    Hi guys,

    I just bought the yellow packets from E-Tobacco. Great stuff! But I had the red/maroon coloured pack before and it was mind-blowing. How come I can find the red/maroon organic blend?

    i must have a look for an online american based supplier
    for some of the other types of tobaccos

    Smoked a few cartons of them. Got them off a friend whose parents insist on bringing them to him from the duty free. Very bland imo. Ended up mixing them with the Marlboro Gold because they just weren't satisfying to me. Like the idea of organic and all, but I think the established brands have survived so long because they blended a better smoke.
    American Spirits also take almost twice as long to smoke as mentioned above. Not sure if it's the lack of chemicals or a denser filter. Dense filter would explain some of my "issues" with them. They're not awful or anything, just couldn't switch to them full time.

    Anyone know which variety is the strongest rolling tobacco?
    Type Package Color
    Original Blend Cyan
    U.S. Grown Blend Royal Blue
    Organic Blend Maroon
    Perique Blend Black
    Menthol Green
    I tried it previously and liked it. Only problem is it smells pretty unusual and the people around me always gave me dubious stares. Wouldn't be so bad if they weren't rollies, I suppose.

    What did you think of the american spirit tobacco????
    I was thinking of getting it from the same site. Then I noticed they sell Pall Mall rolling tobacco. I normally smoke Pall Mall red so I was thinking of going for the rolled version of the same smoke!!!

    I was thinking about quitting, or at least cutting down. So I've decided if I am gonna smoke ever again, I want it to be completely natural! So I was wondering, would any of you know where you could get a few packs of American Spirit? I don't wanna buy 100€ worth, any suggestions? Or failing that, is there any other 100% organic tobaccos available here?

    Many thanks :)

    sorry i missed your reply

    i LOVE american spirit
    and the fact that its additive free makes it even better
    b&h or samsom was my cigarette brand but i just cant smoke them anymore, i tend to feel a bit sick after a packet
    and when i do run out of american spirit i just get a mix of amber leaf or golden virginia

    Hey , I haven't been able to find American spirit tobacco anywhere in the ROI. I know that it's sold in Asda in Enniskillen because I've bought it there before. I couldn't find it in Newry when I was last there. I'm thinking about trekking up to Enniskillen from Dublin tomorrow but it's a bit of a trek for tobacco. I only smoke once in a while and I like to smoke this stuff because it doesn't sicken me like regular tobacco does. Does anybody here know if it can be bought somewhere in Dublin or even Drogheda?. I know from talking to people and seeing people rolling with it after bringing it back from abroad that there would be enough of a demand for it for the shops to stock it.

    There have been a number of threads here about this already.

    A forum search of 'american spirit' gives you these results.

    Anyone know where to buy pouches of American Spirit rolling tobacco in Dublin? I saw it in Tesco years ago but nowhere else. Lately I've seen a few people out rolling with it.

    Lucky Strike tobacco either, but I'd say I could only get that abroad :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 330 ✭✭mongdesade


    Not available in the 26 counties AFAIK, I usually head across to Newry when my Lanzarote stash runs out :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,746 ✭✭✭✭The Hill Billy


    As this is a recurring topic (& people aren't using the search function :() I've merged any American Spirit threads that I could find into this one.

    Not in the Republic I'm afraid, I've looked all over Cork, Dublin, Waterford, smaller towns. Don't know why the newsagents or tobacconists don't stock it, it's common enough on the continent.
