Thread: Any handrolled cigarette smokers?

I'm going to the states later this year to see my son, what would be the closest equivalent American tobacco to Golden Virginia?

For me an 18 oz bag of tobacco and 4 boxes of tubes is $27 us dollars and that last me a month or so.

Right, that works out to less than £1 per oz, I am lost for words.

I smoke AMERICAN SPIRIT. A can 5.29 oz can costs 38 bucks or so ( used to be 18 and change until Barry decided smokers of loose tobacco needed to catch up with the rest of the overtaxed nicotine addicts).

It also has 200 papers included. The papers are 78MM and I buy a ZIG-ZAG roller so they don't look like joints when I'm riding around in my work truck and enjoying a smoke. A can lasts me close to a month. If I buy a pack, it's gone before a cat can lick it's rear end. I usually buy the dark blue can. The dark blue has a bit better flavor to me than the light blue one.

They advertise their tobacco as being 100% additive free. Their papers are top notch and have a glue strip. Supposedly made without bleach. When I'm at the house, I usually roll one and smoke about half of it and let it go out (which it will do shortly after you put it down) and go back and finish it three or four hours later.

I roll up a smoke of Bugler every now and again just to keep my handrolling skills intact. Still pretty good after all these years. I usually won't use their papers though. Too thick. I prefer Zig-Zag Orange.

I do the same, I can roll a joint like Bob Marley himself although I don't smoke marijuana and never really have.

I'm not familiar with Golden Virginia, but anything Peter Stokebye is good. If you prefer something a little more mellow I'd go with the Danish Import, London Export, or Stockholm Blend. Amsterdam Shag is their heaviest and my preferred smoke. Their turkish blend isn't bad either.
