Spec me: Rolling baccy

NVP · 23 Apr 2020 at 09:38

Dropping my B&H as I thought I'd try and save some money considering how ridiculously expensive cigarettes are getting.

I asked my friend what's good baccy, here's how the conversation went:

So I'd like some more informed suggestions please

Thanks

Anything but Old Holborn. The devils pube shavings.

GV was always my favorite and easy to roll.

Gold leaf is OK started using that as its fair bit cheaper than golden Virginia
As said old hoburn or drum not recommended lol

This is the best tobacco in the world, hands down:

I always used Golden Virginia before switching to Vaping. I switched about 5 years ago now and haven't smoked a roll up since I know it not for everyone but worth a go if you have not already.

Cost wise its about 40 quid a month for me, and I use it a lot. I probably smoked about 20 a day before.

Cutters Choice should be called Scrotters Choice. Choose GV original for dark tobacco and GV yellow for a lighter smoke. Amber Leaf if you really want to save £££s. AL is lower grade GV and CC is belly button fluff.

I smoked GV for many years and found it fine. Although I am on week 8 or 9 of vaping now and not touched any ciggy's at all. Although I did have to invest in a sub ohm vape to get the hit I needed.

Everyone round here smokes counterfeit Turner. Well not sure if it's counterfeit but the warning labels are in a different language.

Amber Leaf, used to smoke GV but always prefer AL as do a few others that i know. Comes with paper too!

Cutters Choice Original (not the extra smooth) was always my choice of smoke.

I picked up a pouch the other week when I started drinking again but haven't touched it since (also easing off the booze again after a couple of blowout sessions).

Golden Virginia is what I smoke nowadays. Used to smoke Old Holborn but they never have them at duty free on 10x packs, which are considerably cheaper than 5x packs, so after trying amber leaf and golden virginia found GV to be the smoother and better tasting.

Probably just duty free gear. My mums partner gets all his baccy duty free from a bloke in the pub. £100 for 8 X 50g pouches. UK price is £192.

Yep. They all dish it out here in the local pubs I (used to) frequent.

Having to pay through the nose for GV at the mo. Can't stand anything else they're all too dry.

I don't find gold leaf too dry and used to use golden Virginia before gold leaf
Though there's always the old shove potato peel in it if too dry trick

This, or a slice of apple works as well.

Yep
Have seen orange peel used too
Even bread by some people

Used to smoke golden Virginia but for some reason I went off it and started to prefer cutters choice. Its been that way since.

Worst by far is Drum I think if all I could get is drum I’d give it up very quickly.

Golden Virginia....but let it dry out a bit first
