Cigarette-making machine

Cigarette makers There have

always been people who prefer to smoke hand-rolled or hand-stuffed cigarettes rather than factory-made ones. As packets of factory-made cigarettes become increasingly expensive, the number of people who roll their own cigarettes has risen slightly. The price of fine-cut tobacco is not rising at the same rate as that of ready-made cigarettes. The figures clearly show that, despite the enormous price rises in recent years, the number of smokers is declining only minimally. It goes without saying that savings must be made in other ways. Rolling or stuffing your own cigarettes is certainly one option.

Spoilt for choice

When looking for a cigarette-making machine, you should decide in advance whether you want a manual filling machine or a cigarette roller. All variants are available as starter kits. Filling machines include lever-operated and ratchet-type models. Depending on the model, several cigarettes can be filled in a single step. Getting the tobacco in the cigarette just the right firmness is something you’ll quickly learn, though it may take a few attempts. The same applies to rolling, which may not turn out perfectly on the first try. After just a few hand-rolled cigarettes, you’ll get the hang of it and be able to enjoy the taste of the tobacco in no time.

The necessary accessories: Alongside the tools – which include rolling boxes and cigarette rollers – the accessories are

a very important part of the process. Tubes with and without filters, cigarette papers, filters and, above all, tobacco make up the basic kit. As many cigarette manufacturers offer fine-cut tobacco, there’s no need to compromise on the flavour you’re used to. Experience shows that even without outside help, a novice can quickly get to grips with the equipment. The important thing is to familiarise yourself with the options available and to make a conscious decision to stop smoking factory-made cigarettes. By rolling your own, you gain an insight into the materials that are inhaled and have to be broken down by the body.
