Non smokers avert your eyes.
 

My first attempt at a roll up ... due to purely economic reasons you understand.

Can only get better, can't I ?

lol katex... good try!! did you try and smoke it as well?? my roll ups where always too loose and it all fell out or burnt down or too tight to smoke :D

Re: Non smokers avert your eyes.
 

I have been smoking roll ups for a year now.
I use a rolling machine - I have never tried to make one without it.
I found that I still craved factory made cigarettes for many months after.
I think the addiction is partly due to addiction to the synthetic junk they add to tobacco.

Lol, I could never rol them, even before Parkinson's.

My fingers were nibble enough to attach a thousand crysals to a flashy frock, but I never could manage a decent roll up.

Perhaps if you slip into a suede bikini, pop off to the nearest botanic gardens, and try rolling them on your thigh, you might have more success.

:D

Another tip for you - get a cigarette holder - it stops the paper sticking to your lips.
..but don't get one with a tar filter - they get bunged up so fast that you will spend more on tar filters than fags. Also you will need pipe cleaners

Why not smoke a pipe. Its not a men only thing, and pipe tobacco is a a lot cheaper than cig tobacco.

At the same time get a deer stalker hat, then you can pretend to be my great uncle Sherlock.:theband:

lol nice try Kate, i've been smoking them for ages, i use menthol tips in mine

a 50g pouch of baccy lasts me 4/5 weeks

You'll get better kate, when I was smoking, many, many moons ago I rolled my own, could actually roll them with one hand :D

That's cheating Margaret:D

Re: Non smokers avert your eyes.
 

If the reason you are smoking 'roll-ups' is economic.......why don't you give up the fags altogether and save yourself a packet? (OK, it's a daft question).

Re: Non smokers avert your eyes.
 

Well done. I wouldn't like to even try, looks very easy when seeing someone else doing it but i bet it's pretty hard.

Re: Non smokers avert your eyes.
 

Get yourself one of those little machines.

My granddad always had roll ups and he also used to save the bits that he didn't smoke and after every 10 or so ciggies he had enough to make another one.

That's a couple of disgraceful admissions on a family site, we can only ponder as to what was keeping the other hand busy!
:eek:

Re: Non smokers avert your eyes.
 

Yes, I did smoke it Emamum ... felt terribly nauseous after though ... still gotta' get through this burn I suppose. Made a second one, but the paper came unstuck after smoking it half way down. .. that was funny.

Sure I have one in the house somewhere .. left over by son (though what he was rolling, was never quite sure.. :rolleyes:) .. can't find. Daughter is very good at this, but treats herself sometimes on a Saturday night to a 'factory packet'.

Eeew, do you think that would work, where's the nearest then ? .... :D


Retlaw, would not be seen dead in a hat !!

Now Margaret ... did say non smokers avert their eyes ... knew somebody would nag me to stop ... :D

Someone made a comment last night that roll-ups are not very ladylike ... umph ... why not ??... as long as I don't dangle it out of my mouth. MargaretR's cigarette holder idea appeals to me... posh like.. tee hee.

Thanks folks.

Thanks for sharing that picture.

It looks like one of Nora Batty's socks. :D
