I haven't smoked a commercial ciggy for 2 years (that I can recall, I'm not sure about everything that happens when I'm wasted). But RYO has usually been smooth without a kick. That story changes a little when I smoked without a filter. However, I almost always smoke with filters.
The problem with roll-ups is that it's much easier to roll it without a filter, or you have to use a slim filter. I find neither of those appealing. Instead, I actually buy empty tubes with the filter and shoot them with a hand shooter (spoon-type, it's about half the size of my hand). Tubes/tobacco pouch/shooter, they're the whole reason I carry around a man purse since Irollshoot my cigarettes on demand.
As far as DIY goes, I forgot to take a picture of the Oak frame I built using 3"x3" wood, a hacksaw and deck screws, it's used to trap the tobacco while I press it. It's a woodshop disaster, I may photograph it later.
