Hand rolling tobacco—because sometimes, taking the time to roll your own is half the pleasure. Here in Scarborough, we offer a fine selection of hand rolling tobacco for those who appreciate a bit of craftsmanship in their smoke. Whether you prefer a smooth, mellow blend or something a bit stronger with more bite, we’ve got you covered. Rolling your own isn’t just about saving a few quid—it’s about controlling your experience, from the thickness of the roll to the perfect balance of flavour.
Our tobacco comes in a variety of cuts and blends, giving you the freedom to roll exactly how you like it. Whether you’re a seasoned roller or just getting started, there’s something satisfying about a well-made roll-up. Plus, let’s be honest—there’s a certain charm in rolling your own that pre-rolled cigarettes just can’t match. Perfect for those who enjoy the process as much as the smoke itself.
What is the best tobacco for hand rolling?
It depends on your taste. If you prefer something smooth and mild, go for a fine-cut Virginia blend such as
Auld Kendal Gold or
Amsterdamer. If you like a stronger, fuller flavour,
Auld Kendal Dark or
Halfzware might be more your style. Think of it like choosing between a smooth ale or a hearty pint of stout.
Which Papers should i use?
Rolling Papers come in all shapes, sizes, and materials.
King Size or
Regular Papers are popular, and you can pick from rice, hemp, or wood pulp. If you’re a beginner, thicker papers might save your patience, but thinner ones burn slower and taste better.
How do I roll a cigarette?
Evenly spread your tobacco along the paper—none of this lumpy business. Roll it gently between your fingers, rubbing the paper not the tobacco, tuck the edge down, wrap, and seal it up with the adhesive. It might not be perfect on your first go, but it’ll still smoke, won’t it? If you are not one for perseverance or you’re just all fingers and no thumbs then our range of
rolling machines can help you on your way.
Do I need Filters?
Filters are optional but handy. They smooth out the draw and reduce the harsher bits, like a sieve for your smoke. You can use pre-cut tips or even make your own if you’re feeling creative.
How do I keep my tobacco fresh?
Keep your tobacco in a proper
Pouch or an
Airtight Container to stop it drying out. If it’s gone a bit crisp, adding a small
Humidifier or a piece of citrus peel can bring it back to life. Just don’t leave it knocking about—it’s not tea; it won’t age well.
