They're usually too loose or a funny shape, she can't find the right amount to put in the papers, they keep going out and she struggles with getting the filter just right. She says they take so long the cravings gone by then but is still persevering but it's making her crotchety lol. Can any of you give me any tips I can pass on to her, like how long does it take to get them just right etc


The tip my brother gave me and it worked was buy one of the small yokes of backy and roll the lot..do not stop until its all rolled, you have well learnt after that.... Thumbs Up


Do you mean roll the tobacco before putting it in the papers? that's something I remember she mentioned, that she can't roll it in the papers so they come out flat lol


No she should fluff the tobacco first get some air into it..put it into the paper evenly then roll with the paper between the first 2 fingers and thumbs....

Don't suppose there's any all encompassing 'right way' tbh. Every smoker does it slightly different in one way or another.

Here's my way. Just hold the Rizla in one hand with the filter in yer gob whilst you work. Grab a bit of baccy with the other paw and just deposit it on the Rizla. It's not artwork, just spread it round, with none at the end intended for the filter. Once arranged, take the filter an put it in that gap you left free from adorning with baccy. Use both hands to roll it gently..not tight or that will compress the tobacco making it hard/impossible to smoke. Roll the cig from there, lick the sticky segment and adhese. Voila your cancer stick should be sufficiently intact to smoke and enjoy


Thanks Lucifer Thumbs Up I'm printing off any advice to give to her as she really can't afford the packs, but can't give up smoking either

Any hardened rollie smoker will blaspheme. You have to use more baccy to make it work, and it's such a clart, you may as well take up religion instead without all that fiddle-farting


I was reduced to trying to use one of those when I broke my arm.... I had to refer to the instructions EVERY TIME!

They are confusing little devices!

that was how I learned to roll.... having mastered that (and I don't indulge anymore... grew out of it when I married my purer than pure hubby), rolling fags with baccy was easy!

Been there buddy. Improvised filters of torn strips of Rizla packs provide a cheaper less effective alternative in a pinch. Usually synonomous with smoking the weed I know..but I don't touch that stuff..tried it and did not like the effect one bit.


thats how I STARTED smoking, didnt smoke at all, all my friends were into the weed, I tried it, I liked it, and have been smoking IT, AND backy ever since, and I am 56 now, Nod


Thats the worse OHG..in the religion of Rasterferian you can't smoke backy its an impurity just like salt thats a no no aswell..peops dabble with the weed and end up hooked to backy instead....


yeah thats what happened to me, as I say I didnt start smoking till I was 26, (30 years ago Eeker) and I reasure myself that its people who start smoking very young who get the serious health problems ( in most cases ) cause their lungs aint properly formed yet,
and I think the reason I aint given up is cause I STILL enjoy the old spliffs, and I cant see me stopping smoking ciggies, as long as I still smoke the "other", Nod

I know so many people who have stopped the "other"... but try as they might, they can't stop the tobacco, so still smoke roll ups.

That's EXACTLY it. Separate out your tobacco, make a nice even loose-ish mix, but don't skimp. You want evenness Nod


I have a tin and I put my papers on the lid..put a paper on the open paper packet then I can sprinkle the backy in.... Nod

I've got the Midas touch with fags and the like stonksy. I also make a fine cup of tea, and I don't think the two are unrelated. I will charge an extra ÂĢ25,000 a year for the tea alone though (just labour, you supply materials). And I want my own flat. And weekends off. PM me.
