Frank, try using Southern Steel (mellow), it's a tad larger than regular cut cigarette tobacco - but no need to cut......

I don't see the point. You can order cigarettes online for pretty cheap, and you don't have to roll them. Unless that's your hobby, then that's different. I've never tried a hand made, but I doubt it's as good as regular.

You would be incorrect, unless of course you like all the chemicals and preservatives in retail smokes.

They're not as cheap when your state's revenue department subpoenas their sales records and sends you an excise and use tax bill.

......and this one usually flies right over their oblivious mail-ordering head, until they get the letter telling them to pay. Whaaaaat? I didn't do nothing wrong.

From what I knew of a guy that worked in a hot house tomato farm years ago, they had to keep tobacco cigs, chew, pipe away from tomato plants, for there was something in tobacco that killed off tomato plants...a mold or something...

I used to smoke Golden Grain.
It cost six cents a sack and came with free rolling papers.
It was like Bull Durham but cheaper.

When I got a little richer I switched to Bugler and Tops.
They both came in a round tin like a paint can, and you got free papers.

I tried one of those rolling machines, but didn't care for it.
I preferred to carry the makings and roll my smoke on demand.

When the 60's came around, I was considered a "Rolling Elder" because of my years of rolling my own cigarettes.
People had some really weird ways of rolling joints and were always asking me to teach them how to roll a good one.
And of course I always did.

Interesting topic that has died (almost) and I brung it back. Although kicking the habit for a number of years now, I was intrigued with this topic. Factory cigs were the hook and it took pneumonia to stop. I have no desire anymore but these pure tobacco enthusiasts vs. mfg sure make it tempting just to get a good smoke ...

Anyway, an article in the paper this morning reminded me of this thread.
