I always ask for things like that very loudly. Just for the benefit of the kids.

Ayah. What if nobody cares.
I’m surprised at this *native* maine author ...b/c in reality, nobody in Maine cares what you are wearing, or if you are tan or not. Nobody.

Unless you specify that you want to bum a ‘store rolled’ cigarette from your buddy, you’re likely to be offered a Band-Aid® box filled with hand rolls. At $7 a pack, smokers in Maine roll for an hour or so after supper every night.

Papers, I buy buglers by the 24 count box and tobacco five pounds at a time.

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}.

“’store rolled’”
Or ‘tailor made’ is the common expression...

Why should they care about a legal product being sold? And how can I get a job writing about nothing? I mean the writers for Seinfeld had the greatest job in the world. They blew it on the last episode though.

Me too - until I quit 20 years ago.
Didn't use a machine - rolled 'em the old-fashioned way.
Would drive my boss nuts 'cause the butts in the ashtray looked like roaches.

Glad I saw your post because I thought this was about rolling reefers.

I vaguely remember hearing my mother tell of a neighbor woman who rolled her own smokes and could do so using just one hand.
Back around 1970, I tried rolling my own cigarettes about 4-5 times. I am usually pretty good with my hands, but it was a disaster.
Gave up the habit 4 years later, thank heavens.

I believe you.
And, from what I have observed, hair care products and services are not available to gray-haired boomer women in Maine.

Heh. Blue-hair ladies are too busy canning & preserving this time of year and knitting sweaters for the winta; making blueberry pies.
There's one hair salon in Bangor, that I know of... it may be the only one in all of Penobscot County ...in Mabel's living room.
