paper, of tobacco or an alternative, that comes in sheets in notebooks large and small. it can be cut to preferred size by user, then rolled up and used in the normal fashion.
many different flavors could be offered. i'm not sure if this would actually draw but if you didn't roll it too tightly?
advantages
of this product=
control over size (make a small one if you're between classes, maybe?)
if you write on it also, it would be a great way to recycle.

well there's hemp paper, so you're halfway there. i wonder if there's a way to process the leaves into paper so all the flavor isn't washed out. |
|
| |
as far as the draw goes, a study of cigar rolling techniques and some practice would probably produce an acceptable result. good thinking (+). |
|
| |
Cigars are wrapped in tobacco leaves so there's no real barrier to entry there. The only real question is "Can one smoke rolled-up tobacco?" I say it doesn't matter because one could always shred a sheet of tobacco, then roll it inside another sheet. |
|
| |
All things considered, Zyban is a better choice. |
|
| |
liquorice papers exist, and i'm sure a company yused to market rolls of cigarette papers just can't remember who. |
|
| |
"advantages of this product= control over size " - why is this made of tobacco? Is the idea for big sheets of 'paper' so you can choose the size or for cigarette papers made from tobacco? |
|
| |
dobtabulous, the idea is not for an ordinary paper which you roll chopped leaf in, it is for a roll of paper that you can roll into a *cigar, basically, in the size of your choice. |
|
| |
Now I understand [monk] - the paper IS the thing you smoke not just the container for it. |
|
| |
I have often wondered whether, in the average roll-up, the paper or the 'baccy do the most damage to my lungs etc. I've never heard of any research on 'normal' papers. |
|
| |
There's a lot of information and equipment available for making your own paper at home. What I've seen requires a blender, a source of pulp (other paper for example) and a screen on which to dry the concoction. Maybe you could make tobacco paper from the loose tobacco used for rolling cigarettes. |
|
| |
But, I'm not going to try it. |
|
| |
Like phoenix, I doubt this would work - paper burns differently from flakes, and I suspect tobacco paper would burn too fast for an enjoyable smoke. But it's easy enough to make paper - have you tried? |
|
| |
you could probably get a nice pulp out of the tobacco leaves and mix it with your run of the mill pulp to control the burn rate to that of a standard cig. |
|
| |
Top Tip, if your making your own paper it's best to use a
sheet of glass to dry your paper on rather than a screen.
When the paper is still wet it can have a tendency to
stick to the screen. |
|
| |
I would think the largest factor in burn rate is surface area of a given cross section. In that case, all you'd need to worry about is paper thickness (thin = more surface area, burns faster). |
|

Re: "use a sheet of glass to dry your paper on rather than a screen" - I never had the sticking problem. The screen I used was actually a "spatter shield" used for cooking and is a very fine, flat, expanded metal as opposed to standard hardware cloth. It wasn't huge paper. Despite its fine holes the mesh was open enough though to let water drain out of the paper and expose the paper to air, thus aiding the drying process. |
|
| |
Not that I'm in favor of smoking, but this idea is interesting enough that I will contribute another thought. Watermark the "cigarette" brand in the paper? |
|
| |
where would you lick&stick? |
|
| |
good point, shinobi. if you didn't want to have to hold it together the whole time, maybe there could be a bar of some kind of gum on the top of the notebook, so when you run it across, it sticks. |
