How much profit could you make from selling cigs you rolled yourself?

sds: How much profit could you make from selling cigs you rolled yourself?
I don’t smoke, never will or have, I only wish to sell. From what I am reading, you can buy 1 lb of tobacco for around $ 20. Now, I can’t imagine the rolling paper being too expensive, and rolling machine may cost a bit of money but whatever. Is rolling my own cigarettes and selling them a little bit cheaper than the store a good business move as far as profit is concerned?

Who would buy them? No one would no the conditions under which they were made. I don’t know if you need any licenses from the state or local government either. I see that cigarettes have a stamp on them so there are taxes to pay. . .

Hi,
Machine is about $ 50.00, bag of tobacco & pre made cig tubes will on average cost 1.50 per pack to make. As others said you can’t just sell, you must pay state taxes, the packs aren’t sealed etc. Just like someone going to another state to buy cigs at a cheaper price to bring back & sell is illegal.
You can buy & make them for yourself (which you state aren’t doing) but they can’t be sold. Also there are various types of tobacco, regular cig tobacco costs more than pipe tobacco but i think they make blends that can work for cigs but labeled pipe tobacco.
