Tips on Using a Cigarette Machine
-
Filters
-
Add a filter to a roll-your-own cigarette. Some cigarette machines use plain rolling papers to make cigarettes. Place a loose filter in the area with the tobacco before rolling it into the paper to make a filtered cigarette.
Overfill the Machine
-
Use more tobacco in a crank machine than a cigarette needs. By design, crank-driven machines will only accept as much tobacco as they can use in a cigarette. The first action of the crank seals the machine's tobacco area. Any extra tobacco will be left on top of the tobacco area.
Pack the Cigarettes
-
Cigarettes made with a crank or electronic machine will need to be packed, or settled, before being smoked like pre-made cigarettes. Tap the ends of the filled cigarette on a hard, flat surface to pack any loose tobacco remaining in the cigarette.
Types of Tobacco
-
Tobacco marketed as roll-your-own is cut very finely, but other cuts of tobacco, like strip-cut pipe tobacco, is also small enough to be used in cigarette machines. Using pipe tobacco can widen the range of flavors available to cigarette smokers.
