Java ...Oriental?
Posted by dave z on Saturday, 05-Apr-2008
Not sure where to put this, but was curious if anyone knows whether Java is considered an Oriental leaf or some other? I know its a component in Jester and Indo Shag, as well as some cigars. Other than the grades and a few different varieties, I found very little info on this type. Any info would be appreciated. :))

Fill Me In
Posted by Phillip on Saturday, 09-Feb-2008
Ok, so i just started making my own cigs. I got some Ramback Gold and some papers, filters, and a machine. The rolled cigs are way stronger than normal cigs (i was smoking Camel Turkish Gold and Parliament Light). They are good at first but when you get to the last 25% they are harsh as hell and don't taste good. So I was wondering if stuffing is smoother. Since the tubes are premade with the filter I thought they might be. I don't know I have never had one. I really want to get into myo but the rolled ones are too harsh. Is stuffing the way to go to get that smooth mild smoke throughout the entire cig like mass produced cigs? Everyone is saying how much better they are but I haven't seen it yet. That first cig that I can enjoy to the last puff will have me hooked!
Thanks,
Phil

rolling tobacco close to a Parliament?
Posted by Shawn on Tuesday, 05-Feb-2008
I have been rolling my own cigarettes for a few years now, but occasionally do buy my old favorite, Parliaments. I have never found a tobacco that has that same flavor. Has anyone tried any that is close? Thanks!
Tobacco Station
Posted by dave z on Saturday, 26-Jan-2008
I m curious as to what other RYO brands Tobacco Stations Premium FF is comparable to. Their 5lb bulk deal is tempting but I d hate to be stuck w/ that much baccy if I dont like it. Theres no sample program on their website. I ve been smoking D&R and PS mostly, is this as high quality? I ve read here that it might be Farmers Gold repackaged? Its not that cheap, and it does say premium. Any help would be appreciated.

Opened tobacco storage?
Posted by Mike B on Tuesday, 08-Jan-2008
SO, I just got my first 14oz bag of Windsail Platinum and I want to be able to keep it fresh for longer. My 3.5oz can seemed to dry really fast.
Any suggestions? Keep in mind that I am in Phoenix where the humidity is rarely over 20%

McClintock from Poland
Posted by Ernest Lipps on Saturday, 05-Jan-2008
Placed an order to Lil, Brown for 1 pound bag each of lite and full flavor, both were good smoke, I then weighed out 4 ounces of each and blended well, now I have the perfect smoke for my taste. A lite smoke with lots of flavor.

Figured out Ramback
Posted by Mike B on Friday, 04-Jan-2008
Ok, I commented on here a couple weeks ago that I wasn't too fond of Ramback because of the "ultra-light" effect it had. WELL...... I figured out HOW I like Ramback. Just got a Gizeh rollbox and some Gizeh Hemp papers (maybe the papers don't matter so much but....) WOW! That Turkish taste and mild feel is off the charts filterless!!! I cannot express how much I enjoy the Ramback this way.
Oh, and Two-Timer is a better blend to me than the Cockstrong, since I'm rambling.
Gambler/Ramback Mix
Posted by Jeffo on Wednesday, 02-Jan-2008
I had a full bag of Gambler FF that had been sitting around for about three months unopened because I didn't care for it as much as the other stuff I've been smoking. I decided I'd open it and smoke the stuff. It was OK but not much to rave about. Then I decided to try mixing it with some fresh Ramback I just got from D&R. What a pleasant surprise. Since I've tried mixing it with the McClintock FF another pleasant surprise. The Ramback seems to make everything I mix it with taste great. I'm going to keep it around all the time. Don't through it away blend in some Ramback.

Not a bad smoke but still like Canoe Tobacco the best.
Strange Chunk
Posted by Ebenezer on Monday, 24-Dec-2007
I have been SYO for years now and have never seen this. I have smoked all, which is a vague term that includes everything except the obviuosly nasty blends, tobacco Companies. While I do have several other brands around all the time I smoke mostly D&R at this point and have narrowed my tastes down-Two Timer Gold(TTG) and Three Sails(seperately, in Rizla Cig. Size), with a splash of Cockstrong. My current pouch TTG has smoked and tasted regularly for 1/6 of the pouch, newpouch. I dumped out half of one of my 8oz canning jars to make some smokes and there was this CHUNK. I just thought it was a clump of tobacco, but I grabbbed, or pinched, and it crumbled into dust. So I gently swept it into my hand and it is a powdery chunk of something. My first thought was it reminded me of a very dry hash-ish sort of material. I smelled it and it was heavy of chocolate/'"D&R sweetness". Is this common? Or is this experienced by others? Is this a chunk of "all-natural-topping", haha, Im curious....

D&R Samplers
Posted by Mike B on Monday, 17-Dec-2007
Ok, just ordered a sample pack from D&R. The one with Ramback, Vongeur, Windsail, and Rowland that includes 2 boxes of tubes. Hopefully will find "my" tobacco from that. So far, I'm actually diggin the Zig Zag but when I get close to the filter, it's harsh as hell.
What's your opinion on the D&R Blends? I'll probably make a separate order for Cockstrong next month, too.

can we add this brand now?? it's $15.99 per LB at the shop here....I'm about to light one up, it's real....it won't be replacing my PTT though, even though my friend likes it better...it's not bad...this is FF
tobacco cutter/grinder??
Posted by mike c on Tuesday, 06-Nov-2007
I have been in the habit of cutting my tobacco down for a while now
only one big problem...I am sick and tired of nearly cutting my finger off
this came up once before and Dave said he could see where cutting the strands down would be ok, but the fluff-stuff was better for (cough) "newbies".....
so, I ask the whole lot if there is a reason I shouldn't cut it (other than my finger) please share, and most important..is there a cutter that could be recommended??
I also just discovered I have been slightly overstuffing/overtapping, again

People's true taste ryo menthol ultra light
Posted by Karrie on Thursday, 25-Oct-2007
I live in Michigan and it seems all the shops around me do not carry the People's true tast line anylonger. Can anybody suggest a ryo cigarette that is similiar to a Kool Ultralight 100? This tobacco was pretty darn close, but I can't find it anywhere. I prefer not to buy online because of income tax reasons. Thanks!

Potent bright leaf
Posted by AllTALL on Thursday, 20-Sep-2007
What is the most potent Virginia bright leaf tobacco brand. Potent in terms of nicotine? I don't like spicy tobaccos. And I dislike burly. Most bright leaf brands that I have tried are a little weak, however. I am looking for something with more punch.

add a brand: Skydancer
Posted by Gumby on Thursday, 06-Sep-2007
I've decided to upstep tobacco sightings, though this isn't my forte(sp?)
A prayer was answered in the form of a knock at the door, my old friend Robin, our earliest recorded "new" Topomatic owner, I've been forgiven the death threat it seems.....
anyway, she mentioned she is now smoking "Skydancer" tobacco. I was happy they are still "injecting". She has moved away from "People's True Taste"......I guess I'll have to gift her some DnR baccy in future, can't get 'em to mail order
sidenote-her machine has a large nozzle, so I wonder if Republic shrunk it on later ones......
had trouble understanding where "add a brand" goes. sorry if I missed the target
Do I have a tolerance?
Posted by Yehuda Manne on Tuesday, 04-Sep-2007
I don't think this is a storage issue. I store my pound bags wrapped tightly inside a thermidor, and my tubs go to Mason jars. Everything holds its moisture until I'm ready to dry a couple days supply. But...things that tasted strong a few months ago have no bite anymore. I have to smoke Cockstrong as my regular smoke to have a feeling of body to the smoke. Or a mix of CS and GR Rimboche. Tobaccos I loved in the past, like Balkan Ramback, don't have strength anymore. I smoke FF tubes, btw. Am I developing a tolerance? I smoke about 20 sticks per day, rolled on a Supermatic. Has this happened to anyone else? I've previously blamed this experience on poor storage, but now that I've hopefully corrected that, I wonder why my palate has changed so drastically.
Thanks

RCIP sucks!
Posted by Dave T. on Sunday, 02-Sep-2007
Having noticed a change in the taste and performance of our Newport 100s in the past few months, and realizing it must be more than a few "bad" cartons, the wife and I did a Google search and found out about the RCIP (reduced cigarette ignition propensity) law many states are adopting. We are now looking into joining the RYO scene, and while researching what it will take to make our own smokes, we found this nice website. I have a couple of questions we were hoping you fine folks might be able to answer.
1. Does the RCIP laws affect the RYO supplies? I can't seem to find if it's a change in the tobacco, paper, or whatever they have done...but the results are a nasty tasting smoke that constantly goes out.
2. So if this rule only applies to manufactured cigs, great! But I guess I would ask how many of you RYO for the cost savings (which I see now can be quite a lot) or for the quality. Although I think nobody likes the price hikes of tobacco products, our reason for change is one of quality more than cost. What I am wondering is if you RYO primarily for the cost savings, quality, or ???
3. We live in a small town (300k pop) and our only tobacco shop is also a porn store, tattoo parlor, and head-shop. Are there any decent online sources for ordering, or would you suggest we travel a couple hours to a bigger city to buy our supplies "locally"?
Thanks for any answers you folks come up with.

Samples
Posted by Rob S on Wednesday, 29-Aug-2007
What they should do (regarding samples) is throw a few grams, enough for a few cigarettes, in a small plastic bag, and offer them free, per request, to anyone who makes a regular purchase. I've been wanting to try the Houseblend line, but at fifteen dollars a pop for their smallest unit, it's not very cost effective if I happen not to like it, or just feel so so about it...and if I'm in the mood to sample more than a few varieties while I have my credit card out, it can be an expensive and disappointing leap, so I tend to avoid it.
In bulk, small plastic bags can be fairly inexpensive, and I would think that the staff has access to all the different products on premises. The actual logistics of it might be another matter, but I would think that the prospect of attracting either more customers, or more of their products to their existing customers, makes good business sense.

Tobacco Suggestions
Posted by Rabb on Saturday, 25-Aug-2007
I understand no-one may have an answer for this, but I'll give it a shot as you guys seem to know your stuff.
I need some help finding my brand(s) for everyday smoking. I'm ok with using light tobacco and FF tubes, or FF tobacco and light tubes... ect. I use the Supermatic Excel. I'm currently using Supermatic Light Kings, and taking recommendations on better tubes.
I'm not looking for an exact replica of a factory brand. Although what I'm looking for is something similar to what I've smoked previously and enjoyed.
I liked hand rolled Bali-Shag, it was delicious. I also stuffed Bugler Gold. As for factory, I smoked Camel Turkish Silver, Pall-Mall lights, Camel Lights and USA Gold Lights. Those are the brands I went through, and ended my factory smokes career with the Turkish Silvers.
Right now I'm using a mix of Criss-Cross FF and Gambler Light, 1:1. Only to get rid of them until my next purchase. I'm not really enjoying this blend, it seems so flavorless. There's a slight weight to the smoke, but I'm looking for something with more depth.
If anyone can suggest a mix or single brand that you think I might want to try, I'd be much obliged. I'm not against ordering online, but I'd rather something commercial I can pick up from a local shop. I'm in the Northeast United States. Thank you.

Reviews
Posted by Jeremy B on Thursday, 26-Jul-2007
Here are my experiences with some tobaccos I have recently tried:
Peter Stokkebye: London Export and Amsterdam Shag
American Spirit: Original Blend
D&R: Windsail, Ramback, Vengeur, Vengeur Light,
Windsail is very good, and very popular. At first I thought it could be my regular smoke, until I tried the Vengeur Light. They are similar, and I would recommended this if Vengeur Light did not exist. Try the Platinum version. It's not that much more expensive, and people like it a lot.
Vengeur Light is my favorite from these blends. I could smoke this every day and be happy. Somewhat mild with a flavorful natural taste. Not too light, just right. Almost too tasty for my own good. Highly recommended. Regular Vengeur is good too. A bit strong for my regular smoke. They're similar, but I prefer the former.
Danish Export I like very much. It is mild and flavorful. I enjoy it for a change of pace. Recommended if you need a tasty mild smoke with a little more tasty artificial flavorings, and a little less natural tobacco flavor. Highly recommended if you've already tried Vengeur Light but want something new.
Amsterdam Shag has some strange flavorings which don't agree with me. I think one can find better for the price. Not recommended, maybe just not my style.
Ramback is a very popular Turkish tobacco. Has a very strong smell, that some people compare to dirty socks. I'm inclined to agree. Super mild, but incredibly flavorful. I do enjoy the taste, but the smell is just too much for me personally. However I am a bit sensitive to some smells compared to my friends.
If you've never had a Turkish tobacco, try a sample. A lot of people love to mix this brand for delicious flavor kick. Recommended, but just to enhance the flavor of your other favorite tobaccos. Ramback Gold is even pre-mixed with Windsail Platinum for you.
American Spirit Original gives me a buzz because the "freebase" nicotine absorption rate in this brand is abnormally high. I believe this brand is overpriced considering it's quality. It is harsh. Most people seem to prefer the U.S. blend over this. Not recommended.
I hope this helps someone find a brand that they enjoy.

New Zig-Zag packaging=new blends?
Posted by Cabo on Saturday, 21-Jul-2007
A couple of tobacco shops here (N Central Indiana) have started stocking Zig-Zag light and full flavor in new packaging (new to me anyway). The new ones are a classy foil with the full flavor in a red pouch and can, the light in a blue pouch and can. I'd never tried ZZ before and picked up a couple of pouches of each. Have to say I was surprised, not bad smokes at all. The ff being a little more harsh than the light. Doesn't have the overwhelming syrupy, excessive topping smell you get with alot of "american" blends. The light had some pieces of junk in it, spongy stems it appeared. Not cheap at $2.00 for just .65 oz as compared to $3.10 (with the $.50 coupon) for 1.31oz of Bali Red.
Just curious if the new packaging has been in other parts of the country already and if they are new blends?
Thanks
Home toasted virginias
Posted by timmo on Tuesday, 17-Jul-2007
Hi all...
I'm a fairly new SYO smoker from the UK and have been reading here with interest for the last couple of months. Most of your tobaccos aren't available in England and it would be so nice to try the miriad of tobaccos you have available to you. On the other hand though, we have some superb tobaccos over here that you won't find in the states, such as original drum, golden virginia and old holborn being the most popular 'store bought' brands.
I'm currently smoking:
1 part Golden Virginia
1 part Drum Halfzware
2 parts JW Von Eicken virginia blend (imported from Germany)
On a friday I buy enough to last me a whole week which is 150g or just over 6oz in total. After mixing these I always 'toast' them under a very hot grill, as opposed to 'stoving' them. For me it's quicker and I feel more in control of whats happening to the tobacco. All I do is spread the tobaccos over a sheet of baking foil and place under the grill, wait for a hint of smoke, then whip it out and mix well. I do this several times until the colour changes ever so slightly to a darker (but not burned) shade.
This method usually dries the weed out real quick so you have to be very careful during the process; 2 seconds too long under a burning grill will give you a burnt crisp dust.
I re-hydrate the tobacco afterwards with a sterile damp cloth draped over the lid of my makeshift humidor (thanks tupperware!) and within a few hours its ready to smoke.
I mostly use Vera Cruz Nocturnes and Rizla 'cigarette size' tubes. In a Rizla slim tube, this tobacco is sweet, nutty and toasty, a lot like a lucky strike but without the crap, and somewhat stronger in taste, which I love.
Incidentally, the Rizla 'cigarette' size are not really a recently new 'innovation'. We have had them here in the UK for years under the name of Rizla 'concept'. They are exactly the same: 7.8mm tube with a 22mm filter. They also sell a rolling tobacco to go with it, made by John Player, which is expensive crap to be honest. It costs £2.70 (or $5.40) for 14g (Yes 14g!) and is full of reconstituted tobacco and what looks and tastes like cardboard. Ugh.
Of course it costs more over here, as does everything else. My weekly tobacco spend for just a fraction over 6oz of tobaccos is £21.60 (literally about $43.00), and $8.00 on tubes alone. But - if I were to go back to smoking premade Marlboro I'd be spending $120 per week.
I cant ever see myself taking a backwards step and smoking a premade again. Even if I were 'skint' as we say over here, and all I could afford was cheap and nasty bottom shelf tobacco, i'd still buy that and stuff my own as it is almost guaranteed to taste better than the crap they shove into premades.
Thanks for this site - a brilliant read.

Tar
Posted by Wazmo Nariz on Saturday, 02-Jun-2007
Since I started using Tar-Gard filters (the permanent kind that you take the venturi element out of to clean and reuse) I've noticed quite a big difference in the amount of tars from various tobaccos. Surprisingly, the pouch of Republic Drum I bought a few days ago to compare with the Imperial UK Drum was quite low in tar. Windsail Platinum seems to have a good bit more tar than the Drum...I could smoke 5 or 6 sticks of Drum and accumulate the same amount of tars as about 3 WP sticks. The Sagamore Virginia seems to fall between those two.
Anyone else use any of the other tar filtration devices and noticed the amounts of tar in your favourite 'baccy?

Raunchiest Blends
Posted by Matt on Wednesday, 28-Feb-2007
Since there has been a newcomer or two lately, it might be a big help to mention some blends to steer clear of. One blend I can think of is Roll Rich. It used to come in an oddly proportioned can and was better than the current blend. A handrolled smoke of this will leave you eating tobacco since this is one of the shakiest out there. Another let-down is Top. I used to buy it and it was tolerable until I noticed the chemical taste and smell which became impossible to ignore. (packaging?) I know there are some Zig-Zag fans out there, but I'll never buy it again after my last experience. It either gave me the headache or aggravated the one I already had. Each time I'd smoke one it was noticeable.
