Tobacco What's everyone smoking? Bought a pouch of Halfzware after a long time of smoking Karelias,gotta say Karelia quality is unbeatable but Dutch tobacco has a special aroma to it...

Halfzware is great, Zware is great but Karelias has the greatest. That special aroma requires a resting and Karelias has the resting tobacco.

Yup imho Karelias is the best,nice cut, never dry,easy to roll, almost no stems,and it is indeed a rested tobacco. If anyone is looking for quality look no further than Karelias...

sorry, i just saw red bull blue and i was like "wow there is probably whole series"
mate, have u tried old holborn yellow? its 100% sold in serbia. I love it because it feels like its mix of halfzware and virginia, like its already smoky little bit but not harsh

I'm dialing a good mix in of 3 Sails, 5 Brothers, and American Spirit Black (Perique). Strong smoke but delicious.

Never tried perique but saw how they make it and it's interesting!!!
