Raunchiest Blends
Posted by Matt on Wednesday, 28-Feb-2007
Since there has been a newcomer or two lately, it might be a big help to mention some blends to steer clear of. One blend I can think of is Roll Rich. It used to come in an oddly proportioned can and was better than the current blend. A handrolled smoke of this will leave you eating tobacco since this is one of the shakiest out there. Another let-down is Top. I used to buy it and it was tolerable until I noticed the chemical taste and smell which became impossible to ignore. (packaging?) I know there are some Zig-Zag fans out there, but I'll never buy it again after my last experience. It either gave me the headache or aggravated the one I already had. Each time I'd smoke one it was noticeable.

For me the raunchiest blend is Gambler, hands down. The only other cheaper brands I have tried are Midnight Special and Rave, MS was years ago, thought it was Ok but harsh, now I realize it was dry, may have to give it another try as I can get it here in town now, just bought a bag of Rave yesterday, seems ok.

Got the 'cheap' special from pipesandcigars. Was touted as "lane limited" super cheap by the pound. Tasted, smelled, and burned like hay. Sweet hay. I have never experienced anything like it! Tossed a pound minus about 3 sticks!

The only thing I've found that I could not....or would not smoke is something they called Lanes RYO that I got in bulk at a local smoke shop. It was $1.45 an ounce and I've never seen it anywhere else which leads me to believe it was really something else that they just decided to call Lanes RYO. I also got some bulk Stokers #2 light there that was almost as bad but that could have just been a bad production run or something.

I don't know what 'Lanes' you are talking about. There is an international 'Lanes' that is widely available in many local smoke shops. I tried some a few years back. It was actually quite tasty but too strong for my liking.

If you just stopped smoking store bought Cigs today, nothing really sucks :) I went from Marlboro's to 61 Tobacco.. but today I would say 61 really sucks :)

Anyone who lives in Central Florida can probably back me up on this one...Low Ball Louie's Light tobacco. Nasty stuff. I can't begin to figure out exactly what sort of tobacco it is, but I think it's mostly a minimally cured burley. I bought a one pound bag once about a year and a half ago (this store, while selling myo/ryo supplies, does NOT provide samples, which would have surely saved me some money and indeed, for some peculiar reason, treats their myo/ryo offerings like some bastard stepchild). A musty, vegetal taste that would be good if you were looking for a reason to quit smoking all together. I had to throw the stuff away after making just a handful of smokes.

Too funny! I went there yesterday to see what they had and was tempted to try and buy one of thier 1 Lb bags. I figured there was a reason they didn't have smaller pouches and I'm glad I steered clear!

Unless you are in the mood to quit smoking I would stay clear of Farmers Gold. I will never forget my experience with it. Dry flakier chip cut, of course with a lot of shake. Real light in color. I wondered if it were a blend of maple and birch leaves along with some tobacco barn sweepings. So that is my addition to raunchiest blends or tobaccos out there.

Well, I happen to be ok with Roll Rich. I had a pouch a while back and it was fine. Zig-Zag is also fine, though I don't like Top. Every person has different tastes.
