Any handrolled cigarette smokers?

I smoke AMERICAN SPIRIT. A can 5.29 oz can costs 38 bucks or so ( used to be 18 and change until Barry decided smokers of loose tobacco needed to catch up with the rest of the overtaxed nicotine addicts).

It also has 200 papers included. The papers are 78MM and I buy a ZIG-ZAG roller so they don't look like joints when I'm riding around in my work truck and enjoying a smoke. A can lasts me close to a month. If I buy a pack, it's gone before a cat can lick it's rear end. I usually buy the dark blue can. The dark blue has a bit better flavor to me than the light blue one.

They advertise their tobacco as being 100% additive free. Their papers are top notch and have a glue strip. Supposedly made without bleach. When I'm at the house, I usually roll one and smoke about half of it and let it go out (which it will do shortly after you put it down) and go back and finish it three or four hours later.

I roll up a smoke of Bugler every now and again just to keep my handrolling skills intact. Still pretty good after all these years. I usually won't use their papers though. Too thick. I prefer Zig-Zag Orange.

I do the same, I can roll a joint like Bob Marley himself although I don't smoke marijuana and never really have.

Hi.., Good reason for hand-rolling cigarettes we can mix and match different flavors of tobacco to fit our mood. These are cheaper than commercially available brands and we can make our own size every time. Cigarette manufacturers have a wide variety of ingredients which are included in them. But hand-rolling tobaccos do not have as many of these additional ingredients, and contain more by way of tobacco.

I and most that I know that smoke hand rolled cigarettes get supplies via Europe, In the hypermarkets out there in France or Belgium a 50g (2oz) pouch costs around 5.5 Euro's (£4.50) by the time it hits England and is sold on the streets 'under the counter' it's between £6 to £7.50, in our shops it is £14.00 which is mostly tax.

I used to smoke both of those brands back in the early 70's then went onto Rotterdam Shag until they stopped importing here (I bought the last 10 pouches in Australia) - now I smoke White Ox with 'papers' papers and a cigarette holder so I don't get the brown fingers.
I wish I could get Rotterdam Shag again 'cause it is such a nice, smooth smoke.

When I was in Chicago I roll my own...$10 a pack there. They have a nice tobacco shop on wells that has some no name tobacco in a glass jar that I like.

Just getting into it today when my tubes arive.am a heavy smoker,1.5 packs/day thats about $75/week:(
Figure I can cut that down to $18/week,just hope these electric rollers work as advertized.

I never used an electric rollers, but ive been using two different injectors a little plastic one made by Tops and a larger hand cranked all metal unit. I found that both work very well and living in NY state at 8 to 10 dollard a pack im saving a fortune each months. I use mostly Buoy or
golden harvest tobacco with golden harvest tubes once you get the feel to make your own it really easy and quick, it all about how much tobacco you put in to much and hard to drag to little the tobacco falls out of the tubes and crumples.
Please report back on the electric injectors?

Will keep you posted.

You can roll tobacco too! What will they think of next?(:-)
