    Rizzla or Swan? Green, red or blue? What's yer poison or in this case, poison packaging? :)

    Personally I prefer Swan papers, usually green though occasionally blue. Licorice(sp?) papers on the odd occasion.


    Filters-wise I normally use Rizzla "slimline" (actually quite big tbh) since that's what the closest shop sells. Sometimes I make the trek into the tobacconists and pick up a few packs of Swan Extra-Slims. Very thin smokes but easy to carry around (they come in boxes the size of a 10 box of ciggies). Also more smokes per ounce of tobacco which is nice.

    Ugh Licqourice!

    Never understand myself! I do use green Rizla myself, but love JOB when I see them. Nifty little double pack. As for filters? Any piece of cardboard usually suffices, however I hate when people use the front of the packet for a filter!

    Usually Swan green, sometimes Rizla if they don't have any Swan.
    Blue papers are pretty good, always have found them hard to roll for some reason but it cuts back on the taste of paper.
    White skins just taste odd imo!
    I've never used a filter, cardboard roach occasionally but will usually just do without.

    Ditto about the front of the pack... or when they open it up to use the green part at the back.

    Green Rizzla myself, hate the thinness of blues. The skins you get in a pack of Amber Leaf tobacco are nice too.

    Filters I tend to just use a piece of cardboard, have a few in my rolling box for them (Red Dwarf IV: Camille video case :))

    Filters are way better in my experience. Roaches just don't do the job as well. For tobacco anyways.

    Aye, rizzla green for me, unless I'm sharing my rolly, in which case, I'd use rizzla large size slims.

    I use rizla blue or else zig zags and always use a rizla filter with my cutters choice. I actually prefer rollies to normal smokes but its just not an option working out in the rain and there isn't enough time to roll one before more customers come along. As for liqourice- rotten. I use the blue skins because the paper is nice an light. I don't mind using green but the red ones are too thick altogether and i find you can only taste burning paper.

    Drum Light has less iirc. But "light" tobaccos have a fair bit of chemicals added to them. So it's a trade off really.

    How about that herbal stuff that one would find in herbal cigarettes?
    No tomacco ARAIK, but they will keep the rolly burning abeit with little taste.
