Hi everyone. I've been visiting the forum on an almost daily basis for many months now and I thought it was about time I introduced myself. My name's Andrew and I'm a paramedic from the north of England. I've been making my own cigarettes for about a year now with Don's excellent tobacco, and I'm currently smoking Don's Virginia blend and Yedi, and I've got a delivery on the way of red, bright leaf and lemon so I can experiment a bit, but I have to say that the Virginia Blend cased with its own casing and the air cured casing is absolutely fantastic after it's settled for a few days.
I shred my tobacco with a Polish manual shredder which is my only realistic option as the Powermatic is just too expensive to bring to the UK at the moment, and I use a Powermatic electronic injector to make my cigarettes, which I've found to be bullet proof. Perfect cigarette every time so far.
I'm saving a fortune making my own cigarettes. In the UK a packet of 20 costs about £9 which is about $13.50 at the moment, and the last time I smoked a commercial cigarette I thought it tasted crap, so I'm very glad I decided to make my own from whole leaf, it's like comparing night and day.
This is a great forum and I've really appreciated reading so many great posts over the last few months.
Thanks guys
Andrew
