Sorry, I been toying with this way longer than 2 years,

I wonder why nobody has done it yet?

In 1988 I was retiring and considering buying a tobacco shop. I was going to try it there if I could find a small machine (Which I did). Problem was, it only made unfilterd cigs, about 200 a minute. Most people do not know that ready roll cigarettes were hand rolled, mostly by women until the invention of the cigarette rolling machine.

I even went to the trouble of reasearching the invention of the cigarette machine and how they were producing them now. figuring up cost and all that stuff.

The process of making and packaging a quality finished product soon became very complicated (for me anyway).

It seems like someone with a manufacturing/production background in this industry could make a lot of money.

Kickback?? I will always ask for money, asking don't cost anything. It's the gettin' thats the hard part.

So have I, blue; just mentioned it here a couple years ago. I think nobody has done it because times just haven't gotten bad enough yet.

Same here. Even looked at the patent drawings for commercial machines to see if they could be modified for a home machine. Unfortunately, I'm just not very mechanical that way.

Reading the messages on some forums, I've noticed a lot of interest from different folks in China in used commercial machines. There's a Canadian machine that supposedly makes 100 cigarettes at a time, made for smoke shops, but the managers of the smoke shops I've talked to weren't really interested in encouraging RYO. I think they're pretty short-sighted, but what can ya do?
