I’m not picky
just don’t use the gummed part. 
You roll your own tobacco?
ya, still do
No but I use to grow it… and have threatened to roll my own on occasion.
(cigarette papers can be used to check the pad seating on things like oboes)
and any other keyed woodwind
or
and clean sticky pads
Anyone who can get a sound out of an oboe that’s vaguely in tune has my deep respect. I can make a pretty darn convincing predator call; that’s about it.

Sam Houston piled up the Wind River Range with stones and dirt he dug out to make the Rio Grande valley. He piled the debris all the way up here because he didn’t want the resulting mountains to interfere with cattle drives down in Texas.
Man, I never should have made that resolution. I’m just a music teacher, for cryin’ out loud!

from Stuart Dunkel, I hope. The idea is to make the reed work for you, not twist yourself up to meet the reed on its own terms. (little basmati’s- all o them! flay them into submission !:twisted: ) I’m sure there’s good advice on the oboe board 
Why does that ruin your reputation? 
Mr Izz buys them all of the time because he rolls his own cigarettes…does it mean he has a bad reputation? If so, maybe then I can blackmail him into letting me buy the zills 
oh Izz!
you can only blackmail those with a good reputation 
Oh…I hadn’t thought of that. 
You know, Denny, you really do know how to take the fun out of everything!
thank you
'glad I could help
Didn’t your mother ever teach you that you should never take away a girl’s fun? It’s like almost blasphemous or something…sort of.
ya know, now that you mention it, she was not good at that kind of thing…
my only sibling being a younger sister probably didn’t help either…
In these parts they sell a LOT of cigarette papers- and not for rolling burley.
Hey, I just had an idea- take two home canning lids and tape them on your fingers with something really awful looking like black electrical tape. Bang those things together anytime he’s around- act really pitiful- you know the drill, pour it on. Maybe he’ll take pity or be irritated enough by the racket to let you get some zills.
Thanks for the tip on Stuart Dunkel reeds. No, I did not go that good just yet. But if I get this thing adjusted and playing ok, those will be the next ones I try.
'Course, once you’re making your own reeds, the next step is to wade out into the marshes and cut your own cane.
It’s a little known fact that most of the great oboe players are also avid duck hunters.
