Lads, do you know any decent tobacco brands? I'm bored of my own, pic related. (is there actually much of a difference between them or am I just being tricked by the tobacco companies?)
I'm a terrible roller as well, having just started a couple of months back, so I guess i'm looking for something that is easy to roll with. Any thoughts?
My dad has always been very dismissive of the rolling tobaccos of the modern age. He used to smoke Nosegay, apparently he'd roll one before bed and says that waking up and smoking it was a powerful hit.
I prefer milder tobacco by a large margin. I smoke Golden Virginia, like >>6218's granddad and seemingly everyone else I know these days. The closest analogues to my dad's smokes of choice, when I was still interested in shopping around, as a teenager, were Old Holborn and Woodbines. I have no idea if either are still around, but if they are I have no interest in ever smoking them again.
I tried snuff tobacco a few times. I honestly cannot conceive how anyone could get addicted to that stuff. I have a tiny tin box of it in a drawer somewhere, and I will never get any enjoyment out of it.
American Spirit 'all natural' tobacco is pretty good. I find it considerably better than the usual standbys of Drum, Golden Virginia, Amber Leaf, Cutter's Choice, etc.
This is my favourite. It's very dry (stick a but of lettuce in the packet to fix this), but it has a great flavour. Smoking GV afterwards is like inhaling tarred rope.
Cutter's choice is my fave, although I get Golden Virginia cheap. It's fucking mank, but an order of magnitude better than Drum, and again than Old Holbourn. (-born? Don't recall.)
In other news, I've taken to pre-rolling my fags (by hand). Look at this shit and know envy.
I like to leave it a little loose to let the air in. I hate having to suck a fag like a McDonald's milkshake. Plus, if the baccy's too dense it keeps going out.
