tobacco or cigars ?
and which area you from and prefer ?

Dear sifu, just bought my first roller and tobacco at the curve. I bought the macbaren original, smell very good but after smoking like 5 sticks i cannot get the kick... you know what i mean?
Been smoking marlboro lights and mild seven lights for the past 5 years. Any suggestion on what other tobacco should i try? Also after smoking the macbaren original throat feel a little bit dry. and the shopkeeper recommended me raw rolling papers.

no kick ar.....i think you should go for something like van nelle, drum, golden virginia, old holborn....etc
then mixed up your macbaren original with it for flavouring
make the mixture ratio 3:7 will do (3 for macbaren)

Does it make my rollies have stronger feel? Cuz now after smoking rollies i still feel like lack of nicotine. the kick is not there. Is this common for new rollers like me that just switched over from pre-rolled ciggys?

it's hard to explain the feeling, lets say if im smoking marlboro lights, by the time i tarik the 3rd puff it feels good already, on my macbaren it feels like i tarik nothing.

yea....mb is more to smooth and milder type
tried those brand i listed above...they are more stronger
but overall, all rolling tobacco are lower in tar and nicotine compared to normal cigs
fyi, normal cigs contain less than 15% pure tobacco =)
and the most tobacco contain is marlboro (also not more than 15%)
you will love rollies once you get used to it
quite hard for me to go back to normal cigs after rollies =p
haha

Really? Seems encouraging. Anyways i should get the brands u listed so when i tarik got more kick right? macbaren really don't cut it for me. btw what do you think about injectors? Caused i took more than 30mins to roll 20 sticks. Seems like taking alot of time and sometimes when rushing also hard. That's why i am thinking about injectors.But someone told me that the tobacco for rolling can't be used on injectors. Is it true?

nope...most kind of rolling tobacco can be used on injectors
i personally use zigzag hand roller
im replying this msg and rolling my cigs at the same time now =p

Hey bro, i just tried drum. it tasted more like marlboro lights. more suitable for my taste. Any other recommendations? i also saw van nelle for sale at the store.

how much erinmore flake tin 50gr on KL or somewhere in malaysia? maybe someone can buy it for me and sent it to Indonesia (certainly using cargo services door to door )

already too long do not get it from my place... just wanna taste it again


so

glad that you like it
i personally like van nelle
Drum is considered as 'halfzware shag' and Van Nelle is 'Zware shag'
so the zware shag flavour is much stronger
or you can try Golden Virginia, loved by most mat salleh too =p

Added on January 25, 2011, 9:11 pmmarket price for Erinmore 25g is increased to RM10 since i last worked for supplyin tobaccos
the price should be same if not mistaken....so 50g is just double the price of 25g so its RM20 =)

Hi, all.

I have smoked for many many years, hand-rolls, pipes, occasionally cigars but not often. Wanted to say there are some things about certain rolling tobaccos not being useful without special treatment for stuffers or injectors... Some tobacco is too moist out of the package and must be dried quite a bit to allow it to be used in an injector.

I am also looking for a local store here that carries pipe tobacco in bulk rather than packages, particularly "black raspberry" flavor. My favorite blend is called "Seaworthy" and it's 50-50 black raspberry and whiskey cavendish. Anyone know where i can find the black raspberry?

Any malaysian here sell cigars online?

only de kayang cigar that i know...
you can search in facebook for "de kayang cigar"
hand made from perlis...

Golden virginia. Yummy.

I usually mix golden virginia with macbarren original. half half.

golden virginia have that kick mang. and macbarren have the nice taste.

yea....for mixing, i prefer drum mild + macbaren original or mb pandan =p
for original i like Van Nelle

rolling... rolling... and still rolling.... Cant turn back to smoking pre-rolled because it doesnt even come near to the pleasure that i get smoking RYO's... uh uh uh uh uh... tried Drum ( both ), MB Exotic, Vanilla, Original and Cafe.... Virginia... Theyre all nice... but my fav and most frequent is MB Exotic... I dont use machines or rollers because i roll huge ones... so per smoke will last me 4-5 hours before i get the craving ( pre-rolled lasts only 1-1 1/2 hours max )... I dont use normal smoking paper because i hate the "Paper" taste.. so i use mostly hemp and rice papers and those clear rolling papers for the "cool" factor...

good to hear that bro....but local shop usually sell those normal paper only
and only few shop selling liquorice paper
rizla paper is quality, got lesser 'paper' smell =p

My latest favourite now is golden virginia gold + macbaren grapes. taste very nice and very smooth. But after 1 pack of tobacco i can no longer taste the grape.

hi there
i am new with pipe.. switching from dunhill to pipe recently. Trying wine berry right now... plan to try kohlhase&kopp afterwards

h11g : golden virginia can mixed with anything and it still taste great
FYI, flavour tobacco cant last you long....as you experienced it, after get used to it, then you got not taste on that anymore....have to change for other flavoured tobacco =p

ahmisuhairi : wine berry is great ! 1 of my favourite flavoured tobacco !
