I'll rate GV to 7 out of 10, it's not that bad but the taste is a bit strong for me. Next I'll try this Macbaren Kir Royal amd hopefully the taste is a bit lighter and smoother.

Came in a bag, in a plastic container sealed by foil

Anyways its light and smells like ammonia kind of but super smooth on the draw and prob the best a canadian can get but i havent tried Drum in 10 years also cant compare to NAS since ive only tried the ciggies

So- I just want to see everyone's consesus now that new flavors have come out, and while i love marlboro. It gets annoying to have to keep buying you know what i mean? So I wanna get a set up, that is easy, mostly sits out of the way and can do either kings or 100 sizes. Specifically, I am looking for flavors like Marlboro slates, reds, No.27. I like menthol flavors honestly, but I don't mind basic tobacco products and I'm willing to try every brand, every flavor of prepack if you have a particular brand you think I should try. I just tried Natural American Spirits blue last night, and honestly I was surprised at how good it was. My mom used to hate spirit cause they "tasted like ass" But yeah I'm looking into buying a setup that allows for storage, MYO, and bulk creation. I know you can use any basic tupperware but, I need to be a bit discreet with my containers, live with my girlfriend's parents right now. And they don't like smoking even though my girlfriend and her brother smoke. (I just don't wanna get caught with basically a small factory and get blamed for them smoking when they grabbed reds while I was at work and didn't tell me they were going to smoke.)

I have a question. Are there any Spanish rolling tobacco enthusiasts who know about this website：https://www.tuotroestanco.com

Is this a real and valid website, or is it a fake one

I wanted to see if it would be possible to smoothly inject moist pouch tobacco with a manual table top injector. I used Drum regular tobacco, Dark Horse Super Slim Extra Long Filter Tubes and a Chinese made table top manual injector like Scott's/Hermit Krab.

The injector was made for slim filter tubes, not for extra slim, it still worked though.

Cigarettes I made were not tightly packed, easy to draw and smooth. Maybe too smooth. The first cigarette took 4 minutes to smoke. I have a few bags of regular Ryback tobacco left, I think I will use them up this way because with regular filter tubes they are harsh in taste compared to many tobaccos.

People have warned me that Ryback is very high in nicotine and even stronger than an American Spirit Black of the same weight.

I’ve been smoking 1g worth of it in each ryo cigarette and I’m not really having that experience. Although it’s nice and strong in flavor, throat hit, etc, I feel as it is about the same for me (nicotine-wise) as smoking a Spirit Yellow or sometimes a Blue.

I’m very happy with it as I was worried that it would pack too much of a nicotine punch but seems just right.

Just wondering if anyone else has felt overwhelmed by the strength or have the same experience as me.

Hey there, i love the American Spirit tobacco the blue and yellow package but i'm curious about the other colours.

Was wondering what people think about the other american Spirits and what the differences are. Just cause maybe on my next trip I will be curious to try other ones.

The following content is from Google Translate.

I’d like to choose an American-blend pipe tobacco; could you give me some recommendations?

I got a pouch in Spain and it looks like they aren’t available in the USA. Any suggestions for getting them online?

why does the filter in my prerolled cigs turn into a darker brown whereas in industrial cigs it is a lighter brown?

thanks in advance :)

Swapped over to vaping after american spirits got up to around $14 where im at but it just isnt what im looking for anymore nothing about it entices me like a cig. If I wanted to start rolling my own what is the closest comparison to AS light green or your reccomendation on loose menthol tobacco and associated products?

I’ve thrown away about 3lbs of worthless Ohm crumbs. Super disappointed with it.
What brands offer you nice full bags of ribbons or strings with minimal crumbs? Please mention the size of the cut. Ohm I threw away bags of fine stringy “ribbon” and regular ribbon.
I have videos up if you’re curious.

I started rolling last month, since then I've gotten thru 2 golden Virginia gold's, it's a nice tobacco but I need something new, what tobacco do you guys recommend that I can access in Romania?

Today i rolled a mix of two tobaccos.
Fumo Peão Tradicional ( black tobacco), smells smooth, silk and rich dark chocolate with a hint of sugar. Very pleasant. Also mix with D’ora Golden Virginia, high quality Virginia very sweet (smell and taste).
It was one of my best mix so far, the impressive thing is that the Fumo Peão tobacco just cost me 1$ dollar for 30g bag lol

Hi everyone!

I'm in Norway and looking to start making my own cigarettes using filter tubes and an injection machine. I've been researching this quite a bit, but there's one major problem: we don't seem to have access to the expanded/volume tobacco that so many American MYO users recommend.

What we have instead is traditional European-style rolling tobacco, often quite stringy, sometimes fairly moist, and sold in small pouches.

Some examples of tobacco available here:

- Petterøes Original 3 and 4 (44g)

- Petterøes Light Blue 3 and White 3 (44g)

- Eventyr Original 3 (50g, medium cut)

- Gullsnitt 3 and Blå Strek 3 (50g)

- Tiedemanns Red and Yellow Mixture (44g)

These are ordinary rolling tobaccos, not expanded volume tobacco.

What I'm trying to achieve:

I'd like to make cigarettes that are as close as possible in quality to factory-made Marlboro Gold or Prince White: consistent filling, smooth draw, reasonable strength and flavour, and an even, preferably fairly slow burn.

I consider Winner Tip tubes which are standard filtered cigarette tubes sold here in Norway. Quote expensive though.

I would ideally like to make around 400 cigarettes (20 packs) in a session, while saving both money and time.

Machines I'm considering:

I've been looking at the manual Scotte crank injector, Hawk-Matic HK6 and Powermatic V+. Scotte seems particularly interesting because people say it handles different tobacco cuts without much preparation.

However, I would prefer an automatic machine if it can reliably handle our tobacco.

1. Which machine would you recommend specifically for traditional European rolling tobacco? Is Scotte actually a better choice than an automatic el injector when using long, fine-cut/shag tobacco?

2. How do you prepare this type of tobacco for injecting? I've seen people suggest fluffing and airing it out, cutting it with scissors, using a food chopper with short pulses, or sieving out the dust. What works best in practice without ruining the tobacco?

3. How do you get the best cigarette quality? I'm especially interested in the right amount of tobacco per standard king-size tube, avoiding overly tight cigarettes, empty spaces near the filter, torn tubes and uneven burning.

4. Does anyone here regularly use European rolling tobacco such as Drum, Golden Virginia, Pueblo or similar in a tube injector? I'd love to hear your exact setup and preparation method.

5. If you were starting from scratch with only regular rolling tobacco available, which tobacco cut, machine and preparation method would you choose?

I'm willing to invest in a good machine, but I'd rather not spend hundreds on something that only works properly with volume tobacco I can't buy.

I'm looking for the simplest, fastest and most reliable way to get consistently good cigarettes from what we can actually purchase here.

Any practical experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks from Norway!

Virginia BK 50%, burley 20%, DAC 15%, Orinoco 15%.

①Formula: Originating from Colombia, this is an additive-free American blend, completely free of artificial essence, belonging to the category of original American blend, not flavored tobacco

②- The smoke is dense, with a medium to strong intensity and a clear throat hit.

- Early stage: roasted herb aroma, subtle sweetness of dried grass, and a granular feel to the smoke;

- Middle stage: the characteristic richness of American blends;

- End stage: slight charred aroma, if the smoking speed is controlled well, it won't taste significantly bitter; if inhaled deeply and rapidly, it will have a spicy sensation.

③Currently priced at just over six euros, it offers excellent value for money and a great cost-performance ratio

④If you like Pueblo, this one is also a good choice

Hey everyone, thought I'd share my little journey here since we're all into the same thing.

I started smoking when I was 14. I know that's young, but ever since I was a kid, I was always curious about smoking. There was just something about the smell that fascinated me. I smoked commercial cigarettes for years and somehow went almost 10 years without touching Drum or RYO tobacco.

Now that I've come back to rolling my own, I honestly don't know how I forgot about it in the first place. I think I just got too caught up in the routine of everyday life. There's something about Drum that I especially love in winter. The smell reminds me of the earth, cold weather, and weirdly enough, the Harry Potter movies. I can't really explain it, but when I first opened the pouch, it was like a whole bunch of old memories came rushing back at once. It's crazy how a smell can do that.

I used to smoke a pack a day, basically one cigarette every hour. Over time, I managed to cut that down a lot, and now I feel like I have control over it. I can go months without smoking sometimes, and when I do feel like having one, I can enjoy it without feeling like I need another one right after. I can go five days between cigarettes, too.

I'm not planning to quit completely. For me, it's more about not letting it become a routine that controls my day. I just want to enjoy something I like on my own terms, rather than feel like I have to do it.

Anyway, glad to be back into RYO after all these years. Curious to hear if anyone else has a tobacco that brings back memories or a particular smell that just feels like winter to them.

I am satisfied with the purchase, this will make some great blends. The tobacco itself is quite strong, perfect for folks who like strong blends. It's not comparable to lemon or bright leaf which is kind of mild and boring, this tobacco has some kick and personally.

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share some pictures of a Brazilian rolling tobacco I’ve been trying: Mirage of the Mind.

It comes in a resealable zip-lock pouch, which is a nice touch for storage. The tobacco looks fairly fine-cut, with a light to medium brown color and some variation in the strands. I’m using Smoking Slim Long filters (22 mm).

After trying it, I found the aroma to be mild and slightly sweet, with a subtle earthy note. The tobacco feels reasonably moist without being overly wet, making it easy to roll and helping it burn at a steady pace. The draw is smooth, and the smoke is relatively light, with a balanced flavor that does not feel too harsh.

On the palate, I noticed gentle woody and toasted notes, followed by a faint sweetness. The finish is fairly clean and short, without an overly strong aftertaste. It is not an especially intense tobacco, so it may appeal to people who prefer a milder, more straightforward smoke.

Cheers! 🌿

I love the size of the papers that come with the packs of Peter Stokkebye RYO tobacco. I can’t seem to find anything other than zig zags and ez-wider around me.

I hand roll and for whatever reason I can’t seem to roll the typical straight cigarette style with zig zags. They always come out looking like joints. They also burn pretty unevenly, frequently canoeing. I also tend to like smaller cigarettes and I swear these other brands taste worse.

Could anyone suggest a better brand or an online shop?

Thanks! :)

The tobacco is nice and moist, plenty of lamina to stem ratio, it's just more work as the material is not nearly sorted, leaves are in pieces and broken stems. Definitely worth it for 45$ for 5lbs.

In the picture is about 1/3 of the 5lbs. cleaned up. I've got more to go. Once having removed all the stems and stem pieces it will be much more practical to weight and use when I need to make some blends. The tobacco is surprisingly dark, smells really good and smokes amazing once it's been aired out a bit. It's pretty strong by itself for a Virginia, it has a decent impact, throat hit and nicotine content.
