How to Roll Your Own Cigarettes with Ease using Premium Pipe Tobacco

Back in the good old days in the cowboy era, long before the invention of cigarette machines, the only way to roll a cigarette was using your fingers.  This was challenging for many and as the boomers back in the 1960s embraced “alternative products,” their skill set increased.  But today, if you have to buy the best pipe tobacco paper and then roll a smoke on your own, it can be challenging. Enter technology: you can now buy a manual cigarette machine for under $30 bucks that should hold up for 2-3 years, depending on your usage, and go large with an electric cigarette machine typically under $100.
