DUAL PURPOSE Dual purpose tobaccos can be smoked in a pipe or rolled into a cigarette. This will be about a 50% savings over regular cigarette rolling tobaccos. They can be used in any tube injector or hand rolled. The main reason people are switching to these tobaccos are the Federal tax that was imposed on cigarette tobaccos. Dual purpose tobaccos increased from $1.10 per pound to $2.83 per pound. Cigarette tobaccos increased from $1.10 per pound to $24.78 per pound.
