Hello from Cape Town, South Africa

[Chilli]

Hi. I have just joined. I have been trying to find some decent info on rolling tobacco.

I came across this site and was reading about all the bad things added to the tobacco.

Any advice on which would be the best tobacco in Cape Town.

I now smoke normal packs of smokes, but am wanting to go to Roley's.

Any advice. I love the liquorice Rizzla papers too.

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum. I can't give you any good advice on rolling tobaccos for cigarette smoking but can make some recommendations for good pipe tobacco. All I know is that good shag tobacco usually comes from Great Britain and Denmark. Some of the major producers are Gawith & Hoggarth, (I know they make a shag cut) and Stokkebye in Denmark.
I'm sure others here will chime in with some good info for you.

Welcome aboard.

Stokkebye Turkish makes an excellent RYO.

Yes, the Stokkebye tobaccos are very good. Go to eacarey to order. It will say it's pipe tobacco but it can be used as RYO. Also, I don't know if American Spirit RYO is available in your locale but their tobaccos are top of the line.

Welcome to BoB, any of the shag tobacco's will smoke nicely in roll ups mate, topped shag will need some drying out before you make your smokes with it though.
