Ask ten rollers how tight a cigarette should be and you'll get ten different answers. The truth is there's no single right answer — it depends on the leaf, the paper, and what kind of draw you prefer.
The Tight Roll
A tight roll burns slower, stays lit longer in wind, and produces a more concentrated flavour. With unprocessed leaf like Ounce28, a tight roll showcases the earthy depth of the tobacco without harshness.
The Loose Roll
A loose roll gives an easier, cooler draw. It burns faster but the airflow keeps the temperature down. The risk is an uneven burn or the cigarette going out mid-smoke.
Finding Your Pack
The sweet spot is a roll that offers slight resistance. With Ounce28's whole-leaf tobacco the leaf shreds evenly, packs without clumping, and holds its shape. Start with a medium pack and adjust from there. The perfect roll is personal. Find yours.
