"Now how I roll cigarettes by hand is by taking a paper, finding the fold, folding it again by quarters and give myself a nice clean pouch to add tobacco in. As with the machines, I'll evenly distribute the tobacco throughout the length of the paper even allowing some to fall off the sides. It's not really important how much falls out the sides considering you will be cleaning those off later. I place my two fingers together; my two thumbs together right in the center of the paper. I almost pinch my fingers together in a four point and roll the middle down feeling the tobacco compressing in the cylinder in between my fingers. I finish compressing the tobacco into the tube with the non-glued side paper on the bottom and gently roll under that edge and work it up in the cylinder up to the glue. Lick the glue strip and complete your roll. Clean the edges with a quick pinch. You've got a perfectly hand rolled cigarette."
