My wife smokes, she has smoked Kools since before I met her. We were married 40 years on March 26th this year.
I bought her an e-cigarette recently but thus far she does not like it. Was hoping it would be the thing to get her off the real thing. Her flavor is about $55 per carton here. That sucks.
Next time ya’ll are in NC...
Find a tobacco store buy a TOP O MATIC (or GAMBLER) machine.If you buy the $35 dollar one IT BREAKS.The $50 machine LASTS.
Buy TOPS cigarette TUBES (the machine makes them 100’s or regular in length) and buy the LIGHT or FULL flavor tubes Cigar TAHOE tobacco the cigar tobacco is just the same.You can get MINT tobacco for menthol. The machine is so EASY it takes a minute to produce one cigarette.
NOW DELETE THIS MESSAGE BEFORE ODUMBO TAXES MY FLATULANCE AND Tobacco.
Buy her a Gambler ‘make your own’ starter kit at a smoke shop.
Don’t buy her the cheapest tobacco and filtered tubes. Most ‘Pipe’ tobacco is cut the same as cigarette tobacco but sells for a about an eighth as much- taxes. I once bought ‘Farmer’s Gold’ menthol by accident and it was very similar to Kool. It may take 2 or 3 tries to find a brand she loves.
The savings is 80 to 90% and they DO taste better.
Been stuffing my own for a year now and am very pleased.
Takes less than a half-hour to make a pack.
Oh, and beginners usually over-sruff their cigarettes at first- making them hard to draw, but after a few days you get the knack.
