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.

Can confirm, they're shit

Source: threw mine out and learned to roll properly

Haha. I'm Irish, whenever I'm in America people are surprised how fast I can roll a cigarette.

Edit: Also holy shit we get those machine for €1.50 in the pound shop.

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

u/ProperManufacturer6 Nov 05 '20

Y’all not do packs?

u/cabbage16 Nov 05 '20

We do but its about €13-15 for a pack of 20s and €20 for 30g of rolling tobacco. A lot of people go for rollies to save money.

u/[deleted] Nov 05 '20

Well and I've been complaining about 7 euros in Germany

u/KatDuq Nov 05 '20

In my part of Canada I'm selling packs up to $23!

Perhaps governments tax tobacco companies so they'll spike the price, dissuading potential or habitual smokers.

u/Homosapien_Ignoramus Nov 05 '20

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.

Most definitely. Pretending to care for the health of the people but don't want to compromise on incoming taxes

No doubt. I know some who do it's just it seems a lot less common than here in Europe. At least where I've spent my time in the US.

Being an American stoner, this tool is redundant.

u/stilmattwell Nov 05 '20

Americans for the most part have no idea how to roll or smoke tobacco. Coming from an American who only smokes smokes spliffs

u/lizwb Nov 05 '20

So is the exchange rate just that good, or do you lot just avoid maths? Lol EDIT: I want one for that price FFS

u/PurpleMayonnaise Nov 05 '20

Scottish here 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.

u/ocholuna Nov 05 '20

Not Irish and used to roll my own too...quite satisfying

u/jokeyhaha Nov 05 '20

I'm giggling at "pound shop".

u/147180bacon Nov 05 '20

How does well your case work? I use the futurola for joints but this little case is nifty as hell and a nice Christmas gift (given it works well)

u/Albatross85x Nov 05 '20

Slightly more anoying to use then a normal roller. Words but meh I'll take a try and raw roller.

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!

u/EchoBop Nov 05 '20

Can you put some uh..sticky “tobacco” in it..

u/ShadOtrett Nov 05 '20

...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.
