Worked 28 years in the tobacco industry. Currently semi-retired and spending a bit too much time on the internet. I smoke 15-18 cigarettes per day, each one of them hand rolled. I am a contributing writer to two industry publications.
My personal reason for rolling my own has nothing to do with saving money. It is a beleif that I have which relates to avoiding unnecessary pork - meaning less money on taxes and more money on good tobacco. I do my research and then post it on Wiki like any good Wikipedian.
