jadnifer Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Most of the time I smoke Marboro Red 100's But sometimes I cant afford the brand name smokes, so I buy the cheap ones. Is it true that they use the left over tobacco from the brand name cigarettes to make the cheap ones? I also heard that they use more additives and chemicals in the cheap smokes. Is this true? Do you ever smoke cheap cigarettes? What kind do you smoke? Do you know where you can get them cheaper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubh Aingeal Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Where to get them cheap.... Make friends with someone thats in the Military. The PX is wonderful for cheap anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulrev Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I used to buy tobacco from a smoke shop and roll my own with a tube rolling machine. They weren't bad at all, just a pita to have to roll them all. I think I'd pick up a pound for 16 bucks and that would make about 3 cartons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Guy Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Indeed, from what i understand it's so much cheaper to roll your own. I know my parents used to go through big indian smoke shop but taxes caught up of course. It was all mail order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homicidalheathen Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Roll your own, I hear the tobbacco is much better for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneDead Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 yeah rolling your own is cheaper and as far as smoking goes, it is "better" for you that way. (i know i know i say better because it is and i know smoking is not good for you so no one needs to say it ) you can also get the machine and the *tubes* whatever they are called all ready rolled up with the filters on them and add the tobacco to those. seriously if i was a hardcore smoker i would have to roll my own. cigarettes are soooo expensive. but i am glad that i am not. my husband smokes enough for 2 people so i don't need to be a smoker too.

ManicQueen Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I'm thinking about rolling my own. So where's a good place to get the tobacco? And is the tobacco name brand stuff? I smoke Newport Lights so I would want something that tasted like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadnifer Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Thanks for the info guys. I always thought about rolling my own and everyone says that it is cheaper. The ones that someone else rolled for me once were too strong, so I guess that turned me off of them for awhile. Do they sell light and ultra light and stuff like that too? Or just full flavor tobacco for the roll your own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellygrrrrrl Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Roll your own is the best way to go - money wise.... But if you quit, you'd save approximately, assuming you smoke a pack a day..... and each pack cost approx (I'm going with $4.95) $4.95.... $1806.75 a year!!!! Thats a lot of coin baby!!!

Guest Megalicious Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 I started off smoking death cigarettes, due to my cousin Adrian, thats what he smoked and I would bum them all the time. Then I went to camel non-filters, then to Marb's .. now I don't smoke at all. Though I get the urge to all the time. =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Nister Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Is it true that they use the left over tobacco from the brand name cigarettes to make the cheap ones? I heard they use the tar found on the bathroom floors of mexican night clubs. At this time that is still an unfounded rumor of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anathema Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 it seems like it would be more expencive for them to put chemicals and crap in cheaper smokes so to me the logical thing would be to say that that is not true. shrugging. logic sometimes does not always prevail in this world though so i am not to sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HipsterDufus Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 www.cigarettetobacco.com is one of the best vendors of RYO tobacco. I bought one of their premier blends today actually... Just get a machine and some filtered tubes and you're all set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Spiral (13) Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 1. No smoking please it makes the baby troy cry. (i dont care about the smoke , i just dont want YOU smoking and having bad stuff happen) 2. Buy the tobbaco and roll your own. 3. Er no wait see rule number 1. (smoked regularly for all of 3 months and then turned into a 1 pack every 6 months smoker... usually cloves though) I tried that nicotine gum... shit wouldn't stay lit.

Lilith Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 THey make Different flavors and strengths of tobbaco as well as tubes. You cant get menthol tubes and tobbacco, light, super light or full flavor. I suggest getting small bags 8 oz or so and try them befor you commit to a one pound bag. Any smoke shop will carry everything you need and are usually well knowledgable as to what will get you closest to your name brand. As i have said befor around here you can make your own for about $1.00 per pack and once you get the hang of rolling them it really does not take much time at all to make up a bunch for the day week what ever. I usually roll mine while watching my fav tv show. They also have a machine that will do most of the work for you but it cost around $300 which far more then the hand ones. The hand one depending on what kind you get will cost from $20 to $45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeymustard02 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Lol People will still buy them and STILL complain about the price. I hope that some day, cigarettes will cost 100 dollars a pack lolol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
