Hi there, i'm coming over for a year filled with fun and frollicks and this will be difficult for me if i have no 'rollies', i.e. home-made cigarettes, don't panic now, there's nothing other than tobacco in them, i just prefer them to taylor-made tabs/fags/ciggies.....how easy is it to purchase the components needed?(paper, baccy and filters)

From what I have seen, not too easy to find.

Roll-your-owns are usually cheaper in the Americas than tailor-mades.

However with ciggies being cheap in Korea, one of the purposes of roll-your-owns vanishes.

A friend of mine used to buy them a Lotte department store, but where in the store, I never really asked.

the cigar shop in the mall, second floor next to Hamilton Hotel in Itaewon carries Drum and papers

I`ve been here over 6 months and haven`t managed to find baccy anywhere! I have to get my mum (bless) to send a `batch` over for me when i`m out.

Can't you just rip the filter off and smoke it?

Break open a cigarette and compare it to some good rolling tobacco. Your cigarette will look like dried out wood and twigs compared to the lush, moist rolling tobacco.

I was a rollie maker in the UK for 10 years. I don't do it in Korea because ciggies are so cheap but it is a better smoke.

How much is the Drum?

Is there anywhere to buy rolling tobacco in Busan?

Also rolies will die of their own accord when lit, a cigarette won't.

Says a lot about how many chems they stick in fags.

The shop in Hamiliton Hotel has Bali Shag and Drum for 16,000 KRW. The packs have papers in them. The price went up from 12,000 KRW after September's crash.

I hear if you live in Busan you can ride the ferry to Japan and pick up your rollies.
