To split and reroll my ciggies

19 replies

alfiethekittycat · 21/08/2010 16:09

I smoke about 10 a day roll ups, My mum has been on holiday and brought me 200 ciggies back, If I smoke them as they are will prob smoke 20 a day as I'm so used to roll ups, with roll ups I can leave them in the ashtray and they don't burn away so have a few drags every now and then.

I've been breaking them up and rerolling them to make them last longer but had 2 friends visit today who thought I was mad.
They think that cos they didn't cost me nothing I should smoke them as they are,

I have put a couple of packs aside for when i'm out and about but aibu to reroll the rest even though they didn't cost me nothing?

what ever you think, but re rolling normal ciggs? isn't it a nightmare, don't they split the rolling paper?

Plus they taste awful.

violethill · 21/08/2010 16:36

You're mad to smoke.

But if you're going to anyway, smoke as they are, re-roll, whatever floats your boat.

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 21/08/2010 16:45

Yeah, you can get two rollies out of a ciggie. :)

alfiethekittycat · 21/08/2010 16:45

The rolling paper doesn't split, I have been breaking up the cigs into a box so it is only tobacco thenrolling them with filters ad ciggie papers.

I'd probably reroll too to save the money I'm rather tight fisted though to be honest Blush My MIL smokes normal while she makes the FIL smoke roll ups he quitting for a second time as they nearly lost the house and need the money but shes refusing to give up her £10 a day habit Angry

Nothing wrong with re-rolling them, just to re-assure you...:-

  1. if you use filters anyway, then they taste just fine
  2. you can, at your leisure, remove the massive great twigs that seem to find their way into duty free fags
  3. You get 400 fags instead of 200

To conclude YANBU Smile

alfiethekittycat · 21/08/2010 17:21

I did smoke normal fags till about 8 years ago when I couldn't justify spending that on myself each week,
I buy cigarette tobacco now, 2 packs cost about 6 quid which lasts me all week, get papers and filters from the puond shop so saving an awful lot.
Its just if I reroll them then they will last me a couple of months,
I guess i'm just feeling a bit shit cos my friends laughed at me, I did tell them to shut it but they seemed to think cos they were free I should just smoke them till they were gone.

Personally, I would find the baccy too dry to roll but then I hate the taste of the tobacco in pre-rolled cigs. And yes, smoking is hideous and stupid etc.

Do whatever you like. YANBU!

2shoes · 21/08/2010 17:25

it won't work as the baccy is different.
but I can understand, smoking a tailor made is like smoking a lamp post

alfiethekittycat · 21/08/2010 17:48

What won't work 2shoes?

piratecat · 21/08/2010 18:16

as long as u like how they have ended up and are saving £££, do it then! Your mum should bring you some baccy next time lol.

my mum lives in spain, thats the only reason i still smoke, as i get her or her dh to bring some baccy over. it's a disgrace how much we have to pay here.

LynetteScavo · 21/08/2010 18:25

Just stop smoking, it's bad for you.

alfiethekittycat · 21/08/2010 18:42

Lots of things are bad for us. Lynette do you never have the odd drink or eat the wrong food?

I do not like normal baccy piratecat I find it too wet and don't like the smell which is why I smoke concept cigarette tobacco as its much drier and more like normal fags only much cheaper.

oh, i never heard of that type, didn't realise that's what you normally smoke.

MaMoTTaT · 21/08/2010 19:06

oh if you like the drier tobacco - do you know any Polish people - or Russian (or that part of the world). I've in the past got 500g (no that's not a typo LOL) of Polish/Russian tobacco - it's much drier than the tobacco you can buy here.....and of course 500g lasts a very long time.........

Floopy21 · 21/08/2010 23:12

As long as you use filters though. There's something like 113 extra chemicals in straights compared with rolling baccy, would be even worse for you than 'normal' smoking if you didn't.
