Favourite rolling tobacco. That is a tough question.
My favourites aren't readily available in Dublin
You can't go wrong with the Javannse Jongens but I think I prefer El Pueblo. It's delicious and is produced with the same ethos as American Spirit (another tasty bkend), no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, as such, a humidor (as recommended by the esteemed OldGoat) is a requirement if you want to keep any in reserve.
The yellow drum referred to earlier is a nice blend of tobaccos, with practically no virginian tobacco.
The first rolling tobacco I bought was Old Holborne, I couldn't go back to it now. If I buy rolling tobacco in Ireland, I buy drum because I can't get the ones I want. It's hit and miss depending on where you buy it. My local shop does a roaring trade in it so it's always fresh whereas the GV I bought there was as dry as a camel's wotsit.0 -

Checked out Barry,s today, said they don't sell tins of rolling tobacco or rather,it's not sold in tins. My search continues.
Have to say smoking rollies is a much nicer with the tips, it was always a messy and not enjoyable smoke for me when I last smoked them,that was years ago,and my roach making ability was crap.I can see myself staying on them,I'll save a fortune:pac:0 -

Sorry man I didn't mean they sold baccy in tins. I meant you could buy a tin there and then transfer your baccy from pouch to tin. Misunderstanding on my part, hope it wasn't too far a trek in there.0 -

im using one of these http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/9288627.htm
keeps the tobacco fresh and i find that i just put enough tobacco in it to do me for the day , which is getting smaller by the day since i got it weird
plus i dont find myself when im out and about looking like a noob trying to open my plastic pouch skins in the mouth praying that theres no wind lol.
oh it also comes with a refillable lighter which i still have result.0 -

No apologies needed SteoL, was passing anyway, actually never thought to just ask for a tin
though he did say he had pipe baccy in tins,I'm not in pipe smoking mode at the mo though.
I'll check that out almanu,cheers.0 -
Cutter's choice all the way!
with green Rizlas and ultra slim filters... yum!
Amber Leaf if they're outta it and light blue Drum if there's none of that... although that really is a last resort.
Dark blue Drum and Golden Virginia make me feel really sick...
My friend gave me a brilliant tin so I can pre-roll and carry them out with me for when I'm too drunk/ it's too crowded to roll properly... 0 -

My personal favourite is Port Royal (mellowed with rum and wine), but it's not available over here. So smooth and such a mellow pleasant taste. You would almost eat handfuls of the stuff when the smell of a freshly opened packet hits you.
Of the commonly available commercial rolling tobaccos over here Cutters Choice would be my preference by a long way but unfortunately it's pretty hit and miss which shops it will be in, so my fall back is usually Golden Virginia as it's in every single shop and it's probably the best of the rest.
In terms of papers, when I can get them I use Raw translucent papers but most of the time settle for blue Swan or Rizla.
Can't stand Drum, don't know how anyone smokes the stuff. In other countries where the prices aren't set to be the same for all products Drum tends to be the cheapest you can buy anywhere. There is a reason.
Mmmm Port Royal I sooo miss this!
Use to smoke it in NZ. There was also a cheaper version of it I think it was called "Riverstone" again mellowed with rum. The BF of the time use to smoke what I think was called "Dragon" similar to Drum but much stronger, he found it similar to the pipe tabacco he use to smoke.
Choice of Taylor Mades and Rollies in this country is pretty poor. Couldnt get over how harsh they all where after oz and NZ (Which is saying something when I use to smoke Winfield Red 16mg on nights out.) I gave up on Rollies due to its poor quality and range of tobacco here!
Really do miss them, there is nothing like sitting down chillin out and rolling your own. Specially at a Barbie or by the bonfire!0 -
