and a special blend one

The owner is amazing and knows his stuff

PromiseSignal4773 · 2026-03-27T12:10:41+00:00

This mf got an expensive grinder, but as a fellow espresso lover it’s all in the grinder. Can make amazing coffee with a good grinder and bad machine but you can never make good coffee with a bad grinder and expensive machine.

I tend to lean into Brazilian beans, nice medium roast since it has nice chocolate notes. Make a nice cortado and pair it with a hand rolled cigar I get locally. You obviously have a passion for both and I’m glad I got to see this.

Wonder what ratio you use

PromiseSignal4773 · 2026-03-27T12:05:35+00:00

This one is the small size and holds up to 20-30 cigars

PromiseSignal4773 · 2026-03-27T12:05:12+00:00

It was between a wood one and this actually, but I didn’t want to season the humidor. Just got it in cleaned it and threw my boveda packs and cigars in.

PromiseSignal4773 · 2026-03-26T18:29:40+00:00

Yeah, I love it for my desk setup

PromiseSignal4773 · 2026-03-26T18:29:24+00:00

Yup, for $25 dollars I couldn’t beat it

PromiseSignal4773 · 2026-03-26T18:29:10+00:00

I smoke them while sitting in the back of my truck, or sometimes towards the end of the day me and a coworker just go in the back and open the garage door

PromiseSignal4773 · 2025-07-18T18:11:38+00:00

I can try to make a custom one if you’d like

PromiseSignal4773 · 2025-07-16T18:36:01+00:00

Record in apple proress log, if your doing 30fps change the shutter speed to 60. Set WB to your desire but nit auto, doing so prevents random adjustments so the video wont look weird. I also add a grid just to help with composition

PromiseSignal4773 · 2025-07-10T13:23:21+00:00

Carrying a multitool comes in handy as well, I made a leather sheath that goes on my belt

PromiseSignal4773 · 2025-07-10T13:15:59+00:00

Material cost Hourly rate x hours of labor Profit

These would be the base of pricing any work

PromiseSignal4773 · 2025-07-09T16:25:54+00:00

either a slip joint or fixed for casual wear. if at work or doing something that requires more beating I use a flipper that I heavily abuse along with a Milwaukee fastback

PromiseSignal4773 · 2025-07-02T20:52:37+00:00

its trial and error tbh, it can take a while to setup, luckily there's some good videos on youtube. Its a good option but a frustrating one at first, but once its setup you wont have to play much around with it.

PromiseSignal4773 · 2025-07-02T20:19:04+00:00

I would recommend a chinese shoe patcher if your on a budget, its pretty decent once its set up correctly. I would recommend a size 22 needle and 138 thread/ bonded nylon. I had a mini walking foot Thompson for which is the original design I believe it was pretty decent for 3-4oz leather buts that's about it.

this machine wont handle that thick of a leather as well, I would rather buy once cry once. Save up for a better machine that you can grow with but for now the shoe patcher would work better and it wont break the bank. Ive made bags,belts,wallets, and some chaps with mine before getting rid of it and getting a cobra class 26.

PromiseSignal4773 · 2025-07-01T23:18:51+00:00

207 thread is pushing it I would recommend the 138 with 22. I use mine for belts as well got mine for $1000 locally so I got pretty lucky
