I ran across this Bali entry somewhere along the line and wondered if anyone has the scoop on it. Along with the mythical Bali Yellow.

Its an Indonesian sun-cured Javanese blend made by Port Numbay.

Interesting, I was confused by the 'Holland Export Quality' on the front of the package. Actually I was interested to know if anyone had actually smoked some of this since it's not likely that it will be appearing in my are anytime soon. The reason I asked is because I've been exposed to SE Asian tailor made's (such as the ones pictured) that will, (if you've ever had the misfortune to have smoked any) will reveal why when watching old movies, they always ask for American Cigarettes :)
- Premier Has A Brand Now!
- Posted by Alist on Tuesday, 11-Mar-2008
I don't believe it. Premier [link] has their own brand now. I haven't tried it and most certainly won't pay $14 for a 6 oz can (especially not when many D & R flavors are $15.95 per 14 oz bag). I can't get the reviews out of my mind from those who had symptoms similar to colds after using the Premier tubes. I wonder if the Premier tobacco will make the symptoms better or worse?

Interesting link and news to me. I noticed that it doesn't say anything about the tobacco besides.. 'lite'. If it's any thing like their tubes they should just change the name to Brand X and for the price they are charging I hope it's grown in Thailand :)

- Triumph Tobacco
- Posted by Mike T. on Saturday, 22-Sep-2007
I've seen Triumph Tobacco lately, and I was wondering if it is worth buying. It comes in 12.5 gram pouches and is probably from Europe, or Australia.

Yes, I tried it recently. Excellent! (For my preferences, anyway.) A very dark, almost black tobacco. A full flavor, but mild, not harsh. An instant favorite. Also easy to stuff, with just the right moisture content. I wish I could find it in bulk. Can anyone help there?

Saw this today at my local smoke shop. Comes in 1lb. and 6oz. bags. Looked very fine cut and comes with no papers. I've tried GT One premades and wasn't too impressed...which made me decide to wait till someone else here tries it first.

Interesting. Gt One was the brand of generic smokes I was buying before I decided to go SYO. I liked the ready mades. Where are you located? How much are the one pound bags? I have contacted General Tobacco by email to see if it will be available here in Knoxville, TN. Their website is www.gtonecentral.com

- Re: New Brand / Kentucky Select
- Posted by Havery on Wednesday, 08-Aug-2007
I picked up a 16 oz bag in Ohio. Excellent smoke for the money.

Very nice ( spider web ) cut and color. The FF was similar to a Camel
Light -- traces of chocolate casings. Minimal stem content.
Very good American Blend -- good rolling moisture content.
- "Buckeye's Best"
- Posted by KentC on Friday, 13-Jul-2007
A friend of mine got some of this - Light - in Fremont Ohio and I tried it out. It was the smoothest light tobacco I've tried. I currently use McClintock Light in my blend. I had some of the new Ramback Balkan from D&R (my taste test on that is about the same as Kerry's - experiencing some occasional harshness but in general pretty good tasting. It didn't blend well with Rowland though, imo.).

Anyway I've looked for this Buckeye's Best on line and only found a few 'company related' sites rather than anyone that sells it. If I recall, it is made by the same company that makes Golden Harvest tobaccos and the name of the tobacco will depend on what state it's sold in - eg. "Kentucky's Best" and perhaps "Indiana's Best". Just wondering if anyone has seen this one and what they thought?
I'd also like to know if it comes in a Menthol Light.
- Re: "Buckeye's Best"
- Posted by Dave L on Friday, 13-Jul-2007
You could call the manufacturer (see M&R Holdings). While it hard to know who's connected to who, Kentucky's Best is made by Farmer's Tobacco of Cynthiana (who isn't the manufacturer of Farmers Gold, M&R is) and Golden Harvest by Rouseco (Franklin Rouse VS M&R's Dean Rouse).

- Cutlass tobacco
- Posted by mike kuglich on Saturday, 26-May-2007
Cutlass tobacco...It's available in full, light and menthol in 6 or 10oz. cans. I'm form Chicago so far only saw it in this area.. Local company Fairprice tobacco i.e ryocigarette.com is the mfg.
[ reply | link ] to this. Go to [ top ]
It's a fine cut shag..similar to London export with a hint of chocolate something like rowland. Definitely an American blend style of smoke because of style of cut it works well both for stuffing and rolling. The price at the store is $7.99 for 6oz. and $13.99 for 10oz. Great.
Perfect 1st for someone new to syo/ryo
