    Super Slim filters are the way to go. The come in what looks like a 10 box of fags. Rizla are the best cause swan shrink when you smoke them and get f*cked by the end of the smoke, Rizla all the way.

    never tried the bull brand but super slim are a must

    I used to smoke fags but switched when I got over the change of tobacco. Golden Virginia for me. I get a legitimate supply of it from someone who works in aviation. works out at about €4 for 50g. Thats unbelievable....and theres a pack of green rizla in each pouch to seal the deal...

    Nice :D

    The swan filters are absolutely woeful. Super Slim Rizzlas are the best. I find the slims tend to shrink a good bit as well towards the end.

    I used not like the taste of rollies at all but after 3 years of smoking them I much prefer the taste of them now. They are far less harsh on the throat and don't give the nasty aftertaste. Having to roll them is a nuisance initially, but you'd get used to it after a couple of months (even in the pub). The economical factors speak for themselves. Amber Leaf FTW :)

    LoL. I would roll when on a call, but I know the type, and they'd annoy the f**k out of me as well. Heck, I'd often roll one in the space between my desk, and the door.

    A mate of mine smokes rollies and I'm nearly always finished my pre-rolled before he's even lit his.
    I take my time to roll, sometimes. It's not a case of "havetostartsmokingassoonaspossiblewhenIgetoutthedoor", but a case of "exit door. roll it. smoke it. enjoy it."
    That_Guy wrote: »
    I've tried both types but I find that rollies have a strange taste. Don't really like it to be honest. Maybe it's because I've just been so used to smoking pre-rolled for so long.
    Or maybe it because you have not tried one that you like. Can you seriously say you like every pre-rolled cigarette that you've ever had?

    Indeed, Amber Leaf is quite nice. If it's a hazy day, and you're having a drink, rolling can be quite calming.

    been a pack man most of the time as my rolling skills were always a joke, but the other day i saw a pouch of camel in the shop so i said fcuk it might as well try it, finally getting the hang of it, the camel isn't too bad, drum light tends to have more flavour,
    the nicest loose baccy i've had was lucky strike , got it in germany and it was perfect.
    going to france and germany in the summer if anyone knows of any good foreign brands?

    if your on packs or rollies i find after a while it's nice to have the other type once mid-pack/pouch

    Rollies ftw.

    I used to smoke fags.
    Benson or Jonny blue preferably. .
    But. . if i ever had a cigarette now. . ick. . the taste is horrible.
    I have actually gagged. Their disgusting. =/

    Rollies have a much smoother taste.
    You get more than 20 and their cheap.
    Win win. =]]

    No doubt about it "roll your own" .
    Been smoking real baccy for 20 years now, it's like when you get used to drinking fine wine
    a bottle of cheap plonk just dosent work.
    Thankfully tobacco is cheaper than those mass produced "things" (I wont even call them cigarettes).
    When you get used to rolling it's a pleasure in itself.
    Rollies ABÚ!!!! :D

    Well on the financial side it's not disputed its cheaper by a **** tonne, though it is annoying when you run out of rizlas so you can't make fags even though you have a fresh 50g pack of bacci but is cheaper. As for health, if you do it without a filter it is definatly worse. With a filter you have a thinner fag so less bacci, the bacci is purer and everything has no added chemicals. Pre rolled have jet feul in the paper to make it burn continualy. Rollies also make you smoke less because you have to make it so you smoke less.

    More and more cigarette smokers are moving to rollies for financial reasons, a trend I'd expect to continue as the price of cigarettes continues to rise.

    Once you get used to rollies it's hard to go back. A normal cigarette just doesn't feel the same any more.
