Title: How to pay yourself to $21 per hour to smoke

Suppose you smoke one pack per day.

365 packs divided by 10 = 37 cartons.

The average price per carton in my area is $45.

That is $1665 per year.

You will pay more if you buy them by the pack. But I'll use the carton price.

Now, if you make your own:

1 lb = $10 = mild pipe tobacco. You will get more than 2 cartons out of 1 lb, but I won't count the extra. Consider it a bonus.

A years supply @ 1 pack per day is 19 lbs = $190

A cartons worth of tubes = $4. A years supply of tubes = $148

TOTAL COST = $338

Total SAVINGS = $1327

It takes me 10 minutes of lackadaisical effort to make a pack. So a years worth in time is (10x365)/60 is 60 hours per year.

For each hour you make your own cigs, you pay yourself $21 per hour. MINIMUM.


Poster Comment:

And to those that say "save it all and quit smoking", I tell you to fuck off. Everyone has a vice. I'll give up my vice when you give up trying to molest little kids.

I have been making my own in this fashion since 2000. I am now down to only making 2 cigs a day because I have switched to the e-cigs for health reasons. With even the e-cigs if one should go this route, purchasing bottles of e-juice to refill the cartrigdes has even more cost savings than filling tubes with bagged tobacco. Now, if I could make my own booze, I would have all my vices covered.

I made my own wine. Once. When I was about 18 or so.

used blackberries and who knows how much sugar I dumped into the watercooler sized container. It was a lot.

I let it ferment for some time. Then I filtered it.

Then I drank a bottle.

Then that very night I decided to never get drunk again. And I haven't.
