Handmade Cigarettes in general Reviews

I started smoking in the same way as many people do, being a teenager wanting to fit in. Since my younger years I always smoked pre made cigarettes, and until a few years ago, I didn't really notice much of an effect on my wallet. Strange things started to happen in the economy and tax was blown higher on cigarettes, this hefty price ...  Read the complete review

Before I start I am not saying that smoking benefits anyone or is a habit anyone should get into but for us that are already addicted I'm just going to state the benefits of rolling your own cigarettes than the other alternative of cigarettes! The first thing is defiantly price, I smoke around 10 a day which isn't much but ten ...  Read the complete review

I have smoked Rothmans for many years but recently, with my trips to the supermarket costing £140 for 400, I have had to start thinking about alternatives - if only to cut down a little. £140 every 10 days is a hell of a lot of money. Being new to rolling your own I decided to experiment a bit, so I bought 25g of Gold Leaf and ...  Read the complete review

Thought i'd give you all a little how to on making your own cigarettes instead of buying them. I'll state, although as i'm sure you all know anyway and don't need my warning, that smoking is a very bad habit. I'm sure my lungs look terrible, however i've got enough things going on that, at the minute, frankly I don't care. ...  Read the complete review

Much healthier than a bought cigarette! Regardless of tobacco brand, hand-made cigarettes are by far the healthier option than manufactured ones, simply because in all truth, they contain none of the harmful chemicals that are always produced in packaged ones despite this fact not being advertised. As all smokers ...  Read the complete review

At over £5 a packet of 20 cigarettes for a 40 plus a day smoker this is a very expensive habit indeed. The only positive side is you can quickly and easily calculate just how many you smoke in a 24 hour period. For almost the same price you can purchase a 50g pack of reasonable quality rolling tobacco and roll your own making them as fat ...  Read the complete review

I used to smoke straights until 1. I became broke and 2. found out how much better they are in most every way. From the relatively cheap Richmond Super Kings to the cheapest Amber leaf and cutters choice... So I started buying amber leaf which as w whole is the cheapest as it comes with Rizal. However, one you actually smoke ...  Read the complete review

I have never been a massive fan of smoking roll ups for two reasons: 1. I don't think they taste the same as normal cigarettes 2. I cant roll them!! Lol But just recently and I have no idea why I have been smoking a lot more than usual and that is really taking its toll on my money so Ive been forced into ...  Read the complete review

The roll-ups vs branded debate has been raging amongst the smoking populace for years ,and to be honest I have no idea which is better. I personally prefer to sit on the fence and alternate between the two, as they both have their benefits and drawbacks. I guess it just depends upon your personal preferences. Roll ...  Read the complete review

I have smoked now for around five years and the majority of those cigarettes have been 'tailor-made'. I have rolled my own ciggies but only when I have been strapped for cash and couldn't afford 'tailor-made' fags. I can roll quite well and they smoke okay but I really wouldn't recommend roll-ups as a convinient way to smoke. Yes they ...  Read the complete review

Making your own cigarettes may take practise, but its so much cheaper than buying ready made cigarettes and with less added chemicals, slightly better for you. Makes you feel better about about your addiction. :D

Before I go into the in's and out's of hand rolling, I am well aware of the harms of smoking, it's consequences, but we are all going to die so we might as well do it being happy. I would have died happy had I not smoked, but I've been smoking for nearly 40 years, I enjoy it so bugger the consequences. For a starting price of ...  Read the complete review

Far be it from me to actually advocate any type of cigarette but the simple truth is that hand rolled fags are a lot cheaper than readymades, a lot (apparently) better for you as they have less of the "keep the fag alight" chemicals and can make you look like Clint Eastwood in his cowboy films if you use a liquorice rizla which ...  Read the complete review

With a packet of cigarettes costing well over £4 a for a packet of 20,smoking is a very expensive habit. If like I do you smoke because you enjoy it the cheapest option apart from giving up is to roll your own cigarettes. A 40g packet of golden virginia at from a supermarket is,at the time of writing,£9.01. Depending on ...  Read the complete review

There’s nothing quite like rolling it between your fingers, licking the underside and pinching the tip….of a finely crafted, handmade and cherished roll-up! Ever since my student days I have been a roll-up fanatic. Yes, mainly because I have never really been able to justify to my pocket forking out for cigarettes ...  Read the complete review

As a smoker, albeit of 'only' five years, I've tried many different brands of cigarette from all around the globe, and I've come to the conclusion that hand-rolling your own cigarettes is the only option in the UK. Here's why; 1.) Cost. Whilst I pay my way like anyone else, I highly object ...  Read the complete review

There is a new type of cigarette around, or at least there would be if I could make them exist! I guess you are a bit puzzled so I had better explain. ~~~What is Concept? It's a whole new recycled old idea, whereby you can purchase a complete kit to make your own cigarettes, for half the price of ready made, which ...  Read the complete review
