Gambler Tube Cut Full Flavor Cigarette Tobacco

While I most often purchase pipe cut tobaccos due to their attractive prices, I bought a 1 and 1/2 ounce a bag of Gambler Tube Cut full flavor cigarette tobacco today to tide me over until I could get to the tobacco shop that I prefer to do business with.  This tobacco, which is sold by several local retailers, is distributed by Republic Tobacco, L.P. which is well known for products under the Top, Drum, and 4 Aces labels that includes injectors, rollers, cigarette papers, and cigarette and pipe tobaccos. 

Cherokee Tobacco: An Exceptional Value

Lately, I have been rolling cigarettes with Cherokee Mellow Blend Premium Pipe Tobacco produced by the Cherokee Tobacco Company of South Boston, Va. With Top 70mm papers, I find this makes a quite satisfactory non-filtered cigarette of exceptional value. Locally, this tobacco is available for $15.99 per pound and Top cigarette papers are currently $1.29 per one hundred. As a rule of thumb, six ounces of tobacco produces around two hundred cigarettes which is the equivalent of a carton. Thus, a carton of non-filtered cigarettes rolled with Cherokee tobacco costs $8.57. If filtered cigarettes are desired, top cigarette plugs are available locally for $1.29 per one hundred and this would increase the cost per carton to $11.15. The Cherokee Tobacco Company has a website (http://www.cherokeetobacco.com) but it is apparently under construction following an officious and unreasonable attack levied by the FDA: http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/ucm237506.htm.
