Roll a Filter Cigarette with a Machine

Save big bucks by rolling your own.

Steps

  1. Find a tobacco store that sells 1 lb. bags of cigarette tobacco. You'll find filtered paper tubes and rolling machines offered there.
  2. Buy a couple of waterproof containers. You can get some small free ones with band-aid boxes, and larger ones at department stores that contain playing cards.
  3. Set up a tray with your supplies. You'll be spending a half hour or so making cigarettes and then 5 minutes cleaning up and storing things away. You'll make 2 packs in about that time.
  4. Fill the open area with an amount level to the edge of the machine.
  5. Pack it down with the furnished tamper. Wipe away extra tobacco.
  6. Slide the tube-paper over the fill tube on the end.
  7. Close the machine.
  8. With both hands, slowly and firmly pull the slider to the right.
  9. Then slide back left.
  10. Tap the finished cigarette a couple of times and stick it, filter down, in your container.



Tips

  • Get a large bag clip to close the remainder. It's easier than trying to zip a zip-lock.
  • An old corncob pipe comes in handy for that small amount left over.
  • Rolling your own will make it a lot easier to stop smoking. The nicotine content is lower and the hassle of it all is tiresome, two things which will help you quit.

Warnings

  • Stopping smoking is the single biggest thing you can do to improve your health, but it's a difficult task. Smokers who are trying to kick their habit may be disappointed to find there's no single quit method that guarantees success. The weight of evidence suggests that smokers should set a date to stop, and do their best to quit completely from this point.
  • However it is much easier to quit if you smoke natural tobacco. There is no ammonia or sugar to deliver a "rush." There is a big difference in Big Cigarette tobacco and natural.
  • Tobacco use is unhealthy
