Rolling pipe tobacco like a cigarette

When I started smoking cigarettes when I was 15 I rolled my own using American Spirit or Bali Shag (I've attributed my preference to stronger tobaccos ever since because of this). Although I don't smoke cigarettes anymore, I considered myself a cigarette rolling pro and from time to time would roll up pipe tobacco that I came across. If it's not too wet, it works fine if you can roll a good cigarette. When I smoked cigarettes, I stopped rolling my own after a point - but still, I'll roll the best damn cigarette you've ever seen.

I put down pipes and pick them up a day later all the time. I would reccomend just smoking it for a minute during your break and then putting in your pocket and saving the rest of the bowl for later. Theres nothing like walking inside with a smoldering pipe in your pocket, I feel like its the only time I ever get to smoke inside anymore.

I've tried rolling pipe tobacco like a cigarette and it works pretty well. I'm really bad at hand rolling, so I use a cigarette rolling machine. Even though the tobacco is shredded thicker than cigarette tobacco, it works pretty well in the machine.

I bought a zig zag pack the other day ( cause of my age the cashier just gave a funny look , she must have thought it was for something else haha) and made a few cigarrettes with the Night Cap tobacco.

The first one was not good, looked a lot like a joint. The last 2 were better. it was a little difficult to roll but it came out ok. It smoked ok. But something i noticed was that it seemed that since the tobacco was very moist it was releasing moisture or juices and the paper was getting stained. It didnt look very appealing cause it was getting a black/wet look, but i said what the hell it tastes ok . Anyway i prefer to smoke it in my pipe, but it might be a good substitute for a short smoke.

Look for 4 Aces Pipe tobacco if you like cigarettes. Just like all the roll your own cigarette tobacco, but not 50.00 a lb. I got one lb bags for just $14.29. Did a little research and only 2.38 tax on it comapared to 24.75 tax on roll your own now. Someone in congress must be a pipe smoker. This is cut just like roll your own, and rolls just like it too.

Let the baccy dry out some and shred it with your fingers or a grinder. Crimp cut tobaccos work the best. Prince Albert makes a good cigarette. I get "Kentucky Gold Bold" pipe tobacco by the pound from Pipes and Cigars and roll packs of cigs in an injector machine. A carton's worth works out to around $15 including cost of rolling tubes.

My 4 Aces is comming out to around $7.00 to $9.00 a carton rolling it as cigarettes. That figures in the $2.00 worth of Top papers and a little hand roller. I roll one at a time, and don't smoke as much. Only problem is rolling while driving looks a lot like texting while driving. They got a new law here about that to give cops extra reasons to pull you over.

Top has an adjustable hand roller now to roll skinny cigs.

Actually 4 Aces is pretty good in a pipe too even though it's just repackaged cigarette tobacco. It has a light burley flavor, (or at least my bag did). I paid $6.09 for a 6 oz bag. Golden Harvest Robust Blend is about the same and about the same price too. Stay away from the blackberry blend. It didn't bite me but the blackberry taste is so strong that's all I could taste for hours after a bowl.

Several of the old time brands were made to be smoked in a cigarette too. Prince Albert, SWR, Velvet, etc. They even came with their own rolling papers at one time. The PA is stronger than regular cigarette tobacco but very smooth.

Before i got my pipe I had a few baccy's and wanted to try them. I thought they tasted great out of a cig and burned just fine. One was even a flake tobacco and it burned well. give it a try. As long as your good at rolling you should have no problems.

I just imagined rolling a flake tobacco into a cigar.

[Mad Hatter]

I tried this idea and it would be really handy for a short smoke but in my experience the tobacco releases too much moisture to make an enjoyable smoke.

When I want to carry a packed pipe for later I usually wrap the bowl with foil, I suppose you could do the same and re-use.

Line your pocket with tinfoil ... hmm, I might actually try this myself...

The tinfoil will keep your pocket from getting a hole burnt into it if the pipe is still glowing. I'm on to something here.

Back when you used to be able to smoke in public (god if feel my grandpa, saying that) we would roll pipe tobacco up using a zigzag rolling machine and take them to the local restaurant/hangout that had a smoking section, but specifically prohibited pipes and cigars. It was good enough for us at the time.

I just found that old rolling machine about a month ago while I was cleaning out some old drawers, I almost threw it away, but saved it for some reason. Perhaps I'll give it a try with some Altidas aeros I have lying around.
