Guys, I've been trying to find the longer rolling papers...but no luck so far. Does anyone know where I could find something equivalent to a kings/superkings in Malaysia? Or at the very least longer than 70mm sweat.gif

Also, any shops that carry Rizla? Kinda got used to them but very hard to find in Malaysia. Oh, and Golden Virginia tobacco too if anyone knows where to get em smile.gif

KK mart. for zigzag king size paper and golden virginia. i think they have rizla too. at least you'll get free rizla with golden virginia.

COOL!

Never thought KK mart would have them...Best I could find from them before was Drums (The first baccy I tried into my foray of rollies biggrin.gif). I guess I should've tried a few other outlets.

Thank you ever so much! biggrin.gif

Hmm. I've not heard of the first. Will attempt embershoppe when I head to the Curve next. Thanks for that smile.gif

they do. but mostly for flavours and preservative. nothing as bad as normal cigs(i.e ammonia so that the nicotine can be absorb better).

yes, unitas stuff are a bit stronger on the flavour side. mac barrens are no where as good as they were before(old packaging). harvest, ok if desperate. i used to roll pipe tobacco. better taste. also, try to stick with original flavour, all the flavoured rolling tobacco are basically crap nowadays. golden virginia is a good choice.

suddenly this thread becomes active again, cigarette price too much nowadays?  brows.gif

Ciggys are way overpriced nowadays. Started rolling back in uni days where it was more affordable. GBP -> MYR was a killer back then with a 7+ rate sweat.gif Realised that it actually taste better as opposed to normal ciggs. Just damn mafan to handroll (I don't like using the machine coz somehow it just can't be as tight as a hand rolled one).

Came back to Malaysia where it was cheaper and found that it was hard to source for my usual baccy...so sort of gave up on it. Until the recent price hike. Now I'm actively searching and trying different brands. Thanks to you, I know where to find them now! biggrin.gif

Vapers any good though? Some swear by it while some...says it really sucks (pun not intended laugh.gif)

since march i've only bought 1 packs of mac barren pipe tobacco. smoked on and off when i feel like it, like leisurely. vaping most of the time. no more tobacco since august. so i guess it's working for me. you do miss the morning nicotine kick from time to time though.  yawn.gif

Damn. Doing a good job there mate. I'm trying to ease off the fags all together. Hoping to go back to rollies and then eventually...quiting. Maybe I should consider vaping too for the transition. Damn smoking isn't cool. Why the hell did I pick up this habit sweat.gif

not sure if they do online business. their cheapest would be around RM60-80, non-branded briar wood pipes. some points about pipes:
- pipes need pipe tobacco, don't use rolling tobacco. that would suck.
- a nicely packed pipe would last you about 15-30mins. so can't do that quick half-stick smoking. you can't rush when using a pipe
- don't buy cheap pipe(unknown wood, plastic bowl, bla,bla), better off without it
- you shouldn't inhale. might be tricky for long time smokers.

papers are always more convenient, pipes are more for leisure. like during a lord of the rings marathon  laugh.gif . just need to get use to rolling it. here's some weird skill level i've defined on my own  brows.gif
lvl1: assisted rolling, as in rolling with a roller or similar device
lvl2: mobile assisted rolling, as in rolling with a device but while moving(driving a moving vehicle, walking, running etc)
lvl3: hand rolling, as in rolling with hands
lvl4: mobile hand rolling, as in rolling with hands but while moving(driving a moving vehicle, walking, running etc)
lvl5: ultimate roll, one hand rolling  flex.gif

i'm at lvl4. could never get lvl5 to work  laugh.gif . and yes, i can roll a "popiah" better than my wife.  sweat.gif
thanks. yes, you should consider. no more chest pain  thumbup.gif .

i never think of smoking as being cool. my excuse was, nicotine helps me think(scientifically, it does actually).  rolleyes.gif

I once met this bloke at a Level 5. Friend says he could drive a stick-shift and still roll it one-handed. *respect*

Like you, I'm only a Lvl 4 though. A bit anal about rolling it all nice and trim so...I tend to take longer than normal laugh.gif

So smoking a pipe is like smoking a cigar then? No inhaling? That shit is hard when inhaling is second nature. I cough like I've been hit with the plague whenever my friend decides to do a cigar session.

No more chest pain would be good. Especially right before you sleep or in the mornings. A very violent reminder of our mortality sweat.gif

Hey chongtiensum, why don't you check in the garage sales or bulk. Or even this thread. I think a page or two back someone was selling his smile.gif

gg la like this so u guys asking me to learn wraping like wraping popiah haha...
the paper so small so hard to wrap...  cry.gif

Very easy lah. My sister managed to do it in one try after seeing how I did it. Not the cleanest but can still smoke lah laugh.gif

QUOTE(zeroglyph @ Oct 11 2013, 02:22 PM)
you did?  shocking.gif  lucky. i've never actually met someone who can roll it one handed, that's so hardcore  cool2.gif . i can drive a stick shift while rolling,  but still 2 handed. sweat.gif

yup, smoking a pipe is more or less like a cigar, but without the ashes. inhaling too much does "choke" you, need to learn to control it.
unfortunately, those has been discontinued(for quite a while now). hence, macbarren's rolling tobacco has dropped from my preferred brand. their pipe tobacco is still nice though.
you'll get the hang of it eventually. not like wrapping popiah, but like rolling it. wrap like popiah becomes like cigar already(closed on both end). how to smoke?  laugh.gif

I don't think he can do a "Level 5 Rolling" while walking though. Else can't put the baccy in sweat.gif I think I'll stick to rollies for now. Pipes would probably make me cough half my lungs out then - I have to make a concious effort to not inhale it. Reminded me of good ol' uni days and a friend trying a spliff for a first time "Dude, I'm not high. At all". We were like...how the hell? Apparently she was just a social smoker - everything remains in the mouth only. Here we were thinking she was high-resistant doh.gif

hahahahahaha sifu u snap some pic show me eh.... in the same time drills and teach this thread some kung poo ma haha
....
u got put filter ma boss? if no then how u suck it? the paper so soft

I personally use a filter. Prefer the regular-sized one. Slim ones...I find harder to roll and not as satisfying.

The cheapest pipe you can get in Pertama would be RM95. Kamelah would be RM100 above.
I tried pipe a few times but i dislike the smoke taste as all the pipe tobacco blends had the "burnt wood" flavour so i quit.
Not sure if the blends i bought was english tobacco or something. i tried Borkum Riff Vanilla and Cherry Cavendish, Von Eicken Private Club Vanilla but urgh, all tasted so terrible. My colleague suggested i go for Mac Baren but i dont wanna spend another 20 bucks just to try a blend once.

So i'll stick to cigars for the time being. Full bodied, creamy and rich smoke. mmmmm wub.gif

Ahh, now I know how to describe the taste. It's like relighting a cigarette which went off. Thats how pipe smoking tastes like to me. What do you guys call that taste?
*
I think it's called disgusting. Unless you're smoking some lights and you're used to something harder. Then it becomes necessary laugh.gif

Btw quick update:

I found my Golden Virginia and King Sized Rolling paper. Woo hoo! Although it feels more like a Super King's and feels like I'm rolling a joint too sweat.gif
