Switching from John Player Blue to rollies

    I wonder could someone help me with this? I've wanted to switch to rollies for a while now but I haven't been able to find a tobacco that is similar in taste to John Player Blue.

    I've tried Drum but found it far too strong if I had more than two! Has anyone made the change from Johnny Blues and which tobacco did you switch to?

    Thanks! :)

    I find amber leaf to be a nice mild smoke. You may as well try it. It's only 4.30 for a 12.5g pouch (papers included) but I can't recommend filter tips enough! Swan are too thin, but rizla seem just about right!

    Drum for me was the nearest to JPB when I switched.

    +1 on the filter tips - makes it a lot more enjoyable.

    I used to smoke JPB and initially switched to Drum. Then started using Golden Virginia which is a lot nicer. Much easier to roll too - Drum is like rolling twigs in comparison.

    I think I'm going to have to do some trials here! Will definitely try the Rizla tips though! Thank you! :)

    Old Holburn I found was the nearest, though I just got 250g's of Drum for 8 quid off a mate. He got it in the duty free in Dubai, so I'll be smoking that for awhile now.

    I switched from Benson to Samson and eventually transisitioned into Amber Leaf. Amber Leaf is very mild and easy to smoke, also get some bull brand filters and you're flying!
