Greetings guys. Didn't know this thread existed. Cool cool. I started out with Winston Lights, but my roomie and I experimented with rollies and got real hooked on. We used to roll with our hands and got real pro at it tongue.gif Till I got the roller, now hand skills not so good.

Anyhoo, I don't know why but Excellent doesn't do it for me. I love Harvest, but maybe should try some other brands. Darren, you seem to be a pro at this. What brand in the price range of Harvest would you recommend for rollies? Doesn't matter if got flavour or not.

I can safely say I've tried all flavours in Harvest. Still got the packs, gonna lay it out on a board and frame it biggrin.gif

P.S. - vickyrao, you're ex-MMUian right? Don't know whether you still remember me. What are you doing now, man?

Sure thing, brother, will let you know. Tomorrow gaji masuk, so yay can stock up on tobacco!

For those staying at Kota Damansara, they should know that there is a new Uptown which opened over there. There are a few stalls which sell tobacco, pipes and stuff. Pretty good and a variety of choices, plus they open late at night, so you can go there and get if you're out of smoke 2 am in the morning.

If you don't know where it is, PM me. Malas wanna explain here and I gotta run now anywayz. Ciao!

If I'm not mistaken, they open from night to early morning. It's not a shop per se, it's a bunch of stalls which sell a variety of stuff, cheap, unique, creative stuff. Ask anyone staying around Damansara area for the new Uptown. It's in the area of Kota Damansara. They should know.

Today I wanna try out Excellent or MacBaren biggrin.gif Hopefully it's good rclxms.gif

Sure thing, man. Just drop me a PM whenever you're coming down. It's always nice to meet up with rolling buddies tongue.gif

Just got Excellent Mango as per recommended by you. Smoked two sticks, but I still preferred Harvest. I feel that Harvest is more rough to my throat which I prefer. Excellent is smooth. I know most people prefer a smoother cigarette.

I mixed with Harvest Caramel a bit and I found it nice. Gonna go get another Caramel to try different combinations. 'Coz when I mix it, the smoothness of Excellent is there, but the roughness of Harvest gives my throat the taste I want. Excellent indeed! tongue.gif

Wah, baru found out here got such topic. Hallo everyone.

I am smoking ciggys now but I still prefer flavoured tobaccos as I am using SKL most of the time now(dunno you all know this brand anot?)

Would like to start rolling tobaccos now, as ciggy prices too high now.
Is there any starter kits for beginners like me?

Thank you in advance for letting me know.

Cheers smile.gif

Oh dude, you can tahan SKL? Cannot wei, I really can't. Real weird aftertaste for me. I puffed one and passed the cigarette to a friend. Rollies are the way to go, man. Where are you staying? Just go to any mamak type bookshops, near the counter got lots of tobacco packs, rolling papers and rollers to be found. You just need a roller, tobacco and rolling paper. Filters are there too, but depends on you whether you want it or not. Roller also if you don't want, you can roll by hand, but need certain skills, if not rugi tobacco.

Tobacco should cost you around RM 11 - RM 13. Paper (50 stripes) usually comes together with the tobacco, if not you can get it for RM 1 - RM 2. Filters (100 filters) will cost you from RM 4 - RM 5. A decent roller (rolling machine) will cost you around RM 10 - RM 15. A pack of tobacco can give me more than 40 cigarettes. Depends on how you roll also. Don't pack it too much or else you can't smoke properly and you're gonna waste the tobacco.

Just google it, dude. You will find lots of stuff. Even got videos teaching you how to roll your own cigarettes. Cheers.

sure sure when i got went down kl  tongue.gif
wah....i hate the roughness thats why i dislike harvest
but caramel is ok because its latest improved formula
harvest sales is dropping because of excellent
so if they still dont have 'caramel' version release i think excellent will overtake harvest's market
btw...you dont get the Excellent Kir Royal and the Middleton's Black & Mild ?

Didn't try Excellent Kir Royal and Middleton's Black & Mild. I just bought Excellent Mango. Will either get another Excellent to mix according to your suggestion or get another Harvest Caramel and mix with Excellent. See how my mood tongue.gif

wont lar
actually rolling tobaccos all is flavouring only
they sprayed the flavour 1
to get natural pure flavouring or blend 1 all is pipe tobacco level and above
you see the different....rolling tobacco smell will gone very fast
but for pipe tobacco the smell can last very very long 1
some tobacco is keep longer the smell nicer
btw....im lookin for Eric Nordling No.1 for long long time
now i got 1 batang left only
keep for half year +
have to controlled myself not to smoke it yet =p

Haha, I know won't get diabetes la, just saying I feel like when smoke, the sugar is seeping through my veins tongue.gif

Go home gotta try mix Excellent Kir Royal and Mango.

Seems like we're the only active rollers amongs the LYNS, Darren. Come on fellow LYNS, if you roll, voice it out.
