Title: The tobacco smokers thread
Post by: robomont on May 08, 2013, 08:07:21 am
yea its in the food and drink section.
im doing a pole of tobacco smokers on here.
im really getting tired of my tobacco dealers on the net.

if any of you roll your own cigs and order pipe tobacco by the pound .
please speak up and maybe we can all save money.

right now im getting two pounds per month of crisscross for 39$ shipped to my house.thats seven cartons a month.

the problem im having is with tracking and not shipping on the date they say.

DO YOU HAVE A RELIABLE NET DEALER ?
please let me know.

this thread is open to all tobacco smoking subjects.

dear z .if this thread is inappropiate or in the wrong place .do your duty.

I have a weakness for expensive cigars, which I rarely indulge. Tried the RYO thing. Best to get your baccy from a local supplier. Native Americans are a good source. Any res' nearby? They usually have a smoke shop.

I found about 5 cigar dealers online when i was looking for cheroots (a weakness of mine). Sorry i don't have the links anymore but a quick G**gle search will give plenty of results.

I even get my Liqourice Papers shipped out from england ::)

me and my wife smoke two lbs. and about a half lbs.of wacky tobaccy every month.

the companies on the net are simireliable.
order on thursday ship on monday bs.im lookin for a company that ships the day i order ,only ups,and provides a email tracking number.none of the major companies on the net can do all three.most can barely do two out of the three.
i dont expect perfection but it would be nice.
i try not to use post office as my post lady is lazy and nuts.

Do you use pipe tobacco? Who have you been ordering from?

For pipe, http://www.cupojoes.com/ is fast. I always got my order within a week. They have the best brands.

Hey robo,

Roll my own for over 25 years now, much better for the flavor for sure, also saves big time in the money pouch as well!! ;)

My Tobaccy of choice is Rouseco-Golden Harvest-All American Made

I am getting it currently from my local Smoke shop for $11.50 for 12oz bags, resealable, and they have a lot of flavors to choose from, never have ordered it by mail, so would require you to do a bit of foot work for those answers.

Website Link:
Rouseco-Eight generations of Tobacco manufacturing (http://www.rousecoinc.com/products.html)

May be of some interest.

"Smoke'em if you got'em!!!" LOL :P

Must be something in the baccy, for sure!

I gave up about a year ago  ;D
Switched to an E-Cig and then lowered the Nicotine content to nothing..... no Patches/Pills etc.
Best thing i ever did!  ;)

Heck you guys and gals don't even want to know what it cost's in Oz  :o

Say for example what 1WW pays for 12oz would not even cover the cost of Gov Tax in Oz for a pack of twenty five tailors !

Seeing that latest pic of John Lear smoking a Cigar is like looking at a millionaire to an aussie  :D

yea tobacco use to be 15dollars.then uncle sam and the states added fifteen dollars tax.now the local tobacco store wants 38$ a pound.
by buying across state line there is no tax.its the interstate commerce clause.so for me .by buying on the phone and having it shipped across the state line.i save 38$.
50% savings.

you know diesel exaust is the most cancerous product we are regularly around.
the tobacco tax is a scam.most ciggarette butts in the old days were made of fiberglass and asbestos.the new butts are made from pine trees.i met the inventor.he worked for eastman in kingsport tennessee.
eastman kodak has been making filters for years now and the rate of lung cancer is going down fast.but yet the amount of smokers has stayed the same.
the new diseases like copd are probably caused by the new firesafe chemicals they put on the tube paper.
the tubes i buy arent firesafe.
i even reroll my cigs when i have to buy a pack.
roll your own are the best ciggs there are.

Just saw this.  How's the baccy rolling, robo?

I get 16 oz of Red River pipe stuff for $20 - & it comes with tubes or - since I don't want fiberglass - papers free.

Anyway... Slow night at the Moon.

Well... With no bank account, credit card, or paypal...  No way for Me personally to purchase anything mail order/online.  [smile]

Would love to try Crisscross...  [smile]

Red River is good enough for Me.  It offers nicotine.  That's what I want.  So...  LOL!

I had to laugh when you mentiond that...I work in a gold mine and cigarrette smoking is banned underground. You can't smoke a cigarrette but you CAN have a 750HP Cummins diesel engine screaming at full load all day long and work in the same confined area as it no problem.  Multiply that by about 30 more machines underground. Sorry to get off topic.

i dont mind this topic being a litle off.i hope it would encompass all aspects.as a high voltage substation builder.let me tell you that your risk of a spark is high after the substation is about five years old.the reason is the hv cables inside the box are dialectrically breaking down.basically the insulation is turning to powder and cracking.when the mine doesnt have the boxes rebuilt regularly because they are trying to save money on maintenance.thats where a high risk is for explosion from methane or coaldust.just a heads up.

My dad worked as the fireman in the coal mines in the 30's and 40's.  The human equivalent of a canary in a coal mine.

As for tobacco,  I quit five years ago.   Still have some cravings, but trying to focus on being healthy.   And pot just never did anything for me.

i found iranian tobacco seeds and grew them.hardiest tobacco ive ever grown and almost smells like fruity pot.
ive got two year old plants that withstood the winter and kept on growing.best tasting reasonably strong.equal to marlboro but better smelling.
