Instructions

  1. How to Roll a Cigarette

    • 1

      Lightly pack the open rolling machine with tobacco. Make sure the tobacco is uniformly dispersed along the machine's depression.

    • 2

      Press the sliding roller to meet the stationary roller and give the roller nearest you one full turn downward with both thumbs.

    • 3

      With the gummed edge of the cigarette paper upright and facing you, insert the bottom edge of the cigarette paper where both closed rollers meet.

    • 4

      Slightly rotate the nearest roller until the cigarette paper catches, descends into the roller and starts to curl around the packed tobacco.

    • 5

      Moisten the gummed edge of the cigarette paper and continue rotating both rollers until the cigarette paper is drawn entirely into the rolling machine. Continue rolling for approximately three revolutions.

    • 6

      Open the rollers and remove your cigarette.
