How to roll like a pro -

Step 1: Set the rolling paper down in front of you. Many rolling papers come with a fold. This fold is where the tobacco is going to nestle. The end with the glue or gum should be facing up and should be furthest from you.

Step 2: Prepare the tobacco. You’ll want about a gram and a half, which is a little bit less than a tablespoon. You’ll get a better feel for how much tobacco to use after you’ve rolled a few cigarettes. Some people prefer slimmer cigarettes or tightly packed, and the more you roll, the more you’ll start to figure out your own preference.

Step 3: Distribute the tobacco evenly, so that when you’re done rolling, there’ll be just a couple of strands poking out the sides. You may find that when you roll a cigarette, you end up pushing the tobacco in the middle out to either edge. That means you’re not using an ideal rolling method, but you can compensate for this by putting just a bit more in the middle of the cigarette.

Step 4: Now we start rolling. Pinch the paper above the part where the tobacco is nestling and use both thumbs to roll downwards on the edge closest to you. The goal is to roll the cigarette in such a way that the tobacco will be tightly packed (to give an even burn and a good draw), which means the rolling paper should wrap tightly around the tobacco. Roll it back and forth a few times to get the tobacco well-packed and to start shaping it into a cylinder. If you’re including a filter, now’s a good time to position that filter at the end of the cylinder.

Step 5: Once the cylinder feels tightly and evenly packed, you can lick the glue to seal the cigarette. Now all you need is a lighter!

Step 3: Slide in a sheet of rolling paper into the machine, glue side up and facing you. It may take a few tries your first time, but you’ll get it.

Step 4: Roll the apron towards you again, until only the strip of glue is sticking out.

Step 5: Lick the strip of glue and roll the apron towards you a few more times to seal it up.
