Unfortunately this tobacco is no longer available. We have left the listing on our website for historical reference and interest.
A good quality, easy burning, air cured Virginia with a straight, non savoury tobacco flavour. It has a little bite but not as much as the likes of Golden Virginia.
THE STORY There is a story behind this one that involves Scandal, corruption and the global super powers so if your sat down I will begin!
You may notice that this Hand Rolling Tobacco is noticeably cheaper than other Hand Rolling Tobacco's out there so it's crap right?! Well No! It's not the same quality as the Auld Kendal Range on our website but it's better than most budget Hand Rolling Tobacco's such as the likes of Drum and Samson. The reason it's not over priced is down to one of the major supermarkets who for legal reasons we cannot name! They decided to do the moral thing and approached a LOCAL British tobacco manufacturer and asked them to supply them with a good quality cheap tobacco. All though that phrase was a contradiction in terms the supplier worked hard and made some phone calls and after a lot of strenuous negotiating managed to come up with the Virginia Blend that was good quality but would still heavily line the pockets of the supermarket. So the deal was done, they shook virtual hands and the go ahead was given for half a ship full of this tobacco. The shipment shortly landed in the UK and the Virginia Blend was soon to brace the shelves of many large supermarket branches. However the Supermarket turned round at the last minute dropped their trousers, shit on the local UK supplier and said "Nah changed our minds"
The UK supplier turned round to all it's loyal supporters and said I have some cheap tobacco for you that you can have at the same price as the Supermarket. We aren't greedy and quite frankly just aren't used to making such large margins so it goes out on our shelves at a much more reasonable price than it would in the supermarket.
