One More Post FOR Smokers......
I roll my own (sung to the tune of "I Drink Alone")

"I roll my own,(dah dah,da,dah)
with tobacco and tubes(dah da,da,dah)
Oh you know when you don't,
you are overtaxed rubes (dah,da,da,da,da,Dumb)"

Started two weeks back....start cost a $10 dollar machine,$3 for 200 filter tubes,and $7 for 6oz of tobacco....got an honest 9+ packs.Shifted to $15 lb of mentholated tobacco and am now somewhere south of $10 a carton.This in a state where Marlboro's cost $38 a carton and the cheapest generics are over $20.
...Being a two plus a pack a day guy I'll roll mine during the evening news. Do the math...Flavor is fine though the last 1/4 inch of the tube will empty unless kept upright in the pack (filter down).
...Quitting would obviously be better,but if you smoke over a pack a day the break even is under two weeks. Best of luck in these tough economic times...any questions?
