WTG Muffy - think we should change your name to Muffy the Rolling queen!

UPDATE
ROLLING SUCCESS !!!!!!!!!!
I was hopeless with the hand rolling and my machine arrived today........ it's brill and I'm doing great with rolling. Saving me a bleedy fortune too !!! Whoever said I'd do them too tight to start with was right but I have sorted it now !!!

OH who has never smoked in his life has just rolled me a brilliant fag.....lol........he's going to be very busy til I get the knack I reckon lol xx

I've smoked rollies for 30 years, and use liquorice papers - they don't dry and rip your lip apart like the white ones!!
Can't stand manufactured ones - don't like the taste and the smell of the smoke is horrendous!!
The smoke from roll ups doesn't seem to cling to you like manufacured ones either.

I have smoked all my life since I was about 17, I have a lot of health problems caused by smoking, I am going to try Champix and see how I get on with those, wish I could stop but been a smoker so many years and I have tried everything else but still haven't stopped.

I mostly smoke Superkings or Richmond superkings, but I keep baccy and machine for emergancies. I am lucky at least half the year to be able to smoke duty frees the cost is horrendous.....and where does all that tax go? I pay under 10 euros for 200 supekings thats about £7.00 and here they cost about a fiver for 20??? and the ones I buy abroad are made in Richmond UK!

As for the budget dont get me started they always hit the working and middle class - if there is such a thing these days in the pocket!!

For months we have been bombarded by the media via government about the Binge Drinking Culture and cheap supermarket beers and cider. They want to stop kids buying cheep booze and getting hammered so what do they do???

Add 14p to the price of a bottle of wine (I dont see many kids hanging round with a wineglass in hand!) and only 4p to 2 litres of cider!! and practically nothing to those super strength lagers.

Ok, spread the baccy evenly along the paper leaving a gap for the tip. Add the tip and gently roll, one hand rolling the tip, thumbs towards you, the other will roll to the same width. give a slight twist to catch the corner of the paper then you can roll it in, lick lightly and roll to seal. Pat the tip in so its not sticking out at the end, or you will feel like you are smoking a Silk Cut, all air.

You'll soon get the hang of it Muffy....and it is cheaper.....and TW is right ,you'll smoke less.

I got a packet of papers with the baccy and a packet of green rizzlas.......... plus a box of tips xx

Thanks for the advice TW. Makes loads of sense.

Just managed to smoke it....... took me about 4 attempts to light it and it didn't last long but it was smokable......... I def need more practise though lol xx

Ohhh yeah, new packs are very static, so the bits will be all over the place and you wont' be able to stuff them back in, they just stick to the flap LOL

Get plenty of gas for the lighter, they go out a lot lol

Hope you bought some extra papers Muffy, you'll probably need three per ciggy to start with until you get the hang of it.

Don't be tempted to make loads in advance, you'll just smoke more. Its ok to make up a couple if you are driving or doing something, but never make a days worth, you'll have the smoked by lunchtime.

The reason you smoke less on rollys is because you can't be arsed fiddling with them until you are gasping for one LOL

Oh dear lololol it looks square lolololol xx

Muffy would love to see you,,,,,,,,,,bacca wil be everywhere........and all loped sided,,,,,,,,,better with dry bacca,,,,,,I do some for oH sometimes,,,,,,,,,
oh and the bits get everywhere,so dont do it on a table without something under neath,,,,,,,,

Good luck Muffy......go easy on the licking bit.......if it's to soggy it will never light........lol

Jenny ,,sell them,,,,,,then you wont have any ,,,,:)))

I'm gonna try to hand roll my first ever now........

pmsl xx

I am a smoker of 30yrs, and will admit to not being proud of it. I would dearly love to be able to give up the weed.
I did go 8 months without, 5 years ago and felt wonderful. But started again when stressed whilst laying Breakfast room and Kitchen floor tiles.

Although Hubby has never smoked, I am lucky that we are able to buy my Ciggies from various places when family go abroad, at half the price. I can honestly say I have only paid £5 a packet twice in 4yrs.
But the problem I have now is I smoke just under 30 per day. In the last few weeks, I have now succumbed to a 'Smokers morning cough'
I am getting out of breath when climbing the stairs.

How on earth do I stop when I have 30 outers of 200 ciggies locked up at home.

I WILL GIVE UP THE WEED BEFORE THE YEAR IS OUT.

Muffy,

Trial and error,,,,,too much bacca and its a mini cigar to little and its a matchstick,,,,,,,,,plus the paper wont fit round the filter,,,,,,,,,OH does rollys,,,,,

tip,,>>>>dont try rolling new bacca let it dry off first..........

I rock and roll (cos I smoke less and it's cheaper).

I used to roll ciggies for my BIL when I was a kid, so can do it blindfold!

I do have proper ones here when 'posh' smoking friends come around...
