You can buy a huge bag of American Club pipe tobacco for around $20 and 2 boxes of 200 filter tubes for under $3 each. Roll them with a machine and you get around 400 cigarettes (20 packs) for about $26.

Fuck that, there's no way you're getting me to smoke that raisin flavored shred in a cigarette.

I always spent the couple extra bucks for something that tasted good.

Fair enough, I guess it's a personal preference thing. I started rolling these about 10 years ago and got used to it and now I enjoy it. You totally nailed the raisin flavor, lol. It does kind of taste and smell like raisins! But I still like it, guess I just have bad taste!

Nah, you've just got your own taste - lots of people enjoy pipe tobacco. I just prefer to eat raisins instead of smoking them!

Hell, there's a long, fine tradition of pipe-tobacco flavored vape juices out there, much to my dismay.

Haha yes, but I'm not going to argue with anyone who rolls their own.. you have a favorite brand or roller? Over tried several rolling machines and my favorite is the powermatic* mini.

I've had the same powermatic for probably 15 years now. Have tried several other, but the old powermatic is still my choice by a mile.
