• (a) a plurality of smokable sheets being stacked together each sheet having
• first and second longitudinal edge portions along with first and second lateral edge portions, and
• first and second faces, and
• a plurality of openings adjacent the first longitudinal edge portion, and
• the first longitudinal edge portion having a first length, and
• the first lateral edge portions having a first length;
• (b) wherein the plurality of sheets are bound together by a plurality of connecting loops;
• (c) wherein the plurality of openings have bound and unbound states, wherein in the bound state the openings are unbroken and have a mean diameter opening and mean spacing between unbroken openings, and in the unbound state the openings are broken open with the mean spacing remaining constant but the first lateral edge portion having a second length, the second length being greater than the first length of the first lateral edge portion;
• and
• (d) wherein the bound plurality of sheets and plurality connecting loops are packaged for sale.

A method of making a custom made cigar comprising the steps of:

• (a) purchasing a booklet that includes a plurality of smokable sheets each having first and second longitudinal edge portions, first and second faces, and a plurality of openings adjacent the first longitudinal edge portion, wherein the plurality of sheets are bound together by a plurality of loops, each loop extending through at least one of the plurality of openings of each of the plurality of sheets, and wherein the booklet is packaged for sale;
• (b) removing one of the plurality of sheets from the state of being bound by the plurality of loops wherein the sheet is torn next to each of the plurality of the openings;
• (c) adding a selected smokable filler material to the first face of the removed sheet;
• (d) rolling the removed sheet together with the selected smokable filler such that the plurality of perforations in the open state extends over the second face of the removed sheet in a sealing area;
• (e) wetting at least one of the sealing area and plurality of perforations in the open state;
• and
• (f) placing pressure on the plurality of perforations in the open state so that the first longitudinal edge portion adheres to the second face of the removed sheet, and thereby forming a custom-tailored rolled smoking product.
