| 15. After a small amount of pectin is applied to the inside of the wrapper leaf, Roberto carefully rolls the wrapper around the bunched filler leaves. |
 |
 |
| 16. Before the bunch is fully rolled, Roberto adds more pectin to the wrapper to ensure a secure fit and tight roll. |
|
 |
| 17. The wrapper is applied to the cigar, and the unnecessary portion of the flag (created at the head of the cigar) is cut away using the Chaveta, and then discarded. The remaining portion of the flag will be used to form the cap, but in this case Roberto produces a pig-tail. |

 |
| 18. Roberto then uses the side of his Chaveta to roll and press the cigar to further ensure an even and secure roll. |
|
 |
| 19. While holding the flag in one hand, Roberto uses his other hand to roll the cigar along his rolling board. This twists the flag together and closes the head of the cigar. |
|
 |
| 20. The flag is then curled together, and again using the Chaveta, is tucked under itself to shape a knot in the form of a pig-tail. |
|
 |
| 21. Lastly, Roberto pushes down on the pig-tail with his Chaveta to ensure that the head is secure. The cigar rolling process is now finished, and the cigar is ready for the band to be applied. |
