What It Costs to Roll Your Own

You can buy 12.5 pounds of blended strips of unmanufactured tobacco for $220. From this, you can make 30 cartons of cigarettes. Tubes with filters cost $3.50 per box. For 30 cartons, the ingredients cost $325, or $10.83 per carton.

You use a shredder to turn the unmanufactured blended strips into tobacco. You use a small tabletop electronic machine to fill the empty tubes with tobacco. People usually make a pack in several minutes.
