I looked at both rolling machines and packing machines online while trying to figure out how to do it by hand. They’re not expensive and I may have to give them further consideration.
Still, there’s a “coolness” factor with doing it well by hand. It’s kind of like doing chip tricks at a poker table – it’s of no productive value, but it’s cool.
I searched for “Tobacco seeds” on the internet a while back and was suprised that they’re actually available. I always just assumed that tobacco seeds were so tightly regulated by our awesome and caring government that they weren’t available.
I’m trying to quit, but I might grow some just for barter when society falls apart.
Anyhow, if you want to go even cheaper, that’s a route.
Smoking won’t send you to hell but you’ll smell like you got close. On the other hand, since I quit when I was 17, there are days when I’ll catch a whiff of smoke and have a wild craving.
it took me almost seven years to learn how to roll the perfect cig. Zig-zag makes a nice little rolling machine that is easy to use and may cost you about seven bucks. maybe not even that much. don’t use ‘em myself.
I can see the appeal of the female putting a cigar in her mouth. But actually smoking it? Ugh… Do you want a woman who smells like that? Smells like somethin’ died in Mexico and got sent to the U.S. without refrigeration…
I quit smoking a month ago. But, I’ve always loved a good cigar. Nothing wrong with that.
I’ve rolled my own off and on for about 22 years, only not with tobacco, you understand? (I quite that a while back, so nobody yell at me) Same principal, just gotta keep those thumbs in.
Elena, it’s not a phallic effect about it that turns me on. It’s more a non-conformist vibe. Smoke rings coming from beautiful red lips is very sexy, too. And a good cigar is better than a good perfume. It certainly does not leave a foul odor. Now, cheap cigars… that’s different. I get nauseous if I get within 5 feet of one, even if it’s unlit.
Billy, you’ll get no condemnation from me whether you quit or not. I don’t smoke wacky tobaccy but only because I don’t care for it. I have a number of friends and neighbors that do and I have no problem with it.
Well, I may imbibe on occasion in the future, I’ll not swear I won’t. No cigarettes though. One to two packs a day for 21 years.
Smoke rings from ruby red lips…
All I can picture now is a woman, feet up on a desk, cowgirl boots and hat, mini-skirt just covering the naughty bits, leaning back in a leather chair, puffing away…
I gotta hit a smoke shop on the way home.
lol, I also was the same with regards to cigars (I’m not a smoker). The good ones were expensive and somehow spending $5-$10 on a good one started to grate on my nerve. I might as well just get smoking tobacco and roll it up in a $10 bill.
A close friend of mine ‘rolls her own’. She’s not good at doing it by hand, but I noticed that she had bought some little gadget that does it for her.

Smoking may not be evil, but it is disgusting.

All things in moderation, brother.

I saw this joke pic this morning and immediately thought of your post on rolling your own.

That’s awesome, Morris! First good chuckle I’ve had tonight.
