Bull Durham

I just found a 1/2 empty/full pouch (with drawstring). I smoked that stuff in the '70's and onward. Very tasty. Downside was it was in 'flake' form and not string. Dryer than a popcorn, phart, but Tasty. No longer made, and I no longer smoke, but the memory of that stuff has tempted me. Check your old cowboy movies.
 
Smoked Bull Durham after I got out of the Army in 73. Went back to work at a prestressed concrete plant as a swamper for a overhead crane that I also drove when needed. Made a big $1.75 an hour, couldn't afford packs of cigarettes with a wife and kid. Got pretty good at rolling them but it was tricky on windy days.
 
When I got out of hi school in 1960 I worked for a farmer in the area. He would try and roll a cigarette while driving. Most of it ended up in his lap. He was all over the road, by the time he was done rolling it. Stan
 
I remember bags of Bull Durham hanging from the dash switch for the windshield wipers on the old farm truck, for wiping the inside of the windows to prevent fogging.
 
never tried to smoke hand rolled cigarettes unfiltered Camels also had done the Beechnut or Red man or Skoals.
bad thing to do
 
I collect stuff like that.

Back in the 60's during a summer job I worked with an older WW2 airforce vet who used to roll his own, not Bull Durham but the regular stringy tobacco. He said a real cowboy can roll a Bull Durham cigarette ...... on horseback ------ one-handed ...... at a full gallop ..... in a windstorm. Pauses between each part as he went along, it used to get lots of laughs from the young guys on the crew.
 
A hand rolled cigarette was called a quirley according to an old cowboy I knew years ago. Anyone else ever hear it called that?
