Probably, Mac, but I don't drive and breathe in everyone else's exhaust fumes when I walk to work - which is ironic as I walk for health reasons LOL

I gave up recently, cos I had to and now I am rich and saving a bloody fortune, whether I go back to them is another question but I love my ciggies and I miss them :(

Just hand rolled a perfect rollie with filter, using Drum in 20 seconds!

Good grief girls (I've noticed it's only us feminine ones on here)
A bit of practice and it's easy to roll a fag AND put a filter in.
Rollies don't keep burning when you put them in the ashtray (a saving)
Bits don't drop out if you pack them tight enough.
I recommend you don't try Drum though until you are more experienced at rolling.
I have about 15 packs of the stuff - courtesy of my mum - who seems to think I like it!! It's as dry as tea leaves.

So I have to (a) manage that rolling mularkey and (b) poke a filter in the end........

I think not!

We all go to hell; we only get to choose our horse. And mine's a black Superking

Lol Sue...........rolling them is easy peasy........it just takes a bit of practice .

Yes , they do go out but then the room doesn't fill with un-smoked smoke.......lol

You can get filters to poke in the end to stop the baccy on teeth effect : )
