Ten years ago I spent $30 on a crank roller. Since then I've paid roughly $15 for 2 cartons of cigarettes when I want them. A bag of tobacco runs about $12 and 2 boxes of 100 tubes about $3.
The trouble comes at the last fifth of the bag. It dries out due to the regular opening & doesn't roll well. The solution is obvious; add hydration. Don't be stupid (me), it only takes less than a teaspoon of water to rehydrate as much as 30 ounces of leftovers. Now my dumb ass has to wait at least a day for it to dry out because I dumped in 2 tablespoons of water.
Who the fuck is still reading this? The last I heard the only people who smoke are deadbeat dads who need an excuse to walk out. And here I am with a cigarette hanging out of the side of my paper face mask. Karen's giving me side eye but I can't tell if it's because of the smoke or mustard stain on my shirt. My ex is nagging about alimony for the dogs vet bills while I'm just trying to buy a petty girl a drink with the hope that she might talk to me like a human being.
If you over hydrate your tobacco it takes about 2 days in open air to get it back to a rollable state. The best route is to apply the water to either a paper towel or tissue & seal or in a bag for 15 - 20 minutes. Then you might avoid this entire mess.
