Thread: roll your own cigarettes

I recently bought a Supermatic cigarette roller and began rolling my own cigarettes. (bad habit I know) It's cheap and you can get some really nice tobacco. Does anyone else here do this? I can make a whole carton for 10 dollars.

when I was very young my brother taught me how to roll cigarettes without the machine, so that I could roll them for him, then I would get rewarded a few for my effort.

RYO's (roll your own) are like the poor mans smokes back home, its no longer "cool" to smoke anything other that tailor made. I have know idea why considering a pack of 25 is roughly 10USD a pack, that was more than a year ago too and the prices were increasing like every 3 months.

I liked Port Royal and Riverstone.

$10 is very cheap, you don't find yourself smoking more because they are shorter than a normal smoke? Tobacco 30g cost $15 USD and that would last a week if you stretch it out and use the crumbs.

Well, I quit close to 15 years ago now.... best thing I ever did! However, up to that point, it was always a pouch of tobacco and a pack of rolling papers... none of that machinery needed! Mind you, I'm used to the european style pouch tobacco, cut long for hand rolling... there was only one blend I could get locally, a dutch one that worked ok for me and I had used it regularly when I lived in Norway, but honestly.... give it up man! I'd rather spend the 10 bucks on a new soap or cream and actually have the sense of smell to enjoy it.

I loved my supramatic I could stuff a pack of filters in about ten minutes when I was really into it. I'd sit in front of the TV and roll them up a carton at a time. I could get a decent smoke for ten a carton smoking Gambler Light, or a really good smoke for less than twice that ordering from D&R Tobacco company. I still miss smoking, but like not smoking just as well. Handrolling is the only way to get either affordable cigarettes or tasty cigarettes.

I bought a pipe and 25g of a really nice blend of tobacco for it close to a week ago. It's nice to take out on the porch after a good meal or for a walk in the evening. Smells sweet.

As for cigarettes, I just buy packs normally. But I've rolled a few in the past. You've got me wanting to try rolling some of that tobacco I've got, actually. I realize pipe tobacco isn't as dry, but hey, it's still tobacco... and it smells better. I'm trying it right now! I will report back.

I started rolling my own a few months ago after visiting Kirsten pipes in Seattle. I have never liked regular cigarettes but smoke cigars and pipes. I found the quality of tobacco for rolling your own is far superior to commercial cigarettes and I don't need an hour take a smoke break.

At 10 dollars per pack, that's only 150 packs to get to 1500$, which would buy you this:

If you smoke 3 packs per week, that'd be 50 weeks.
Stop now, save the money and you can buy the razor in a year time.
