I much prefer roll ups to normal cigarettes.

Could anybody recommend a good rolling machine to me for 'Glastonbury ciggie' times? I have looked at some sites claiming they are great but you just never know, especially when it's a 'zig zag' £2.99 one...

Indeed plus hand rolling helps you monitor your intake. When you get to the point where you're no longer capable of rolling you know it's time to get someone else to roll for you :P

Just don't do what my mate did in 08. He can't roll for toffee at the best of times so decided to pre-roll all his joints before getting to site. He came up with the cunning plan of hiding them all in one of the wellies he'd strapped rucksack. He made it through the gates without anyone finding them and was looking super pleased with himself. Then someone tapped him on the back and said "I think you're dropping something mate". As he turned around I noticed that the wellie had turned upside down, and like Hansel and Gretel he'd left a trail of biftas on the walkway. I cried laughing for a good 10 minutes as he went back picking them out of the dirt trying not to look too suspicious to the security staff about 20 metres away :P

When learning I always found sushi rolling mats to be very handy.

I love rolling a good glastonbury cigarette. Everyone complains I take ages doing it and I'm so precise but I like a good one, rather than something which resembles a tampon.

I suggest hands as well. Just takes a little practice and its much easier and generally produces better quality in the end.

However if you must.....

I have that gift for roll ups but at glastonbury i tend to forget what im doing and take far too long. plus if i'm wearing my head torch whilst building i tend to blind people as i forget its on my head when i talk to them. could do with a dimmer switch for it.
