I found I was spending 150 dollars a month on Marlboros. Yes, I am a disgusting cigarette smoker for twenty years, and I LIKE 'em lol. I went to
smoke shop after reading a post recently that promoted 'drum' and got an education and a way to cut that cost in a third (at least). I was told and
have found 'gambler' tobacco is closest to the boros. First one I smoked I actually got a buzz. 1 lb of shake in resealable bag 17.39. Enough for
roughly 3 cartons of smokes give or take. A zigzag cig making mach (very cool/6.39) operates by filling and tamping center cartridge attaching empty
paper WITH filter, (200 for 1.89) and closing and zipping back and forth. I am truly amazed. The first few I made were loose, not enough tobacco. But
by the fifth it looked just like any store bought cig. Just have to tamp down first 2 cms or so. This could save you thousands a year for the like
tobaccy afflicted. Not hard either. I've got it down pack, load, and zip it about 3 mins. A couple things I've noticed is it burns longer, less
chemical taste. And I only smoke one every 45 min's compared to maybe a Marlboro every 30 or so. I know I'm going to get, 'why don't you just
quit', but I really do enjoy my smokes right or wrong. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
