These old cigarette commercials are hilarious. Virginia Slims: "You've got your own cigarette now baby- you've come a long long way"
Any smokers here? Are you tired of paying $8, 9, 10 dollars + per Pack? A pack a day at $10/pack is $300/ month or $3,600 per year.
You can roll your own cigarettes with the best ORGANIC tobacco in the world for $1.00 PER PACK or less. That's $30 per month instead of $300.- a savings of $270 per month. That really adds up after a few months. Save even more with non organic tobacco leaf.
A $21.00 pound of Organic Tobacco leaves makes between 2 to 2 1/4 cartons. Say 420 cigarettes. 420 cigarettes = 2 cartons and one pack, or 21 packs. 21 packs for $21.00 = $1.00 per pack- for the finest USDA Certified Organic smokes available. A tenth or less of the price of regular cigarettes with additives and grown with pesticides.
Here's the loophole:
There Is No Federal Tax On Whole Leaf Tobacco. Leaf tobacco is not technically a tobacco product, nor is it processed tobacco. It is a raw agricultural commodity with stem and whole leaf in-tact, and is therefore not taxable as roll-your-own, pipe, or otherwise.
Buy the leaf, cut or shred it, stuff a tube and you have a home made cigarette that costs FIVE Cents or less, vs. FIFTY Cents or more.
Make your own blends with Organic Burley and Canadian, or even authentic Saint James Parish Perique. (Perique is $60-70 per pound-it's rare, but special!)
Exceptionally rare, 100% genuine whole leaf Saint James perique tobacco. Grown and cured by a small farm in rural Saint James Parish that has been producing high quality barrel-cured perique tobacco for generations.
You can find tobacco leaf on the net. The going rate is about $110-120 per 5 pounds ORGANIC plus shipping. Non organic can be had for $75-$90 per 5 pounds. I can personally recommend this company Leaf Only. They ship what you order fast and you get a tracking number. Leaf Only has been importing tobacco products since 2010, and has a Federal Tobacco Products Import License issued by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.

I smoked cigarettes for 21 years. From age 21 to age 42.
Now? I will never touch tobacco again.
I'm overjoyed to learn that you managed to quit doing something that you didn't want to do.
I find it totally disgusting and repugnant.
Yet you clicked on a thread with cigarettes in the title. Hmmmm...
I've quit a few times. But I probably won't quit again, because I enjoy it. And I've somehow learned to limit consumption. And Organic Tobacco doesn't leave 1/4 inch of tar residue in the bottom of ashtrays, like regular store bought cigarettes do. That filth is collecting in people's lungs.
I thought sharing a tip on how other people that still enjoy smoking tobacco and haven't quit can save up to 90% of whatever they are spending on it. It's a tough economy, isn't it.
By the way, how would you like it if I stumbled into one of your various food threads and explained to the forum members how glad I was to finally have quit eating meat and how much better I feel without all the growth hormones and chemicals that are force fed to cows and chickens?
I will never touch meat again, believe me.
I find it TOTALLY DISGUSTING and REPUGNANT.
Please start up a weekend thread on Steaks or Fried Chicken, so I can pipe in. TIA
My father smoked menthol cigarettes for 60 years. From age 15 to age 75 - when he underwent a quadruple heart bypass operation. He didn't smoke after that - because he physically could not.
But he did live to age 89 - 3 1/2 months short of 90.
But during that last decade of his life - he had COPD/emphysema/lung cancer. In agony - struggling to breath. Is that the way you want to go? Give it serious thought.
