Roll me own demo

[springheal]

Most members here use tubes. Most kiwis roll their own and it is acceptable and very popular. In fact, I have never seen tubes available down here.

Just because we "roll our own", people don't assume we are smoking weed or anything illegal.

My way is a little different (thats me as usual)

Have a gander:

 

[Seanz]

Interesting method you have there man. When i smoke rollies these days its usually without filters. But thats not often usually in a pipe or roll a cigar

 

[springheal]

Rollies without a filter and I get a little baccy in my mouth which I dislike.

I do wonder what filters actually filter though. To me, a filter does appear to make a milder smoke.

Phil have you used the longer super king slim boomerang filters before?

Also if you keen on a tube machine. .I've seen them a couple of times on trademe (topomatic& the premier) going for about $30-$40.i don't think many kiwis even know what they're for. ..&tube from smokos (a smoke franchise shop through out nz)..they go for $8 for a box of 200 tubes..or smokos sell a plastic single tube filler for $16

Phil,
Your RYO cigarette came out looking better than I expected; typical American, I expected that it would look like a joint! LOL

Todd,
I assume you are speaking of NZ dollars ... do you know what that would be in U.S. dollars? While $30-$40 for a Top-O-Matic sounds in line with U.S. prices, $8 for a 200 count box of filter tubes sounds very expensive.

Is a fair cost on the injector Top-O-Matic but lord 8 bucks for tubes is rape.

Liked your video Phil

i used to buy the tops cigarette tobacco in the small pack with the papers included that looks like a pipe tobacco pouch. i got pretty good at rolling them without the filter. sometimes you got strange looks if you rolled up a skinny one.

I know we're abit deprived down here

 

[Mad Oshea]

Good vidio. I roll with an old tops roller or a thumb roller. I have tubes but the equipment is to bulky to carry around.
I prefer to hand roll as well.

 

[jekylnz]

Once you have rolled for 20 or so years it's no hassle to roll..usually roll in about 5 seconds

Not for ages. Unless they have changed, I didn't find them to be much longer.

I'm not really interested in investing in a machine/tubes etc as the availability is limited/expensive and given time, may not even be available here. Importing tubes, don't even want to consider it as they will no doubt get crushed.

Thanks, like I said, rollies are common practice here so being suspected of smoking a joint is not an issue.

Agreed. I don't mind paying a one off price for the machine but a continual cost of $8 a box, forget it!

Ta. You didn't see me smoke it!

Yep, me to.

Plus 20 more years for me. Been doing it forever. I even remember the days when buying a carton of smokes, upon opening the box, you may find a $5-$10-$20 note enclosed inside. The baccy companies wanted us hooked on their stuff. The lengths they would go to eh!

When Isa kid I rember the old timers spinnin a PA. Thinkin back on it it was quite amazing.

Especially rolling one while driving a tractor down a road always impressed me.

I lived with a guy who lost his arm in a bike accident and watching him roll one was impressive, most guys used their knees or somesuch, this guy had it down to just the hand

if they did that know .It could help cover all the tax


I also used to know a guy we called fingers..he had no thumbs..that was a tricky roller to

 

[DGBAMA]

we take our thumbs for granted. I remember an 8th grade experiment, we spent a whole day at school with our thumbs taped to our palms, making them unusable. Made even the simplest tasks so much harder/borderline impossible.

 

[Boboro]

That must be a Al. theachin tool left over from the saw mill days.

 

[springheal]

In the past, I was rolling smokes every day when driving by myself. Steering with my knee. Usually, I roll them when the road is mostly straight!

A small injury on the hand (especially the thumb) and I take ten times as long to roll a smoke.

Remind me to never be anywhere on New Zealand's roads.
