Hi,
I just started to get into rolling tobacco because of the price increase for ciggs in NY. I wanted to know what brand sold in stores would be comparable to Marlboro Ultra lights? I'm also looking to buy this rolling machine called Premier Quick Fill Hand Injector, I chose it because I smoke 100's, if anyone has used this machine if you could tell me if it works well I would appreciate that too. Thanks!  |

Pamela, welcome to the forum,
I don't know about the Marlboro taste match. When I started I used to smoke Monarch's [Generic Winston's] I just got used to a different taste.
For me, I experimented with different tobacco's and tubes [tube choice will make a flavor difference too]
If you smoke more than a few cigarettes a day I would suggest buying a large injector - you will tire and get frustrated with the hand injectors.
Check out this site:http://www.ryomagazine.com/injectors.htm
There are Supermatic injectors that will shoot 100's. Costs range from $50-$70 for the machine.
You'll get that money back within a few cartons, in NY I bet the cost would even out within a few packs. |

| Yes, I choose that HH because it's cheap and I'm new to this so I want to see if it's for me. I do smoke a pack a day so I see what you mean about it prehaps taking a while to make them so if this all works out I probably would buy the machine you are talking about. I have read that Windsail lights are a good choice alternative to Marlboro Ultra Lights, i was thinking about getting that tobacco with a light tube filter. People talk about the Vanguer (spell?) as well but they say Vanguer is a better choice if you smoke lights or above because it's stronger and Windsail is a more mild tobacco. Unless there is a cheaper brand alternative to Windsail anyone knows of that's like Marlboros I will probably end up getting a sample size of that one to try. |

| If I were you I would try the regular windsail with light filters first. Windsail is a very light tobacco. Windsail is what I smoke almost exclusively. I always smoked Light 100's and found that windsail with a regular filter was perfect for me. |

Windsail Light is a PHENOMENAL tobacco, being a British Virginia and probably my absolute favorite Virginia. I've no idea how close it would come to a Marlboro light, however.

The Venguer also comes in a light version and Marlboro Light smokers LOVE it, saying it is a better Marlboro Light than Marlboro Lights themselves are. |

Hello!
I just joined your group and have recently switched from buying cigarettes to making my own. Thanks to the advice of those posting on this forum, I ordered a variety of light tobacco from D&R and was quite impressed with Windsail Light.
Thanks to everyone here who pointed in the right direction!

D&R Tobacco is getting out of the RYO tobacco category and will be sold out very soon.
Another site to check out is Custom Blends, they have brand name comparison tobacco to for easy match-ups

For what its worth, I was also a Marlboro smoker - and tried a sample of D&R brands - and their
'Rowland' brand is the one that has weeded me off Marlboro's completely, the Venguer is 'kind of'
tolerable, but Rowland for me was/is the perfect alternative to Marlboro. Never had any urge to
go back to store-bought after I tried it. |

I hope you stocked up then for I believe D&R is no longer going to sell cigarette tobacco thanks to the new federal extortion. |
