In the early 60's my wife and I used to "roll our own" with a "ready roll machine" and we used what the hunkys called "bugga" a tobacco so strong that it was used both for chewing and pipe smoking by the Poles, Chechs, hunkys etal.
Rolling your own was the preferred method by most Americans until the late 20s and then they switched because smokes were so cheap {before taxes of any kind}.
Without filters, I presume. ;)
