Clove Cigarette – Roll your own!
Buying Clove Cigarettes can get pricey! I don’t like spending the money for a good cigarette when I know I can make my own with any tobacco that I like.
It’s really simple and the whole bang isn’t very costly. You can either roll manually with your hands or buy a roller. I personally like a roller. The cigarette burns more even and I don’t have to worry about messing up. Second pick up some filters, about 75cents for 100. Third pick out your favorite blend of tobacco that you want to roll with, most come with papers. Fourth pick up some cloves from a grocery store, located in the spice isle. Something to note, whole cloves are the best but are expensive, a little bit will last for a long time and you can grind them to your personal preference. Last just get everything ready and roll away.
Starting out costs were:
$15.00 Zig Zag roller – Worth it imo
~$8.00 Large container of whole cloves
$3.00 Bugler brand tobacco
$0.75 100 Top filters
(Makes about 50 Cigarettes with plenty of Cloves left)
Total: $26.75
The Roller with pay for itself and after the first purchase you will see a difference in how much you spend per cigarette.
After purchasing the zigzag and cloves the general price range will run you about $3-5 per 50 cigs compared to $6.5-10 for 20 store bought cigs.
Side note: Most clove cigarettes bought retail have flavored paper on the inside of the rolling paper. So the cloves are not what make the citrus flavors. Keep that in mind if you are expecting a home rolled clove to taste like a Djarum Black. Because it won’t! IMO – Hand rolled taste fresher and I enjoy the effect of the clove taste better when freshly ground.
