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.

Before the e cigs rolling seems to have been the way to smoke on the cheap but it is a lot of work it seems (I am not a smoker) but now I am seeing e cigs everywhere.
I'm all for people testing the long term consequences of smoking whatever e-cig smokers are smoking. It's like the people that scarf down GMO food. No one knows what will happen in 30, 40 or 50 years, but they're willing to be guinea pigs and test it out for the rest of us.
I won't be joining in though, I will always prefer real natural organic tobacco. And I sometimes feel sorry for those that will never experience the joy of a good organic smoke with a cup of steaming black coffee.
I smoked cigarettes for 21 years - age 21 to 42. Then - after trying to quit several times - I went cold turkey.
Sat in the basement in nicotine withdrawal for months - just sitting down there in an old desk chair - shivering. After going though that, I'm NEVER going to touch nicotine in any form ever again. EVER. Glad I'm free of it.
