Did he use to sit on the bumper of old beat up car behind a old haveli and used to smoke beeris?

That might be another play then. His character in Karawaan was very poor to even afford a beat up car But he smoked a lot in that serial.

well there are local home made ones - you see all these old men and women sitting around chatting and rolling beedees. but the big commercial brand names where i come from is Kaja beedi and dinesh beedi. Kaja has its own wiki page. Kaja Beedi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dinesh beedi is a cooperative society, and its mostly women who roll beedis for them.

My Dadi also used to help my dada in his BeeRi business and she knew how to make BeeRi

SO I guess the main diff between Cigar and Beeri is that Cigar is tobacco rolled in tobacco leaf, whole beeri is just rolled tobacco leaf.

Re: BiRee or Huqqa

no man, it is filled with snipped up tiny pieces of tobacco leaf too. it is technically a cigar.

no…my friend in my village used to make beeRii as a profession…he still makes beeRiiyaaN…he uses leaves from a certain tree grown in Jabalpur area of India. a small amount of chopped tobacco leves is rolled in leaves and pinched in on one side [the wider end] and tied by a thread on the other thinner end.

Re: BiRee or Huqqa

I’ve had “paan” a few times, but I am not really keen on tobacco, desi varieties or otherwise, because an uncle, who used to be a chain smoker, got lung cancer so I know it’s NOT worth the trouble.

BTW someone mentioned ‘bhang’ here. I have heard that the halwa poori you get from modest dhaba-like places sometimes contains bhang. I wonder if that’s true.
