McClintock Challenge
Posted by Matt on Monday, 25-Jun-2007
Bought 4 packs of Rollit papers and a can of McClintock FF. Gonna see if I can get the suggested 400 cigarette yield as advertised on the can.
I've been rolling my cigarettes at a 2/3 diameter of a regular smoke and I'm optimistic that I'll be able to get to 400 and more. Only about 3 packs into it and they haven't caused much damage with about an inch or so of a dent in the can.
The claim of "Makes 400 Cigarettes" is accompanied by a picture of couple of filtered smokes. Have any of you been able to stuff 2 cartons from a can of McClintock?

You should make 400 easy with your rolling criteria. Last tin of McClintock FF I bought, I believe I got about 350 MYOs with a bit of non-stuffable shake left over which I hand rolled. Don't recall how many I got from that....

Bebop's TOM made smokes simply had a bit more tobacco in them. All vegetative matter _shrinks_ when it dries, when water is removed from its cells. The moist/expand, dry/shrink aspect of tobacco is an insignificant non-issue.

Tobacco with the proper moisture content is springy, compress it and it will spring back. We want that kind of expansion. Tobacco that is too dry will crunch/collapse. Tobacco that is too moist is hard to stuff and doesn't burn as well/has less flavor. If your sticks are overstuffed/hard as rocks, you're using too much tobacco. The most common mistake is to use too much, and/or overly moist, tobacco.
