Hello everyone! Wow...it looks like a lot has been going on around here; it'll take me a while to get caught up! It sure is good to be back home after much traveling anyways!
Well, I finally made the switch to MYO and could not be happier. After doing a bit of research I bought a Premier Supermatic, a selection of tubes and 3 different blends from cigarettetobacco.com
Their service was excellent and shipping was fast. I bought Vengeur Light, Windsail Light, And Ramback Gold. It's a tie between the Ramback Gold and Windsale. They both taste excellent and are very smooth. I love the Turkish taste of the Ramback Gold and will try the pure Turkish Ramback next. High quality smoke indeed.
As for tubes, I like the Vera Cruz, and Ramback tubes the best. The Premier lights and Zig Zag lights are also very good.
I got the hang of using the Supermatic pretty much right away; it's much easier then I expected. The crank can be a bit hard to push though. In all, I'm very happy with it and only regret not switching to MYO much, much sooner. |

Good Man!! Another one added to the ranks of we who say, "Screw the government"!! That's what I use-the supermatic, and usually, the premier lights papers/tubes. I had much trial and error when I first started, in case no one ever put this info up before-when you first open a bag of tobacco-use a little more. When you start getting down toward the bottom, and get more of the powdery stuff that naturally trickles downward-use less. If your machine jams-don't fight it or try to force it. Stop and clean it out. I use an old nutpicker tool my grandmother had, it fits perfectly in the hole and gets everything shoved out. It's got none of the additive/preservative crap they put in 'ready-made' smokes, which is another good thing. Welcome aboard! You'll go faster and faster at it as time goes on. You'll become weary or discouraged sometimes, and buy a few packs here and there, but eventually you get the hang of it. I'd also suggest buying a final carton of the brand you usually smoked-in the BOX, if they make them that way. I use the boxes for my RYO's, and as long as you don't sit on them, they should last about a year. If they don't sell your old brand in a box, you could always get some off friends who don't yet roll.

Hey seesee, good to see another MYO convert. Check out syo.dalrun.com. That site has a lot of information on using the Supermatic and on the different types of tobacco and tubes available.
Good Luck! |

Yup, that's right...screw 'em! I'm turning all of my friends into converts too. I haven't bought commercially made cigs in years (before I switched to myo I purchased from an Indian reservation) and my friends too are now starting to realize that buying them is openly permitting the Gov. to discriminate against them. |

I finally bought 6 ounces of bulk tobacco, today, and some rolling papers.
I just roll 'em by hand, since I like non-filters. No more excessive taxes here, those anti bastards can starve! |

Well, it has happened. I made my first cigs today and just ordered some higher quality tubes and tobacco. I'm looking to blend the gifted tin of american spirit blue with sagamore natural & sagamore canadian, in the vera cruz nocts.
I intend to move away from am.spirit altogether--just have fun, exploring a new world of taste. Mix my own blends.
I should've done this sooner, no doubt about it.  |

Unfortunately, the only tubes for sale locally here were the rock-gut Gamblers and the Zig-Zags. Of the 2 lowshelfs, I prefer the ZZs. Ack on both though.  |

| El Reys are one of the best, as far as I'm concerned. |
