User ID: 1812489 United States12/20/2017 08:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've stopped smoking Marlboro cigarettes, the taxes on a carton of smokes here in Wisconsin have pushed the price up to about $80.00 which I find ridiculous. Quoting: Larry D. Croc So I "roll my own" with an electric roller. Takes me about 90 minutes to roll a carton which is easy to do while watching some Netflix. The price? I use good tobacco so my price for a carton is about $12. I could do it cheaper but my goal is an enjoyable smoke, not a "how cheap can I make it?" smoke. The nice thing about it is that since I started making my own I have no congestion, no cough, etc. Of course all I'm burning, now, is tobacco and the cigarette paper which isn't "fire safety" treated. As I said in the title, life is good... Is menthol an option? Up front costs? Point me in the direction..... *INTJ* If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do? Who keeps leaving egg related karma?? Why? |

(OP) User ID: 70736097 United States12/20/2017 08:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why so much? I get 5lb. bags of tobacco from Windy City Cigar for aroud $65 and 2400 Top rolling papers for $20-$22 on Amazon, 12 cartons. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75380653 Deezam  I like the Peter Stokkebye Turkish 84 tobacco which runs around $20 per pound on sale; takes about half a pound to make a carton, etc. Like I said, I could go cheaper but I figure if I found something I like, why not stay with it?

(OP) User ID: 70736097 United States12/20/2017 08:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | i can never find anything that taste like marlboro lights or close, know any? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75422234 The Peter Stokkebye Turkish 84 in a full flavor tube is what I use. And all I smoked before were Marlboro Lights or Marlboro Special Blend. Another option, a bit more complicated, is a blend of D&R Windsail Silver, Windsail Platinum, and Three Sails in a 1:1:1 ratio in a full flavor tube. Very, very close to the point I can't tell it from a Marlboro. "Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell, where they already have it."

(OP) User ID: 70736097 United States12/20/2017 08:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | $25 per packet pre made 20`s here in Australia. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76002464 Its over $1 per cig and going up all the time. And we have the nasty pics of smoking diseases on every pk. I do hate "nanny states". They raised the taxes here in my state by $1 per pack several years ago. I've never purchased a cigarette here since. I'd buy them on trips to Iowa, Missouri, etc. which are all much lower cost tax states. "Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell, where they already have it."
