Chiefly British slang for a hand-rolled cigarette. Rolling your own tobacco is a long-standing tradition in the UK, both for cost savings and personal preference, and the term rollie (sometimes spelled rolly) is the affectionate shorthand smokers use for the result. You'll hear it in pubs, on street corners, and in any conversation where someone asks if they can cadge a smoke.
He leaned against the wall outside the pub, licking the edge of a rollie before sparking it up.
