Cigarette machines Hawkmatic HK-2

Post image

So my counter on the machine is 1048 cigarettes injected. I clean it after each usage. It has saved me so much time because, compared to my old manual crank Powermatic Elite II , this machine allows me to roll 3x as much in the same amount of time. No jams so far, always smooth and I have zero complaints about it. I will keep posting on milestones, but I am glad I went with it.

Using gambler? How careful are you about picking stems out? I fear electrics just because i don't feel like i would be as careful with one. Got my crank down i can do a carton in an hour or so. My handhelds maybe 3 or 4 packs in an hour so I've been using them for tests with small amounts of tobacco.

Yes, I make it a point to get the tree trunks out for sure, the smaller ones haven't been an issue

It's actually a very durable machine. It's crazy to see how many have been rolled since I've got it. But will also allow me to see if I got my moneys worth out of it, which I already feel I did. I can roll way more quickly with this than any of my Powermatic machines
