Tobacco users Turn to a Smoke free Tobacco Alternative

Why would anyone go to the effort to make their own cigarettes? While i can only answer personally the reasons are several. Coming from a low-country town in Carolina, I can still very well remember the sweet and pungent aromas of the tobacco auction season and the myriad sights and sounds that accompanied the auctioneer and buyers as they walked among the beautiful rows of golden leaves.

Due to my age, I can also recall sitting in the company of many others as they instructed me in exactly how many leaves to grasp by their stems while then wrapping another round top to produce a hand of tobacco. My father, being from upstate New york where propane was useful for many purposes, owned a propane gas company and very afterwards invented the system that inaugurated the move from wood to propane in flue curing bright tobacco. Those many aromas and the bustle of the auction season still lingers with me as Chance back on the many sensory delights of fine tobacco just out on the curing barns.

Maybe from that direct exposure I was exposed to an appreciation of what tobaccos SHOULD smell like. In fact, I even remember watching once as I used to be given a lecture relating to the differences between our fine Carolina brights versus those “other” tobaccos that were left in the land. the burleys of the up-country. To even further educate me, I was once given a demonstration of how burley was soaked in the solution of sugar, salt and water, wrung out, shaken, and then converted to a twist for dehydrating. Back then chewing tobacco was whether or not similar twist or a plug, not the subtle stuff of today’s highly cased bags.

Years later, when Employed grown, I was already familiar with many of the “store bought” cigarettes that rarely had filters. Lucky Strikes, Home Run, Camels, Chesterfield, Phillip Morris and others. Eventually, the American taste turned to filtered cigarettes and professional compensation of intense toasted flavors and Turkish blends. However, as cigarette tobaccos were more and more enhanced with additives better transportation and communications led to the growth of international blends in pipe tobaccos where Balkan, Turkish, and English blends led to a plethora of pipe shops and a rapid growth in new blends, cuts, and flavours.

Maybe it is a personal recollection as many belonging to the older ways seem better, but it seems that in now having so many options among cigarettes today, much of the flavor and aroma has history. With the hundreds of additives the standard, are we using tobacco or some lesser grade tobacco and myriad additives and preservatives?

When I first deemed Roll Your Own cigarettes my thoughts were in the old men I which are used to see who fascinated me with their dexterity though they hand rolled a smoke from one of numerous over the counter varieties found in many groceries and pharmacies. For myself, this meant something that inevitably leave you along with a mouth full of bitter shreds and a smoke that was dry, harsh, and packed the subtlety of a mule start.

However, after a moment of exploration on the web I soon found right now there were indeed alternatives. Seeing in RYO Magazine so a quick call to D&R in Smithfield, North Carolina, I was soon eagerly awaiting a shipment of an injector, some filter tubes and a wide associated with blends. Upon their arrival, my wife and I spent a few days sampling and experimenting.

I am now glad to say that had been both thrilled with our purchases and what we since experienced. Now, the house no longer has that foul reek of inferior tobaccos, in fact, the actual blends actually are more a fragrance than what previously was more that foul stench of stale cheap tobaccos. Too, has got both rediscovered the overwhelmingly pleasant taste and aroma of great tobaccos. However one totally unanticipated side benefit is that but today smoke far fewer cigarettes as the wonderful D&R and other blends are infinitely more satisfying. Even more, there is no longer that coughing and congestion that used to accompany each morning’s waking.

Today, we have come a long way, as we now experiment with all of our blending and have studied the many varietals, variations, and characteristics. For general smoking there is a mild blend, but sometimes there is the enjoyment of the best Turkish blend or a dessert blend with just slightly of Latakia. Sometimes a sweet smoke and solutions on times more of an English blend. The fun part is that along with own custom made cigarettes we now have the chance to enjoy the highest quality in an incredible involving styles. Sometimes a thin, rolled smoke, other times a thicker injected smoke, with NO additives.

When we once tried the premium brand of pre-made commercial cigarettes, both of us looked at one another with a grin. No taste, no flavor, a horrible bitter residual, and that all those too familiar stench uphill. As though an interesting spin on an old commercial, we are now smoking far less, but enjoying it so much more!
