Subject: Cigarettes

  In PD #226 Mr. John Giunta had some thoughts about cigarettes
being 'lazy' and easy smokes. Well, I dont disagree (much) with
him but there are cigarettes and then there are cigarettes...
  I am a pipe smoker but also enjoys quite a lot of cigarettes;
hand rolled pure virginia, that is.  The taste is not far from
a good bowl of tobacco if you use the right tobacco. Thanks to
a web-friend in the US I have tried the 'Native American' rolling
tobacco which gives a very tasty smoke.
  About smoking: If you use the right paper and tobacco
you can leave the cigarette and after a few minutes the
fire has gone. This is only true if the tobacco and paper
does not contain chemicals to keep it burning like all
factory made cigs + a lot of rolling tobacco and -paper
do. The Rizzla paper sold in the US (and Denmark as well)
is OK but I have tried the same paper bought in Germany and
there was definitely added some chemicals to keep it burning.
  Another good rolling tobacco is the Danish 'Bali Shag' which
should also be available in the US. Clean, bright virginia
without chemicals.
  And I totally agree with Steve's comments to your letter:
all smokers should unite even though we don't agree about
what is the best smoke. BTW, with Mr. Giunta being a yoga
teacher: there's also a lot of 'Zen' in rolling 'the perfect
cigarette'!

Sincerly,
