Mildest rolling tobbaco?

izit · 22 Jul 2011 at 13:04

Can anyone give me a run down of the tastes/strengths of major brands?
I gave Old Holborn a try and today I have a really rough throat from just 1 filtered roll.

Golden Virginia/Golden Virginia yellow
Amber Leaf
Cutters Choice
Drum/drum gold
Gold leaf
Old Holborn

I used to smoke regal/embassy cigs (same make as GV) but wouldn't mind getting something even weaker since I only have 1 on odd occasions.

I know the health risks and cost.
Cheers

Old Holborn I find to be the harshist.
from soft to hard:
Amber Leaf
Golden V
Gold leaf
Cutter's choice
Drum
Old Holborn

Just my 2p.

Amber Leaf was pretty much the mildest when I used to buy it. I've not had all of your list, though, only GV, OH, Drum and AL.

I quite enjoy "American Spirit" it's supposedly additive free, might be worth a shot if you can find it near you. Apart from that I stick to Golden Virginia or Cutter's Choice.

Give GV yellow, Drum gold or Amber leaf a go.

Old man holborn is pretty much the strongest.

From working in a supermarket, I've only sold Amber Leaf to people who have few teeth.

Cutters Choice is best!

This. It's also fairly mild but has a fruity/zesty 'bite'. I've also tried B&H rolling tobacco this week which was fairly nice. It dries out fast, however.

this is going back quite a while but out of that list, drum gold / cutter choice.

ambers or cutters were like the silk cut of the rolling world when i smoked.

anything gold or yellow or green tends to be mild.
