I've seen the cigarette tubes with filters built in. You use a little machine to pack them with tobacco. Pretty easy, though you want to be sure not to over pack it. Always wanted to try that with the wacky tobaccy....

I used a JOB roller to roll my *ahem* tobaccy cigarettes. Never could roll them by hand well.
I liked the longer papers and accompanying roller.

Roll em by hand. Offset the paper a bit so your rolly ends up with a little cone shape. Takes some practice but makes em nice. Machines are nice but you'll be picking tobacco bits off your tongue.

If you have to use a machine this is the best one I used.

I have the supermatic machine to fill the paper tubes with filters.  A little pricey but well worth it.

When I roll my left handers, thats what I use too. I used to use the ez wider 1 1/4 or 1/2 back in the day when I needed a fattie. Now that would just send me to the refrigerator and then bed!

In my youth --"Zig Zag" comes to mind--I can't remember too clearly
but I think these were papers for medicinal purposes.

I'm a quitter.  I no longer smoke, but, I can recommend the finest hand rolling tobacco you can get.  It's called Bali Shag.

If your going to smoke your life away, at least enjoy it.

You don't need no stinkin' machine! Just takes a little practice, roll 20-30 and you'll get the hang of it. Use the larger papers, it's easier [1.5's]
I don't smoke much anymore but can still roll a good one!

Gambler tube cut, zig zag tubes and the topomatic machine. Had the premier but it broke after a few months, top has been working for a year now. They are pretty much the same machine except premier Has more plastic parts.

Machine, I don't need no stinking machine.

I used to be able to roll one while driving with my knees. 

As long as I had the "Tobacco" properly prepared before the trip.

WOW man, i mean geeze guys....    roll the bloody things with your hands, mine look like they came out of a packet and only take about 3-5 seconds max to roll....

Mick, you're smoother than me, bud! Mine always look goofy if I dont use a dollar bill or roller...

[Retro Rocket]

The trick is to prepare your tobacco first, roughly sort the tobacco on the paper so it is almost uniformed in the paper and then its just a roll up , back, up, lick and seal....   I once new an old guy that could roll with his left hand while riding a horse.....we have it easy....

Can you still get Esmiralda/Ismiralda papers? One will last alllllllll day !! I remember once when I licked 4 together for a 1oz smoke for Led Zeppelin at the St Louis Arena back in 75 maybe?

[vanillagorilla]

One time a friend of mine stuck 16 zig zags together and rolled a 2 ouncer.  Then we all pitched in and bought it for an old stoner next door. He smoked on that same spliff for a good two weeks!

Friend of mine from Australia sent me a machine like this.... held the paper and tobacco in the machine and was worth around 15 smokes once rolled....

I loved the process of rolling a smoke... it made it deliberate.... so the act of smoking was intentional rather then habitual....  Found I smoked far less when I rolled my own....  but ultimately it was simply another habitual process I came to enjoy........  Just had to put it down...  ( but I miss that mess sometimes )

My dad had a neighbor when he was little that would roll them one handed because he lost one in WWI.  He really needed his smoke.
