I was in my local tobacco store a few minutes ago and got a pound of Stoker Light.

The person behind me asked me how I made my own, and what they tasted like. I gave her one of mine and she went outside and smoked it. Then she returned and asked what it took to MYO.

The lady at the counter pulled out a Premier Supermatic and I stuffed a smoke right in front of her with the tobacco I just bought. She was amazed. Both she and her husband smoke, so there was absolutely no doubt she would save a bundle.

She walked out with a Premier Supermatic, 2 pounds of Stoker lights and 6 boxes of tubes. She paid $$96.00 for three weeks worth of MYO smokes, including the initial investment of the Premier supermatic, and would have spent $115.00 for the same number of pre packaged smokes.

Love it!!!!!

Zippy, that was a great story. The only part I find disturbing is that she had to go outside to have the cigarette. If it's a tobacco shop, she should have been able to have the cigarette right in the store.

Two words for you Tom:

Smoking Ban

Is that nuts or what?

Now, that's going a little overboard. Even NJ's smoking ban doesn't include tobacco shops.

The only places here that you can smoke in a business is some Hotel smoking rooms, medical research facilities and theatrical productions.

It is interesting though. there is a sports bar in town that sits on State property (part of the State Fair Grounds).

That place was dead before the ban, no one wanted to go there, now it is packed every day and night. It used to open at 4PM, now they open at 11AM. The Owner of that place hopes the ban is never lifted.

Zippy, I am working with my local store to put on clinics....... think about it, we need to starve the bastards of cash, and for each one we convert, thats less money for the jihadists to slit our throat.

My local guy loves it, and to a T, everyone I have shown has been amazed at how easy it is.

I need to work up a clinic on maintaining the supermatic also I guess.


TAKE THAT you anti-smoking BASTARDS!

Thanks Pat:

On another post I outlined how I can make 2 cartons of MYOs in an hour, most due to a board that I hooked my supermatic to with dowels that fit into holes on my workbench. I made one of these for a local tobacco shop to use when they demonstrate the machine, and gave them a pdf drawing of it to distribute to customers if they wanted it.

To date they have sold 3 times more machines because they were able to show people that it is far less work than they believed it would be.

Can you imagine how much revenue to the "anti's" has dried up because of us.

It's not a statewide ban. My City has the ban.

Interesting how, once our City banned smoking, the entire County was going to ban it.

Turns out, the small towns in the county have made a small fortune off of smokers leaving the City for their restaraunts and bars, so the County Government is making out like a bandit. The ban issue has NEVER come up as a County issue.

Interesting that, before the ban was put into place, the County Commissioners were on the "ban bandwagon", but since, they will not even talk about a potential ban.
