Top-O-Matic T2 Update

Back in January, I started using a Top-O-Matic T2 tabletop cigarette injector.  After fourteen weeks of daily service, this machine has injected around 10,000 cigarettes (mostly with Cherokee, Riverside and 4 Aces pipe cut tobaccos and Windsail, Ramback, and Premier tubes) and has proven reliable and robust.  Most of these cigarettes have been King Sized but a carton of 100s was made without any difficulty.  Thus far, only a few  torn and improperly filled tubes (perhaps one quarter of one percent) have been experienced.  These have been due to operator error rather than any fault with the injector and most were salvaged. 

The Top-O-Matic T2 Tabletop Cigarette Injector: A Great Machine at an Exceptional Price

Back in 2009, due to both the bleak economy and draconian excises, I started making my own cigarettes. Initially, I injected tubes with a Premier Supermatic Twin hand held injector with varying results that were at best less satisfactory than factory made cigarettes. It was not long before I found that a roller provided me better cigarettes and, with the exception of a brief and equally dismal affair with another hand held inector from Gambler, I continued to laboriously roll my own-- until last week.
