rollies

Tobacco you twist

Rollies are hand-rolled cigarettes, as opposed to factory-made ones.

The term is common in British and Australian English: I'm out of rollies—got any papers?

Rolling your own is typically cheaper than buying packs.

The singular rollie refers to a single cigarette: He stepped outside for a rollie.
