Riverside Mellow Pipe Tobacco is Good and Attractively Priced

Several cigarette manufacturers market attractively priced tobaccos suitable for roll your own (RYO) and make your own (MYO) applications. S&M Brands of Keysville, Va., producer of Bailey's cigarettes, is no exception. This company also makes the affordable, Riverside brand of cigarettes and offers pipe cut tobacco under this label. Locally, it is available for $5.49 for a six ounce bag and $9.99 for a one pound bag; a current promotion provides instantly redeemable coupons for $.50 off of the smaller bag and $1.00 off of the larger bag.

Cherokee Turkish Bold

Back in May, I reviewed Cherkee Mellow Blend Pipe Tobacco in Cherokee Tobacco: An Exceptional Value and found it quite satisfactory. Recently, I tried Cherokee Turkish Bold and it struck me as perhaps the best value priced, pipe cut tobacco blend that I have used to make hand rolled cigarettes. This blend is not harsh, yet it is strong enough to suit American smokers. I found that its flavor resembles that of a Camel and it is a good smoke, with or without a filter plug. The folks in South Boston, Virginia seem to have knocked the ball out of the park with Cherokee Turkish Bold and I highly recommend it.
