Tobacco or Cigarettes

Cigarettes

GV for me. I find Samson and OH way too dark and strong - my chest is wrecked after only a few.

Anyone else dry their tobacco before rolling? I spread about 7-8g on a paper kitchen towel and microwave it for about 20 seconds. To me, it tastes much better.

How many rollers use a filter? I roll fairly thin, so I cut the super slim filters on the diagonal and pop them in after the cig is rolled.

Also, I think the fact that a rollie will go out if you don't take a pull for a minute great. No chance of setting the house on fire. Also, I never roll in advance (except for a car journey). I operate on the principle that if I'm too drunk to roll it, I'm too drunk to smoke it!

I always leave the bag open if its GV as its a very moist tobacco. I picked up 250g of GV and Drum (they were the only brands there) in Abu Dhabi recently. I've blown through the Drum, but am a bit disappointed with the GV as its very moist and not strong enough (especially considering GV was almost double the price of the Drum)

Yeah, I also find that GV rollies have atendecy to extinguish themselves very quickly. I actually don't find this a problem with other tobaccos.

I must try that microwave trick now, and get back to you to say how well it works.

cigs are cheaper where I live. though the flavored wraps are a neat experience. besides, tobacco gets everywhere. At least 10% of a pouch goes into my vacuum, i think.

I went for cigs only because i cant roll properly and am too lazy to learn the art of it :P

B&H were my 1st choice but they've been hard to smoke as of late so need to either experiment with rolling or pick a lighter brand of cigs.(suggestions)? :P

Used to smoke B&H Gold till about 2 months ago ish. Now on Drum and LOOOOOOOOVE it Not the rolling part obviously...and so much cheaper! Kinda gone off proper fags now.

^ I'm going off rollies since I started vaping. Down from 15-20 per day to about 5, some days less or none! See my post #7 above.

Amber Leaf for the win.

I got 5x 50g pouches a while ago for 18 quid, absolute money saver.

I don't smoke that much so they keep me going, but Im awful for leaving down my pouches when im out in smoking areas etc so i have a few left over 12.5g pouches that i bring on the beer with me.
