RYO, Roll your own Tobacco, Roll your own cigarettes, Uptown Cigar Co. 877-238-1172
IT'S
TIME TO START ROLLING YOUR OWN CIGARETTES!
To
get started rolling your own cigarettes, you'll
need to decide if
you want to 'Roll Your Own'
with papers or 'Make Your Own' with tubes.
Tubes always come with a filter and are always
the same thickness. If
you roll with papers, you have the option of rolling
with or without a filter,
as well as deciding how much tobacco to use. The diagrams will
show
you how to get started.
If you choose the
'Roll Your Own' route, you'll need to decide how long
you want your
cigarettes to be,
what kind of paper you like and whether
or not you want to use filters.
We offer
hand-rolling machines in
70mm, 78mm or 100mm, bags or boxes of 200 filters
and a wide
assortment
of papers. 70mm machines will fit single width or 1 1/4
papers,
78mm
will fit 1 1/2 papers and the 100mm machines will fit extra large
papers.
If you choose to 'Make Your Own' cigarettes, you will need tubes and an
injector. Tubes are
available from a number of manufacturers and come
in
both standard king size and 100mm lengths.
There are quite a few
styles of
injectors on the market ranging from single king size cigarette makers
to high-end table top models. If you want to switch back
and forth
between king size and 100mm
cigarettes, the Zig Zag tube injector will
make
both with the press of a button! If you want to make
enough
cigarettes for a day or two in one sitting, the
Premier tube injector will do two at once to save
you time. The table
top models are great for people who have trouble manipulating small
machines.
Choosing a tobacco is the most important part of the process.
There
are many to pick from, and
you need to find the one that suits your
strength preference. Some tobaccos are chemical free like
American
Spirit, and some are almost so fresh that you need to let them sit for
a day or two before
you can roll it like the Stokkebye. If you don't
smoke all that much, then a pouch is your best option
so it doesn't dry
out. If you smoke more than a pack a day, then larger cans are
more
cost effective.
If you are new to RYO, it is important
to try a few blends, so you know what you like and why.
