Co-Op and other retailers have stopped stocking this tobacco, we (Gauntleys) had too 2-3 weeks ago (as a result of poor sales). But due to demand and interest in on my review of this tobacco (view article). We have decided to re stock this tobacco but only in outers of 150grams and 250grams. I will [...]

There is a few “Herbal” smoking alternatives around. Honey Rose is a big producer here in the UK. After coming back from Holiday, i found a few gems kicking about in the shop this morning. Mainly there is a new Herbal Cigarette coming out Hamiltons – Premium Gold Unlike the Honey Rose these actually look [...]

Well it feels like its been a while since a reviewed a Cuban. In fact im shocked i havn’t done a review of the Choix Supreme yet. I do have to say im a fan, so this may be alittle bias. While i was in Holland i picked up some teas from Geels & Co. [...]

Well i said it in the last post, but ive just tried smoking Capstan in a roll up. Its a little too damp for my liking, so it might be better in a few days. It rolls like any other shag cut, easy but a bit thick and stringy. It lit no problem, the smoke [...]

Was a great night again, 3 new members and some light for a change. The tobaccos i ended up taking went down well. I had a little shock when i opened Capstan Ready Rubbed and discovered it looked like a Shag/Rolling tobacco. Infact thinking about it, it seemed very thinly cut! *goes to dig out [...]
