Videos like this are a reminder that money is not so easy to come by for everyone. Bidis are sold really cheap even in the market, so these people have to make hundreds of them to make any meaningful money on any given day.

In high school, i would buy these from the Arab store and smoke with my friends.

Amazing watching those people work so fast

Amazing skill

its strange how aggresivley she rolls the leaf without it breaking or ripping

Hardworking, honest and people of moral

What a workflow and precision

My friends mother would live in India during the English winter and bring these back in spring. Surprisingly good with a beer. 🍺

Bless these people, they work hard to sustain themselves and their families!

I have smoked bidi cigarettes before. Not bad at all.

we used to smoke them in greece too sometimes it's been many years now 80 90 and even before i remember they always had a taste as if it was laurel we are supposed to be modern

Seen these in London a few times. Interesting method. Great content

traditional cigarettes were rolled with rolling paper / unfiltered. these are beedi's not cigarettes. there are other things mixed in beedis besides tobacco and the leaf they roll it in is also not tobacco.

Great good work

Very interesting video 🙏

rollin joints all day.

I seen somebody else said it and I have to say it too I remember these in the 90s in high school you could get them in the mall they had a little red string tied around them

Those look so dang good. I'd buy some for sure.

Much admiration to all Indian workers making any product

impressive rolling skills :0

What's the string the lady rolling was using? Is it just regular string or coated in wax maybe? I'm just curious because it doesn't look like she actually ties the string around the cigarettes, looks like it's just a quick twist and it holds. Super cool video, you guys have some real skill 🔥

My grandpa is also purchases tender for beedi leave buying forest for it becoz it has so much earning Before 6 years I remember when. They tookit

Bet thats some good Tobacco rolled with leaf ,, Mis Lady was knocking them out 👍
