Note, that this is not one and only way to build a CBG. I tried to make it simple way. I put a lot of work into this textbook. I did not use the Copy / Paste method because I do not steal. All photos and drawings are mine, except for the cigar label designs, Henri Vidal’s “Caïn” sculpture and the internet meme. If you find typos, spelling or anything, please accept my apologies. The manual is free and can be shared. I only reserve the recognition of authorship and I do not agree to commercial dissemination or distribution requiring registration on other sites). Have fun!
