Ok guys I'm a newbie but I really would like to start rolling and the equipment looks way cheaper than any other of my hobbies (RC aircraft & Firearms). I'm Just having a limited amount of vendors come up when I do a google search. I'm coming across maybe 3-5 but not all of them carry tools. Leafonly and wholesale leaf seem to be the ones that have a few things for sale but I was kind of hoping for more options. Anyone have any suppliers they recommend for tools , leaf etc?
Thanks guys!
LO and WLT have pretty much very thing you need. There a few other retailers that sell some odds and ends but those listed are primary sources for many of us. Check out fairtradetobacco.com for more sources on rolling.
You don't really need a lot of equipment and supplies - it's mainly manual. I would recommend as a minimum:
Kulu knife - you can get on Amazon
Big cutting board - anywhere
Molds - LO and WLT, plus there's a guy that @GDaddy and I have used - Don, do you have the guy's e-mail? I'll look for it as well.
I mostly use home-made molds that I cut out of 3/4" PVC, and hose clamps.
Cigar glue
Cigar scissors
Leaves - WLT and LO sell starter kits which are a good a starting point as any, in terms of selecting leaves to blend.
& watch lots of youtube videos on the subject. @GDaddy has made some good ones, as have a few others.
Good luck, & don't be bashful about asking questions. I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say we'd like to help smooth out the learning curve for you.

Now I feel like my Search engine prowess was pathetic. Thanks a lot guys for the info!
I'm the type that when I start something I try to gather as much info as I can and when I looked into rolling it immidiately intrigued me. The opportunity to make my own flavors and experiment with different blends has me full steam ahead :cowstogie:
