I have been rolling my own ~J~'s for ten years and have never put tobacco in it. I know if you buy or have a grinder and grind your bud nice and fluffy it will burn great. most people that roll and have trouble burning it evenly are rolling it to loose or it looks pregnant after they roll it . just do that and keep practices and get all the stems and seds and spider eggs out if you are smoking shwag ~J~'s
