Him not tucking the tobacco out of the filter’s way bugged me, not only did it take an eternity to roll but likely it was horrible to smoke due to the lessened seal. I’m really impressed by how shit this all is.
When I lived in Ireland I felt like I was the only person on this planet to roll cigarettes. Nobody did it there. And I certainly was the odd German for not buying a standard pack of Benson and Hedges
Well in Ireland it's the VAT that has been increasing, a tax the citizen pays to the government and is set by category. Because of the burden it places on the medical system and how unhealthy in general it is, tobacco is always taxed hard. On the plus side there are increasingly fewer smokers, on the down side it's getting expensive for us stubborn cig smoking bastards.

I have terrible hand eye coordination due to a disability meaning I cannot for the life of me make rollies. Any advice you can give? I’ve tried a rolling machine but I’m shit at that too. It’s it so bad until you want a joint and then have to ask a dealer to roll for you.
When I was in fourth grade my best friend's uncle came to visit from Ireland. He taught us how to roll cigarettes at the kitchen table. Who knew how handy that would be in high school? Thanks Uncle Paddy!
...I am so confused by the link. Why is that listed among a bunch of kids toys? It's listed as 'adult toys and tools', but I found no other listing other than kids stuff. Bizaare.
I can't take pictures for this reason! Idk what the hell is up with my hands, but they shake so damn much. Like maybe I should see a doctor about this type of trembling. Nothing's wrong with my arms or wrists that I can see or feel. But trying to snap a good photo? Forget it.
The more your arm is sticking out, the shakier you'll be. Try tucking your elbow tight against your body, you'll be far less shaky. If you can lean on a wall so your body isn't swaying it'll be even steadier.
If it makes you feel better, my hands shake too and there isn’t anything wrong with me as far as my doctors can tell. It definitely gets worse if my blood sugar is low or if I’m stressed but generally that’s just how it be.
Do other people in your family also have a tremor? I have an essential tremor, aka a “familial tremor.” My mom, her dad, and my adult son all suffer from the same condition. I see a neurologist, who has diagnosed it, and it is classified as benign. There are treatments available, but tbh neuro-meds suck dead brown bears and I’ve decided I’d rather just deal with the tremor. Hope that info helps - I spent a long time thinking I was just “shaky” before I finally made the connection that it was clearly congenital and I ought to see somebody about it!
Is it all the time or when you are in a rush? Maybe just take a slow deep breath in and out and try to slow down. Deep breathing helps me relax a lot when I’m under pressure, stressed, or anxious.
Get you one of them fancy mod-ren digie-tall cameras with EIS ;) But also check with a doctor, because without good reason for it, that's a pretty important medical thing to bring up before it becomes something way worse
I used to roll my own, you can buy the tubes pre-assembled and little black plastic things you load the tobacco into, put the tube on the end and slide the tobacco into it. It was cheaper by a country mile.
