Growin' & Rollin' Your Own

Ok, so, there I was... confronting yet another spike in cost of Camel Cigarettes.
I wanted to punch someone's runnin' lights out. $ 7 per pack—?
I said, this IS.... WAR!

Went to the tobacco shop to inquire about rollin' my own.
the clerk spoke of the art of rolling and showed me some machines.
one was about $ 60.00 adds the filter and it's a done deal.

I bought a pouch of Natural American Spirit 100% additive free tobacco - no preservatives
no insecticides and no... what was that other crap? oh yes, flirtalizers.

I am here to tell you that after the disasterous first hand roll,
I devised me my own cigarette roller for absolutely no cost.
A little work, yes.
The paper is about as perfect as a regular cig and the same size and the
tobacco is packed tight.
SWEET!

All you need is a straw and a ramming stick.
1. pack straw with tobacco
2. Wrap paper around the straw, lick and seal the paper
3. Slide paper to one end of the straw then ram the tobacco into the paper by
allowing the paper to slide off the end of the straw.

Light 'em up.
IF you wish to protect your lungs a slight, use a cigarette filter bit.

I've already rolled my third cigarette.

SWEEET!!!!
Annnnnnnnnd the smoke last much longer. 🙂

Now.... once I get the julios out of my system, I may experiment with several tobaccos
make my own blend as I do with my pipes.

Ok MrFirebird.

as long as you burn your own lungs. I am fine with it. Enjoy the cigarette.

I don't know why do you love it. That's stinky in my mouth.

I am part Native American Indian and part Eurpean descent.
Scorpio Sun Pisces Moon, with Eagle, Wolf, Hawk and Crow Medicine.
Not that any of that matters.

I have smoked Camels for 25+ years. Drove a truck for a living and
that's where I picked it up. I started smoking when I was 16 and my very
first cigarette was back in 1977.

Tastewise, it doesn't bother me.
about 4-6 years ago, Camel decided to change it's packaging. The taste also
changed. Today's doesn't taste as strong as it once did.

If you go back to the top, you'll read about how I am doin' it at the present.


Just go buy a coke and save the straw and try it. You'll roll perfect cigs
for the price of a coke straw and some 1/8" metal rod or long philip's screw driver.

Just rolled my first pack (20) of cigs.
Developed an assembly line technique using multiple straws
and 2 stages - takes about 3 hours for 20 cigarettes.

^smoked the same lol. got homegrown now from some people my SO knows, but if we run out of it we buy Paramount or Virginia (gold usually). and I use red or blue papers

I will respond when I wake up. I am asleep at this point in time.

Please Do Not Disturb
Sleep is still in progress.

bump!
