Hey everyone,
I'm looking for a rolling machine to roll my own cigarettes. I know i know...cigarettes are bad for you..hehe
As it turns out, a lot of guys from the U of I club roll their own cigarettes after we smoke at our smoke nights, so i thought i'd give it a shot. I picked up some tobacco and paper, but hand rolling them is just a pain. If anyone has an extra laying around let me know (i dont care if it's old). I'll trade ya some cigars for it 🙂

George,
I know Zig-Zag sells and cheap roller.
The reason I knowthis is because I had worked a gas station part time!

Hey George,
It only takes a little practice to learn to roll your own, and it doesn't matter what your rolling, heheheee!

You can always practice, and if you get a bad roll, then un-roll it and go again. Yes you will waste papers, but then you don't need to carry a roller in your pocket.

I thought all you college boys knew how to roll your own. All it takes is practice.

Start out with a dollar bill and use a table top or so I heard.

i picked up a little $2 roller at my tobacconists, and it works great. i can drop in a filter and everything. takes about 2 minutes to roll a cigarette with it.

the other kind you can use (and they're faster i've heard) is one where you put tobacco in it and insert an empty filtered cigar tube (about $4 for a carton of these), push a handle, and the machine injects the tobacco into the tube. these are more expensive but can still be found for under $10. they produce a much cleaner, sharper 'rette.

if you need help with tobacco selection, let me know. i'm partial to danish shag; it's a very light blend and very flavorful. i'd steer clear of canned stuff like Tops and Bugler; it just tastes stale to me.

good luck, and happy smokin'!

Now Seth just cracked me up. Seriously, they allow you guys to graduate from that college without learning that valuable trade skill? For shame.
