Trouble rolling a cigarette...

first of all, if you're coming on here to tell me that smoking is bad. idgaf, gf
anyway... i decided buying cigs is too expensive so i went out and bought me a pound of largo's tobacco and some papers. never really tried to roll a cigarette before, i can roll them decent enough to where i can smoke then but they're not real sweet tight rolls like i've seen other people do. so i was just wondering if anyone had a tip or a trick that i'm missing here to get a real clean tight roll?

 

first off, i have been known to roll a join in less than 5 seconds but that is easier because it is sticky(usually).

rollies:
ok first off
take a paper out of the pack
you should notice a nice crease where the fold was.
make another crease about half a centimeter down parallel to the other crease( not on the side with glue)
when you open it up you should find a nice U shape made by the creases.

tobacco:
put the tobacco in the U shaped rolly.
level the tobacco evenly thought the paper.(you dont want to have a pregnant smoke)
use the pack of rollies or the side of a pen to pack the tobacco down.
(the pack of rollies is the same length as the paper, so it is ideal to use the side of this.)
now flip the sideof paper that doesnt have glue on it into the tobacco and just roll it up with ur fingers.
lick glue and smoke

 

Thanks! I've been practicing and i think i've finally got it. I just wasn't getting the "tuck" right.

 

mate its not good for you can get CANCER

 

Spam^.

Anyways, pack it on both sides with the flat end of a pen. While packing one side, pinch the other side and vice versa. Same way you roll a good joint.

 

if you want a long cigarette, dont pinch the ends, instead fill them

 

thanks to all your advice it really helped. i'm rolling them pretty good now: here's an update:

 

Buy a topomatic...

Perfect cigs everytime.

 

buy a rolling tin? they are a good investment, save a lot of time

 

^ A marvellous invention. Use them :O

 

rolling machines are bad because sometimes they wrap it to hard and when you light it up it fucks up specially with joints

 

Why would you use a rolling machine for a joint?

 

You can't be at a party and use a rolling machine , you will ge laughed at , unless your a female like Verts.

Try you tubing videos.

 

My friend Liam uses one and nobody says anything to him about it. If you're shit at rolling, you're shit at rolling.

 

get the sticky part up and on the top of the cigarette, but the tobacco inside it roll it around put more in then do a final roll then seal it it takes some practice

 

Just keep practicing, I role backwards, just because I find it easier. After about 3 weeks of smoking rollies youll be alright (Y), and from then on it just gets better and better.

 

I roll my cigarettes inwards, towards me.

Roll with my index finger, keep the paper steady with my thumbs and middle fingers

 

yea those rolling machines work really good. Have you tried using a dollar bill though? that's how I roll up my dank

 

Just practice. Not hard to learn. I taught myself to roll Joints and Blunts lol.

 

Rolling machines suck balls =(!

But for op: Roll up, down and up again and you're ready! Practise!
