I make myself my cigarettes for 26 years. Compared to plastic machines I've previously used, the latter has several advantages. It is easier to use and more solid (100% metal), some spare parts are even provided. It saves me a lot of time because it no longer really be assayed tobacco since it is cut and do not pack it. By cons it is heavy and bulky 16x16 cm and 1 kg, impossible to win a trip. This is not a problem because I do my cigarettes in advance. It should not be too filling and leave a little dry sauces for tobacco that the tubes are filled and must still patting lightly to get it down tobacco bottom of the tube. Despite the price, I do not regret this purchase. I spent time writing this review to you. If you enjoy and that this has been helpful, thank you to let me know by checking YES below.
