> [@redtail23](#): > > For anyone who can hand-roll, I challenge you to hand-roll a cigarette with a filter. So far I’ve not found anyone who can do it. Huh? If anything, I always found rolling with a filter easier, since that way, you can just ‘roll along’ the filter… You’re talking about things [like these](http://www.head-shop.biz/bilder/produkte/gross/2337_1.jpg), right? ---

also once when i was like 15 my over aged girlfriend was trying to roll a cigarette, it was sad. So my super religious square of a mother comes into my room goes, "i can do that for you and in a minute or two had rolled 5 perfect cigarettes. It was… odd. Upended my young worldview. ---

I’m with you - I’ve seen the cardboard roach done before, but most guys I know who roll their own have a pack of Swan filters which they just pop on one end of the paper before they roll it up. I’ve tried rolling before when my friend was too drunk to do it herself, and it seemed fairly easy. I don’t smoke, though, so I never know how much tobacco to put in. ---

When I was a kid the guy down the road used to roll his own, and he only had one hand. Watching him roll one was like watching a magic act. His dog only had 3 legs. ---

The last dedicated to MYO ( injection machines ) having died recently, a new sight sprung up at [rollyourownresource.com](http://rollyourownresource.com) Even if you hand role there is lots of information about tobacco’s that are available. The tax situation has left most of the good tobacco’s re-branded as “Pipe” but they still work. Bull Durham for example makes pipe tobacco now. I’ve never had it and can’t say if it hand rolls well. It will inject well. Meflin Smoking a Peter Stokkebye Late Harvest right now. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/does-anybody-roll-their-own-cigarettes/589326.md?page=2)
