    Enjoy them while they last. Only lasted a couple of weeks for me. Get one every now and then if I go a long time without a smoke and have one too quick. Samson is by far the best rolly imo.

    Sure if you said it's like having a few pints on ya then whats the problem? If you smoke sitting down that'll make them happen more just so ya know.

    1. Drum
    2. Old Holborn
    3. Golden Virgina
    4. What is left in the ashtray
    Am I the only who refuses to believe that Duma= Dutch Drum

    Also watch out for the fake Old Holborn being sold in corner shops in the UK, easy to spot as the tape is a difference colour

    :eek::eek::eek:
    I remember doing that in times of desperation, get all the fag butts out of the ashtray, get the tobacco in them together and make rollies out of it.
    Desperate stuff altogether:D

    My favourite tobacco is DeMorian from LIDL in Germany, E3.40 for 40g of the stuff.
    I am proud to state that the Irish state has never gotten a penny of me, I refuse to support that type of theft, kiss me arse, not in a month of Sundays.
    And it is legal to fly over there as much as you want and bring back as much as you want, as long as it's for your own personal consumption. Because you bought it for yourself in another EU country and have paid duty on it at the point of sale.
    It's enshrined in EU law.

    I'd be going over anyway to visit the family.
    So, 25g tobacco here about E8
    40g Tobacco in Germany E3.40.
    I usually buy 20-30 packs, smoke about a pack a week, so it costs me less than E200 a year.
    Buying the same amount of tobacco here would cost nearly E900, I'm saving so much money I couldn't possibly afford to quit!;)

    I'm on Amber Leaf at the moment, but I like dark blue Drum too. I mightgive Golden 'Vagina' a try too in the future. Amber Leaf for the moment though.

    Was thinkin of switchin t orollin tobaco myself.

    How much is a pouch?

    I've always understood it can work out cheaper, plus I like the idea of rollin my own. I waste a hell of a lot of cigarettes not finishing them when I don't really want a full one. So being able to roll lots of small ones would save me a fortune.

    12.5g (last me a day same as a normal pack of smokes) is €4 to €4.50 and usually comes with 50 papers

    25g €8-8.50

    Buy your stuff abroad, when I'm in Germany I usually bring back 20-30 pack of tobacco, the stuff in LIDL costs E3.40 for 40 gram, that a quarter of the Irish price.

    Anyone try the Turner stuff going around the last month in town, it's not a bad smoke. Prefer it to GV.

    My favourite is blue old holborn. After that, I'd usually go for Golden Virgina followed by dark blue Drum. I'm not keen on Amber Leaf, I find there's a funny after taste from that tobbaco.

    I got a pouch of Golden Virginia recently, out of necessity as it was all the shop had left, and it's quite unlike any tobacco I've tried before, in a good way. I might switch to it after my 50g bag of Amber Leaf's exhausted.

    You mean you can get Old Holborne other than blue (original) in Ireland???

    Recently started rolling. I bought a 25g pouch of Drum. I'm a B&H smoker for 4 years and I can't stomach these. Gonna start exploring around to see whats the best. Also, why does everywhere seem to not sell filter tips??

    Jaysus, tis on the rare occasion that I'd walk into a shop that didn't sell filters. However, it has happened on a few occasions that some shops were out of ultra slim.
    Slim just ain't good enough!!!

    Benson and Hedges rolling tobacco, I buy it any time I visit Asda along with water melon bacardi breezers and lipton peach tea powder. I feel like a classy bird at the checkout.

    I'm pretty sure I remember seeing old holborn tobacco in a yellow pack while I was working in a shop a few years ago. I don't know if it's still available in Ireland now or not.

    I am a recent convert to rollies, have been smoking B&H for 15 years I suppose. I am currenlty smoking Drum, which I am enjoying.

    Is the B&H rolling tobacco availble anywhere else but Asda? I'd love to give it a swirl - there is a serious lack of the colour gold in my life now!:)

    Only started smoking rollies last Saturday. First pack was yellow Golden Virginia. I was only smoking this in work as I was eating the smokes all day.

    Left the pack in work and got a pack of Cutters Choice for at home. Still testing out the brands. I don't know what to get next???

    My Regular smokes are Pall Mall Red. I still have the same pack I get on Saturday as the rollies are keeping me going.

    One quest for the rollie smokers!!!
    I have started to notice my fingers going yellow from smoking the rollies, and this is only over 3 days. Never had this before with regular smokes. Is there any way to avoid this???
