heya i normally just smoke fags from a packet but i want to start rolling them as they seem to taste better (& its cheaper:) )
any tips on how to do it?! because right now i think i'm a bit rubbish at it...
Also, do you need something at the start of it to act as a sort of filter?

go for swan slim filters, i find green rizla's a bit crap, go for the thinner blue ones, when i first started rolling i wasnt putting enought tabacco in, so put too much in if possible.
Space the baccy as evenly as possible, roll it round (not too much ,too tight is just as bad as loose) and tuck the paper in.
Blues are best. Swan filters yup. Takes a litle practice then you get the nack. I daresay no time and you'll be fine.
Are they fuck. Yes they may taste better but they burn like shit, are like grease proof paper, and gak right up.
Rollies taste better, last longer, are not as bad for you and they're cheaper. Can't go wrong really. I've given up save for social smoking and duty free baccy is what I smoke.
Tips are a good idea but personally I prefer them without. And it's got to be Golden V above anything, though white Drum is alright too.
I've always used green rizla for tabs and never had any problems, and I would second the rec for GV, far and away the best baccy. Hmm let's see, overfill rather than underfill and other than that practise makes perfect. I was crap at rolling for ages and then I just suddenly got the hang of it. It's not rocket science honest but there's definitely a knack :thumb:
Still, I think hes lucky to find a non smoker who can do them at all tbh.
He always uses silver rizla, or blue if they dont have silver.
Indeed, Cutters Choice isn't too shabby either.
I use blue kings for spliffs but I always use greens for my rollies.
Filters aren't neccesary, you can use a roach (a rolled up bit of cardboard) or you can go without either but as Briggi said, it's nasty and only for desperate times.
Also Skive: I was listening to 'In Complete Darkness' just as I read you post!
HARDCORE WILL NEVER DIE!!!!
Where are you from in the Forest?
my mate smokes 25 rollies a day. he was at the doctor, and the doctor was asking him about smoking. He said 'yea i smoke 25 a day, but it's rollies so it's not as bad'. The doctor told him that rollies were actually worse for you and it's a myth that they're better...
They have more tar, but less toxic chemicals, and you smoke no where near as much tobacco in rollie as you do in a cigerette.
Have a look at the cheicals found in cigerettes...

Whilst I'm sure many if those can be found in rolling tobacco, I'm sure many of them are also additives only found in tailor mades.
fuck I lack the cigarettovocabulary...
*leaves thread*
mine look like spliffs without a filter but with one they look alright although it can be hard putting the filter in:/
o well tastes better in the end(i think anyway)
but in desperte times, rollies are always good haha.
p.s if you dont have filters, make a roach, rip a bit of card off your rizla pack, roll it up and use that, it gives you something to keep all the baccy going into your mouth because it tastes terrible haha:thumb:
open out rizla sticky side furthest away from you but facing, place filter left side (the other way is cack-handed), pull your tobacco so there are no clumps and place evenly in rizzla, spread out with finger if required, pick up rizzla with thumb and forefinger either side, roll front edge of rizzla down to where tobacco and rizzla meet, move fingers around so that rizzla and baccy are held by forefinger and middle finger behind, like the rizzla sticky, put thumb under the tube of tobacco, use forefinger to nudge rizla edge under whislt rolling up with your thumb, admire your handwork, smoke.
Taste better?! Are you mad?
It's true.
