Roll-your-own
 

Recently I decided to try rolling my own cigarettes. I got one of those little rolling machines, papers, filter plugs and a pound of tobacco. Not bad. Then the other day I bought a pack of my regular brand. I figured they might make me sentimental for them, but not the case -- instead I actually got dizzy and nauseous smoking them!

My best guess is that the additives in the tobacco from a pack of cigs (and in the paper) were making me sick because I had lost my immunity toward them. Now, I don't like Marlboros anymore. If it isn't something I rolled, I don't want to smoke it.

Rookie :1orglaugh

Not really.

I confess...got the machine too lol

Yeah, what's the problem with the little machine? They roll faster and come out better. Plus, you put a filter in one end which is something that's hard to do if you roll it by hand.

He's rolling cigs, no joints and to be honest, I roll my joint in a rolling machine too if I have it with me. The come out tighter, fatter, and they do not canoe :Graucho

i always wanted to roll my own smokes. it's a much cheaper route.

True. Pound of tobacco lasts me two weeks.

Stains your fingers WORSE and believe it or not, makes you stink a little worse too :2 cents:

I think using a rolling machine is ok but only if you know how to roll proper first

Not if you use a filter plug in the roll. Then it holds and smokes just like a packaged cig.

No.. No no no.. I don't care what you're rolling.. a joint or a cigarette.. If you use a rolling machine you're a n00b

Yep, it just ain't right.

I, too, switched from store-boughts to making my own, when I still lived in the US. Can't do it down here. I always bought the American Spirit Natural tobacco and the ZZ filter tubes. The little "slider" machine was a handy little tool, for all sorts of "things." LOL

It was great to get away from the chemical additives. Just wish I could buy the "pieces" down here. No, not allowed to "import." SHIT!

It's also the cheaper way to go for a smoker and, truthfully, natural tobacco without additives tastes a hellova lot better, too!

for once I gotta agree with you :thumbsup
