[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 728069, member: 1963"] husband and I rolled our own cigs for many years. We had a crank roller that used tubes, which husband would use to roll me a pack for work, but for the most part used hand rollers, papers, and filters. One day, I was sitting in the passenger seat rolling husband a cig, raised it to my mouth to lick the glue strip, removed the cig from the roller, and handed it to husband... At that point, the cop behind us pounced. I showed him the roller, the papers, the bag of filters, and the bag of tobacco. He asked if he could search the car, and we said, "sure". (Me warning him about catching himself on fishing hooks as we were on our way up to WI to go fishing for the day.) I thought the cop was gonna turn himself inside out sniffing for weed, but he finally settled down and admitted that all we had was tobacco and what I rolled was indeed a cigarette. We got into it when they first slapped very heavy taxes on cigarettes but hadn't yet started taxing loose tobacco. Cigs were about 40 dollars a carton, and you could roll a carton of cigs with decent tobacco for about 12 dollars. By the time I quit smoking and went to vaping, I was spending about 400 dollars a month on cigs, as opposed to about 15 dollars a month on expendible vaping materials (coils and e-juice). (the hardware amortized, runs about 3 bucks a month) [/QUOTE]
