If you smoke - do you roll your own? (about $1/pack)
Been rolling my own for a month now, love it. I can roll a pack in about 5 min with the supermatic.

1lb light tobacco - 16.99
tubes (1 carton) - 2.99

1 lb makes 2.5 cartons

Just a friendly holiday tip :)

6. Just finished rolling 8 packs
And the nice thing is, if I run low on packs I just roll some more when needed :)

11. When I smoke (which is rarely) I do
I like rolling my own (with papers, not a machine) reminds me of when I used to roll, um, err, other things, to smoke.

It's that association that I enjoy, more so than the smoking itself.

14. i've been rolling my own for donkeys now.
tobacco is about £40/lb in uk ($75) and about 3/4 of that is tax. I smoke unfiltered and handrolled, I can roll, light and smoke one while riding hands free on a mountain bike. Still working on my one-handed technique.
