Some of that high dollar tobacco is strong, it'll make me dizzy. I had some cherry something or other and it made sick to my stomach.

When not buying my Camel blues, I like to roll Tops tobacco by hand. The machine makes it easy but I like practicing my hand rolls. Everyone jokes about my rollies looking like joints Lol.

Pipe tobacco often did that to me (I smoked a pipe in my 20s), it was just so gooey and potent. Some folks use pipe tobacco in their cigs, but you don't really inhale pipe tobacco like you do cigs. I couldn't do it...

Nat Sherman's are the finest cigs in the WORLD. They're like smokable candy. I used to buy them all the time, my favs were MCDs. I loved traveling to Richmond, great town and you can smoke in the restaurant, bars, chuck e. cheeze, even the airport! I got laid in that town more often than not. Hmmm, time for another visit...
They really are amazing. I like the mint queens. Excellent coffee smoke. lol I'm in southern va. Much less cool than Richmond, but hey, so am i

I found my fathers old rolling machine when i was in high school..maybe 9th grade..I didn't smoke..but i started rollin and slinging butts for $0.25. If you can roll for $2-$3/pack..start selling them at concert/etc., just don't become another Eric Garner.

I thought this thread would be about the cigarette vending machines of yesteryear. *wipes tears of nostalgia away* sniff

Several of my inlaws have been using the machines for a few years now. Loose tobacco is taxed much lower than finished cigs here so it's much cheaper. (We have lowest state tobacco tax in usa, I think)
I tried it, tempted by the lower cost but I'd rather pay more and get the kind I've been smoking for far too many decades.

I really don't get why they tax cigarettes. I understand not allowing smoke in public buildings due to second hand smoke but taxing something that is so hard to quit is just as moneygrab.

I shop in a local suburban store for my cigarettes. It's a roll your own/headshop, but they use a loophole to roll them for you without the taxes: you order them from their main shop by telephone, and you have to be referred by a known customer to do this. You state how many cartons you desire along with the tubes and tobacco you prefer (they blend natural tobacco to taste like your favorite popular brand), and in two days they deliver them to the shop closest to you. When you go in, you tell them that you have a carton(s) for pick up and you pay in the store, but they bring you out to their car to give you your cigarettes. It's like a shady drug deal, I love it. Their price? $35 per carton! That's $3.50 per pack, as opposed to $12 here in Chicago. In fact, I was thinking about quitting 'til I found this place. How can I quit now when smoking is so affordable? I think this place may be the death of me. Anyway, I sometimes forget to order before I run out, so I'm usually stuck taking out a loan to buy a couple full price packs. When I ran out this time, I thought I'd invest in a cigarette machine from them to be able to make my own when I find myself without. I purchased this from them for $50 -


I sat down last night while baked, grabbed my preferred tobacco and tubes I also purchased, and watched a YT video on how it's done. It's actually kinda fun, and I finished doing a carton before my playlist ran out. It's impressive how nicely they come out, I like to pack mine extra full and firm. Doing it this way, it only comes out to $1.90 a pack. I won't do this on the regular because I'm lazy, but it's nice to have in a pinch. You guys ever roll your own?
No, cuz i don't smoke cigs. But good for you.

80 cents? Holy shit... when was that?
My dad used to send me to the corner store for cigarettes and/or beer. They didn't ask any questions back then, they just assumed I was buying for my dad. That was usually true. He smoked Salem's, and they were 75 cents in the early 80s...

75 cents? Wow. That just seems like nothing. It's hard to imagine. 75 cents, amazing.
