Avoid it. It used to come in an off-shape can that wasn't too bad. The new standard size 6 oz. can is some really shaky stuff that I imagine would clog any injector.

Once upon a time when it seemed prudent to switch from premium rolling tobaccos to the "drug store" brands (a.k.a. Roll Rich, Top, Bugler), I found that the consistency in product quality of these mainstream brands varied widely week-to-week. Sometimes they tasted awful, most of the time they tasted undistinguished, and sometimes they tasted quite good. I learned to buy up the store's whole inventory when a batch of the "quite good" stuff came along.

All of these drug store brands are pretty much the same: American blend, moderately strong, mildly harsh, without subtle flavors. They are all overpriced for their qualities vis-a-vis the premium tobaccos. Most of the time they required hydration or they burned too hot.

Of these mainstream brands, Roll Rich seemed to be the least objectionable with the least quality problems. The next best is Top, followed by Bugler.

Happily, that experiment didn't last long, and I'm back to the premium brands such as Stokkebye, Bali, McClintock, and D&R.
