DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO STILL ROLLS THEIR OWN TOBACCO CIGARETTES?

ACTIVE Tue Aug 28, 07 - Wed Aug 27, 08

Is this something only indigents (homeless people) use nowadays? My grandad used to roll his own cigarettes. I don't know if the old man ever smoked a joint in his life; and, I never had the nerve to ask him. I've never operated one of the machines. Grandad offerred to teach me how once, though, when I was young (about 8 or 9). My mom, who was in the next room overheard the offer, and intervened with some comment like, "You do, and it's the LAST thing you'll teach ANYBODY." lol. I never did learn how to operate one of those machines. And, until recently, I didn't know they even still made them. However, I work with Public Transportation now, and in the course of my duties, I have not only seen them; but, I've seen indigents rolling TOP and Bugler tobaccos, among other more obscure brands. To be truthful, the 8 year old inside of me wants to go up to one of these scruffy dudes, and propose to him/her, "hey, I'll buy you a pack of Marlboros if you teach me how to use that thing;" but, the 44 year old man wins out, and I walk away. I really don't need to know that, do I?

Sure you do! It would be culturally enlightening.
Hurray for the more sensible side of you, Contra!
Yes, I know someone who does it; but, I don't know how to operate one.
I know how to operate one, and I know people who still do.
Only deceased ancestors like yours.

It's easy. Open her up, drop your paper in sticky edge up and at the rear and slightly up more than the front. Throw yer baccy in from left to right in a line (or vicey versa). Then placing each forefinger on the back roller and each thumb on the front roller close it over, and start rolling it in till there's just the rear sticky showing. Give it a lick and roll it in. Open her up, an viola! Another nail in the coffin.

lol. thanks, britvic, and with the inflection by which you described the process, you could be the reincarnation of Luther Johnson.

I've been rolling my own tobacco for quite a while now. Probably about 14 or 15 years. I don't use a roller though, just my fingers. lol I learned from watching the old timers where I live roll by hand.

It's not as easy to describe at the way britvic did, but if you watch someone do it a few times and then give it some practice, it's second nature. The reason I roll by hand is that it's quicker (for me) than using a roller.

And no, it's not just something the indigents do. Lots of people where I live do. But then my area is full of old timey people. lol

If you really feel the need to pick up the habit, let me know. I'll be glad to show you what a ruined lung looks like.

I've got two of those machines stuck away in a drawer some place. I don't smoke anymore though. You use them like britvic55. They also make filters and you can drop in one of those at the end if you want.
