GUEST REVIEW: Rollie Tobacco: Strawberry (6/10)

Apparently I have inspired one of our followers to write a guest review, so thanks very much Ragados!

The Gawith and Hoggarth 'Auld Kendal' Strawberry rollie tobacco may sound like just another sweet and fruity flavoured loose tobacco, however, this one is special. Unsmoked, the tobacco has a definite Strawberry scent, though when smoked, the flavour becomes a smooth, almost chocolaty affair. Everyone knows how well chocolate and strawberries combine.

The Strawberry tobacco produces a light, mild smoke, so if you smoke for the nicotine buzz then this is probably not the tobacco for you. I would recommend this if you are smoking around other people who might not like the dry cloying smoke of Drum or Golden Virginia or a more conventional pre-manufactured cigarette. In addition, the Strawberry keeps well for a long time before drying out which is certainly useful for me who only goes through about 12.5 grams per week or less. Give it a try, it is a pleasant, light, smooth smoke.
