    I really hate the new cigarettes that self-extinguish. My source for delay timer fuses now has to be self-rolled!

        How slow is slow fuse? Because the cigarette method was basically a 2 inch, 20-30-minute timer that was available at every corner store imaginable. You could vary the time by getting shorts, or 110s, and the filter was good at holding normal fuse in place.

          These days you can’t even get cigarettes at the supermarket or gas station anymore. At least in my country.

        That’s not NEARLY as slow as the cigarette method. The cigarette fuse was a 2 inch fuse for a 15-25 minute-ish delay.

        You need time to not have to RUN away from things, you need to be able to casually stroll away so you don’t draw attention.

        Rolled Cigarettes from pipe tobacco still works. I also love how you can tell the people replying to this with “Oh you can just [YouTube Video]!” – have never actually used the method I’m mentioning.

          No. It doesn’t. Pipe tobacco self-extinguishes even faster than cigarettes these days. Bogarting isn’t allowed any more.

              I’ve been doing that for years now - keeping the damn thing lit is as difficult as getting it lit in the first place.

              Still tastes much better than normal cigarettes, though.
