Rolling Machines

Find the Perfect Tobacco Rolling Machine

Rolling your own cigarettes is something of an art that requires some skill and dexterity. It’s also a more sustainable and cost-effective way to enjoy your favourite hobby. When you roll your own, you get to customise your cigarettes by including more or less tobacco, adding flavours, or using specific types of filters and rolling papers. The thing is, mastering the rolling technique takes time and effort, and not everyone gets it. This is where tobacco rolling machines come in.

You’ll find a range of options here at the Black Swan Shoppe. Some of these cigarette rollers keep things sweet and simple, while others are more complex in design and offer storage space for your hand rolling tobacco.

The Raw Bamboo Rolling Mat is the perfect choice if you’re looking for a sustainable, eco-friendly option. Made from natural bamboo, these mats are similar to sushi rolling mats. All you need to do is place a rolling paper on the mat, add some tobacco and a filter (optional but recommended), roll it up, stick the cigarette paper closed, and you’ve got a freshly rolled cigarette.

The dual roller style of rolling machines such as the Bull Brand Original Plastic, Raw Long Lasting Sustainable Hemp Plastic, Mascotte Classic Plastic, and Rizla Regular Metal roller have been around since the early 1970s. These machines use the classic dual-roller and endless band design. 

To use these cigarette rollers, pull the rollers away from each other to open them, place tobacco and a filter in the depression, push the rollers together to close them, and give them a couple of turns. Place a rolling paper into the gap with the gum at the top and facing you. Gently turn the rollers to roll the paper into the machine, licking the gummed side before it passes between the rollers. Give the rollers a couple of more turns and open the machine to get your newly rolled cigarette.

Combi rolling machines, such as those produced by Bull Brand and BBB, take this iconic design a step further. Some of these machines allow you to adjust the width of your cigarettes to accommodate different filter sizes and amounts of tobacco, while others have built-in cigarette paper dispensers for added convenience.

For even greater convenience, check out the automatic tobacco rolling machine tins from brands such as Roberts and Zig-Zag. These nifty options hold your tobacco, filters, and rolling papers. To use them, place the desired amount of tobacco into the space, add a filter, lick a rolling paper, place it along the back, and close the lid to roll the perfect cigarette.

Rolling Machines FAQs

What size filter do I need to use in cigarette rolling machines?

The size of the filters you need to use depends on your choice of rolling machine. Some are designed to roll cigarettes with 6mm filters, while others can be adjusted to roll 5mm or 6mm filters. Be sure to check the product specifications before ordering your cigarette roller.

What size rolling papers should I use in my tobacco rolling machine?

The size of the rolling paper you use depends on the tobacco rolling machine you choose. Some are designed to roll 70mm papers, while others are designed for papers up to 79mm. You can also find King Size machines that use papers up to 110mm.

Do I need to use filters when making cigarettes with a rolling machine?

While you do not need to use filters when making cigarettes with a rolling machine, we do recommend that you consider using them. Filters reduce the amount of nicotine, tar, and other components of smoke entering your body, and they stop bits of tobacco from getting into your mouth while smoking. They can also help your cigarette keep its shape.
