I've been a 3+ pack a day smoker for 35+ years. Haven't had a smoke for 45 hours.

Jesus man rolling pipe tobacco?!?!? That's like the "mainlining" of smoking.
I would be remiss if I didnt mention that Lori had quit altogether after 35 years. Nothing but air goes into her lungs! Smoke free for over 6 years. We did Champix(very similar to US Chantix) and although it works it MESSES with your mind.
I saw Collective Soul at a small venue, great show!
No, it's not 'main lining' lol. It's a light tobacco, and ultra light filters. I have a rolling machine, I can make 2 packs in about 10 minutes. I always make mine 'loose'.. not really packed tight with tobacco. *Correction*.. I USED TO make mine that way, lol.
Funny thing is, after I started rolling my own with 'pipe' tobacco (they call it that to get around the tax laws. It is a longer cut, but whatever), I hacked a lot less than smoking over the counter stuff like Marlboro's or whatever. I think there's a lot less chemicals in these 'mom and pop' tobacco sellers. Still need to get the hell off them though.
