Homemade Tobacco Cutter

My mates homemade tobacco cutter that does a really good job at getting a nice fine cut for hand rolling cigarettes.

After the tobacco leaf is dried it is treated with a lttle flavouring & placed into the press for 24 hours (It can be stored in the freezer till your ready to cut)

It is then placed in the cutting machine and cut. The cut tobacco is then placed in the sun to air dry if needed

Rolling the tobacco in your hands gets it ready for rolling into cigarettes

@ 0:20 Watch your fingers!

Are you allowed to sell cigarettes you make yourself or the machinery you use? Or are there a ton of laws and regulations in your way? I'm guessing the latter but I'm just really curious.

Well done!

@loszhor The laws are complicated but from what i understand you can grow & sell tobacco leaf as long as its not for smoking (people use it as an organic pesticied).

You can grow it & process it as long as its for personal use & you dont sell it.

what are the advantages of using this tobacco instead of store bought? is it cheap?

[westiesworld4u]

@lilkapz With a 50gram packet of tobacco now selling for $50 NZD in the shops growing your own is becoming economically viable.

Growing your own tobacco organically and processing it yourself means there is no cancer causing additives in it.

i dont meen to go all health and safety on your ass and its not about what you think its about all the oil and shit on the machiene mixing with the baccy ?

[westiesworld4u]

@1Paddypower lol, I wondered if anyone would spot that. He usually uses a cooking oil and when my tabacco is processed i will make sure its done with hemp oil or coconut oil.

i love it

[pheenix42]

I'm impressed...looks like the prototype for a commercial machine! Even though I know tobacco is bad for you, a good job on making a machine for a specific task!

Have you considered a tobacco co-operative where several people would grow and process their own? Or, is your government down on ideas like that? (sure seems like that here...)
