How to Roll Your Own Cigarettes
Rolling your own cigarettes is a fairly simple process that can save smokers a ton of money. You can roll a pack of cigarettes in minutes and spend less than $80 to get started.
In this guide we will cover how to roll your own cigarettes. We discuss what you need to get started and the steps it takes using a standard crank rolling machine.
What You Need
In order to roll your own cigarettes you need 3 main supplies: tobacco, tubes and a cigarette rolling machine.
All can be bought for under $80 through our online smoke shop.
Our supplies
- Tobacco: Custom Blends – Blend 3
- Cigarette Rolling Machine: Mikromatic
- Tubes: Hot Rod Smooth King Size
Step 1 – Packing your tobacco
The first step is finding your preferred tobacco. We have a variety of blends to choose from; Custom Blends Cigarette Tobacco and R.Y.O. Pipe Tobacco.
A typical cigarette contains 0.7 grams of tobacco. Although, we typically don’t weigh out our tobacco.
Place your tobacco into the bucket of your rolling machine. Pack your tobacco in the edges more than the center.
Pro tip: Don’t pack it too tight. This could jam your machine or create a dense cigarette that is hard to burn.
Pro tip 2: Packing your cigarette too loosely can make it burn unevenly or too quickly. You’ll find your happy medium.
Step 2 – Place Your Tube on the Injector Nozzle
On the side of your machine you’ll see a nozzle, or tube holder. Usually with an angled edge to allow the tube to easily slide on and off without tear.
Place your tube all the way on this nozzle. Pressed against the side of your machine.
Step 3 – Turn the Handle/Crank
Self explanatory step. While your tobacco is packed in the machine bucket, and with your cigarette tube placed on the injector nozzle. Give the handle a full crank.
The crank pushes the injector through the nozzle and tobacco into your tube. Sliding your cigarette off in one simple turn.
Extra Steps
Sometimes your tobacco is unevenly packed or packed too tight. These two problems can be easily be fixed.
For cigarettes packed too tightly, roll the cigarette through your finger tips to loosen up the blockage.
For cigarettes with an uneven or loose roll, tap the filter end of the cigarette down onto a hard surface such as a table or chair arm
Sometimes doing both of these steps is necessary, or becomes habitual to the process.
CBD vs CBN vs CBG vs CBC
CBD, CBG, CBN, CBC and THC are all forms of cannabinoids that can be found in various hemp plants. Since the Farmers Act of 2018, we have been blessed with a wide range of products like tinctures, oils and flowers containing these compounds.
The most well-known are CBD and THC as these are the two main cannabinoids found in marijuana plants. Although the Farmer’s Act of 2018 only federally legalized sales and usage of CBD, CBN, CBC and CBG.
To understand the differences in these cannabinoids is understanding their usage and benefits.
CBD
CBD is the most abundant cannabinoid found in hemp plants and the second most abundant found in marijuana plants. CBD is recognized to help ease pain relief and inflammation. CBD does not give you a “high” making it an ideal solution for wellness and medicinal purposes. Even though CBD is federally legalized it is not regulated by the FDA.
Benefits
- Common Aches and Pains: helpful with minor/common aches and pains like sports injuries and bruises
- Chronic Pain: CBD can help fight against chronic pain by interacting with your brain.
- Anti-Inflammatory: CBD can help against inflammation in patients with arthritis
- Anxiety and Panic Disorders: CBD has been reported to help fight against Anxiety and Panic Disorders
- Nausea and Vomiting: CBD and other cannabinoids are known to be helpful to reduce nausea. Helpful for those undergoing chemotherapy.
- Some Skin Conditions: CBD has also been recognized in clearing skin in certain conditions like rashes and eczema
CBN
CBN is a downgrade of THC as it’s formed when THC disintegrates through age or too much exposure to heat or oxygen. Although it is formed through THC it’s potency is about 25% of it’s THC counterpart. CBN is unlikely to cause a high but is known to have subtle psychoactive effects which can help it’s users.
Benefits
- Anti-Inflammatory: CBN works well with CBD to work as an anti-inflammatory medicine per it’s chemical analysis.
- Immunosuppressant: CBN can help your immune system per its chemical analysis.
- Pain-Relief: CBN works well with CBD to decrease pain levels by relaxing muscles. Some studies are looking at chronic pain conditions such as arthritis and fibromyalgia.
- Bone Growth (unconfirmed): One study is looking into whether CBN plays a role in helping reverse bone-loss in osteoporosis patients.
CBG
CBGA (cannabigerolic acid) is the first cannabinoid state and the precursor to all the cannabinoids mentioned in this article. CBG is a later form of CBGA and shares the closest resemblance to its former state. CBG is a more rare than other cannabinoids so it also tends to be more expensive. Studies indicate that CBG interacts with the CB1 and CB2 receptors in our endocannabinoid system. This can help moods, motivation, appetite and sleep.
Benefits
- Muscle Relaxation: CBG is a great muscle relaxer.
- Anxiety and Depression: CBG is believed to help fight anxiety and depression by blocking serotonin receptors and reducing your GABA uptake.
- Neuroprotective: CBG has helped people with severe neurological disorders and diseases, like Huntington’s Disease.
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Studies are showing CBG may help people with inflammatory diseases like IBD.
- Anti-Bacterial: CBG has been proven to be useful to fight against some bacterial infections like MRSA.
CBC
CBC (cannabichromene) is the third most abundant cannabinoid, behind THC and CBD, and is formed as CBDA (cannabidiolic acid) breaksdown. CBC does not get you high. Recreational users can look into the entourage effect, a theory that mixing cannabinoids together creates an accompanied effect.
Not many studies have been done on CBC but what we do know is it effects the CB1, CB2 TRPA1 and TRPV1 receptors. CBC is most noted for its great effects on the TRPA1 and TRPV1 receptors which are linked to our perception of pain, making CBC a great alternative to several painkillers without the side effects.
Benefits
- Pain-Killer: CBC is a great alternative to several painkillers.
- Anti-Inflammatory: CBC is also said to be an anti-inflammatory.
- Pathophysiological Conditions: CBC studies are showing CBC can work to treat and aid several pathophysiological conditions like intestinal secretion, mucosal inflammation, visceral pain, and Intestinal cancer.
- Healthy Brain Function: Studies show CBC to be helpful in raising the viability of our NSPCs, which play a role in learning and memory.
- Anti-Depressant: Next to CBD and THC, CBC is reported to be an effective anti-depressant treatment.

Employee Appreciation – Eric A.
Much Thanks and Appreciation to Our Amazingly Awesome Employee Eric A.
We are truly honored to have such a wonderful staff of employees that go above and beyond for our customers and businesses.
This week we would really like to acknowledge and thank Eric A. from the sales and order department at our warehouse. A long-time brand ambassador, friend and leader.
This past week Eric went out of his way to shovel (yes, shovel) out the parking lot entrances and parking spots so customers could safely travel in and out of our lots. This took majority of his day, starting at 5:30 AM in Camp Hill and ending roughly around 5:30 PM in York! This act of kindness not only helped our shops, it also helped our neighboring businesses as well!
‘Tis the season? Eric is known to be kind and helpful all year round. A truly great guy.
Thanks again Eric!

Subscribe and download BT Cab’s Dreams II (remastered)
Beginning as early as 1993 Planet R.Y.O. was sponsoring concerts and bringing in national acts. In addition Planet R.Y.O. did our best to foster local musicians. One of those partnerships resulted in BT Cab and this CD entitled Dreams.
When the COVID Pandemic hit everyone was impacted however musicians and those in live entertainment are one of the most damaged industries in America. Since the very beginning of the pandemic virtually ALL concerts and live recording events have CEASED. Not temporarily halted and resumed during the summer, but halted with NO breaks.
Most of the industry’s workers are pay per event, or independent contractors and have no safety net to help with bills, medical costs, or even food. We contacted the musicians with BT Cab with a proposal to remaster this music, which has never been released since the very first printing back in 1998.
In these remastered versions the music is transformed from simply great written little ditties to the musical powerhouses we knew they were when they were recorded almost 24 years ago.
The vocals now shine! The incredible bass playing from Michael is pure and brilliant and outstanding and sorely sorely missed by York PA!
The guitars (Brian Pearson and Tom D) are sharp and perfect and blend like harmonized voices due to the most unique tunings and chords this Producer has EVER seen!
The drums, provided by Sam Panther (who now has a dazzling career in Arizona) are solid, diesel like, powerful without being juvenile despite the size of the biggest guy in the band laying it down.
This remaster of this music is this year’s project that gives us the most joy. The thumb in the COVID Eye. This is our “Put this in your spike protein and smoke it!”!
We have things to see and people to do…or something like that…. and as soon as this virus is defeated we are going to throw one HELL of a concert, take a deep breath, and say “WTF! THAT WAS A TRIP!”
Love y’all!
– Mark and Frances Tucci
Custom Blends FDA ‘Grandfather’ Status
If you follow tobacco news and are a Custom Blends fan, then you will be excited to read this article on how Custom Blends decision in 2006 was a smart move for the future.
Read: York PA Small Tobacco Brand Enjoys FDA Grandfather Status
TLDR: In 2006-2007 the FDA targeted roll-your-own cigarette tobacco companies with higher tax rates and regulations. Most companies found a loophole by labeling their tobacco as “pipe” tobacco, and obviously packaged it as cigarette tobacco.
Custom Blends however took the ethical, and seemingly right direction by paying the increased taxes and being honest with their customers.
The extended price tags would impact sales and distribution of Custom Blends for over a decade.
This however has changed. The FDA has ordered all tobacco companies that escaped these taxes over the years a heftier tax hike. However, the Central PA cigarette tobacco brand is grandfathered into the previous taxes and regulations. Allowing Custom Blends’ Farm Fresh Tobacco the ability to compete in the national market again!
