I’m based in China, where there isn’t really a proper market for rolling tobacco. After spending some time learning online, I figured out how to order from overseas, and now I’ve managed to get my hands on a few different rolling tobaccos.
Recently, I received some Ryback Gold from the U.S. Overall, I think it’s pretty good—my only complaint is that it has a slightly bitter note, but aside from that I enjoy it.
Before that, I also tried Three Sails. On its own, I found it too light, so I started blending it with Dark Burley, and now it actually tastes pretty decent.
The downside is that every order takes around 20 days to arrive. On top of that, imported rolling tobacco ends up being really expensive because Chinese customs charges about 50% of the tobacco’s value as tax.
I’ve learned a lot from this community, so I just wanted to say thanks to everyone here.
