In this case is it hyphenated. "Hand-rolled" is hyphened because it's acting as a compound modifier, since both words are joined to describe the cigarette.
Any two or three word adjective should be hyphenated ONLY when used as an adjective. Example, "It was his thirty-second birthday." "There was a thirty second delay in rebroadcasting Carl's speech."
Depends on how you use the word. For example, you can use it if you are writing a hyphenated modifier: "She had that I'm-going-to-try-not- to-laugh-right-now face." But you can't hypenate the word when: "She had a terrible-laugh." ---> "She had a terrible laugh."

21st is usually hyphenated when spelt. Dictionaries list it as 'twenty-first'. However, as a book/article title, or in company names, it is sometimes written as Twenty First ... as in 'Twenty First Century Poets', but, as this could be interpreted as meaning a book about 1st century poets, a hyphen would remove any ambiguity e.g. written as 'Twenty-first Century Poets' or 'Twenty-First Century Poets' (unless, of course, the book is actually about 1st century poets, in which case a better title would be 'Twenty First-Century Poets'!)
The possessive form for the plural noun suspects is suspects'.Example: We have uncovered the suspects' hideout.

Hyphenating is a matter of choice and what makes a sentence clearer; rules about hyphens leave some room for a writer's own judgment. For example, the question, 'Is one half hyphenated?" could be read as, 'Is one-half hyphenated?", or 'Is one half-hyphenated....' (A half-hyphenated what?). It is an oversimplified example, but it doesn't take much to confuse. Another example, 'English language learners...'; is this people from England learning a language or learners of the English language. The use of a hyphen, makes it clear, 'English-language learners...'The purpose of hyphenating is to overcome ambiguity.
A cigarette
An apostrophe means one of two things - either you're leaving out some letters (like can't means cannot or doesn't means does not) or you are indicating possession.

An example sentence would be something along the lines of "The suspects' belongings are at the police desk."

It simply depends on what the proper nouns in question are. For example, if it's a joined last name, like Rodriguez-Jones, then of course it's hyphenated. It has nothing to do with whether or not it's a proper noun.
