I also recommend the Stokkebye’s tobacco. It’s damp when you first open the can. I take a little out and let it dry a bit over night, but try to keep some moisture in it before I pack it. Any other tobacco can be moistened by adding a teaspoon of water (sometimes a tablespoon or 5 in the case of american spirit) to your can of tobacco. Don’t get it too wet or it will mold and stick to your can.

Here is my cost add up:

I get almost 3 cartons from a can of stokkebye’s

1 can of stokkebye danish export (I do like the london export too) @ $17.50
3 cartons of zig zag tubes (rizla tubes are nice too) @ $1.99 each

Comes to $.80 a pack
if i get 2.5 cartons from a can that’s $.90 a pack
Take that you taxing government bastards!

The smokes taste way better than anything i’ve bought in the store (aside from Nat Sherman’s). Plus the stokkebye is pure leaf (I see 1 birdseye in about every 3-4 cans) and has absolutely no additives or fillers. I cannot smoke a camel or marlboro any more, they taste like some kind of buring plastic. I like the zig zag and rizlas because they have very little flavor unlike the buglers, gamblers and other brands. Most of those taste like i rolled my cig with a paper grocery bag. As to tobacco, I honestly recommend staying away from the american spirit because it is so dry when you get it and trying to rehydrate it is a lot of work.

I guarentee that anyone the tries the varieties of stokkebye will find one that they like and will never smoke another tobacco again with any kind of pleasure. I would start with the danish or london exports becuase the other kinds get darker and harsher from there. Just like beer though, some like light some like dark. I also recommend looking online for good stokkebye deals, or asking your tobacconist to order some for you.

I have to say too that there is an extreme difference between cigars (filtered or not) and cigarettes Vincent. If I smoke a cigar i get tary lingering aftertaste, and I still want a cigarette. Its a bit a shock to most smokers to switch from cigarettes to cigars. I put cigars on the same level as cloves, nice once in a while, but if i smoke too many, it kills my tastebuds for about a week. Plus you are not supposed to inhale a good cigar, so putting a filter on one is a little silly. It’s about quality really, I pack to save money, but I also get a much better smoke that anything else in the world of cigarettes. Filtered cigars are not exactly the the creme of the crop of cigars and you still pay way more than I.

I agree, with miller, who are you anti smokers to tell me how to live or die. As soon as everyone else stops running automobile and using electricity I will give up smoking. I would say my car and coal fired generated put off way more contaminants and pollutants than my 10 cigaretts a day.

Sorry for my long rant, but i really love my tobacco and i love my supermatic. It took me years to figure most of this stuff out, so hopefully it helps someone else out.

20 to the pack.

Buy one pack, get one free (that’s the only way they’re sold.)

US$1.58 for the twin pack, which includes the 6% sales tax here in Lancaster PA. Seventy-nine-cents-a-pack!

Haven’t smoked anything but in about 5 years.

Alpaca Marble Red Boxes are about US$4.35

Ridiculous!

I thought he said Librarian fetish; that’ll kill you so fast as hell….

I advise familiarizing yourself with libertarianism before making comments like this. You sound like an ignorant boob.

Guys like bad puns.

You basically said “Don’t preach”, sounds like “pipe down” to me.

And good job getting shut out by a female on a for-males site.

And I’m really, really sorry for being a girl. Thanks for putting me in my place :)
