Hi, fellow Alchemists of Flavour! Before I dive in and make a dog's dinner of some mixes, could I ask for your opinions please? I have recently taken delivery of some LMP and Glazed Doughnut from Arron's GB, and wondered if they can be used as standalones, or would they fare better in recipes? If the later, does anyone have any tasty suggestions which I might have the ingredients for!? Thanks in advance Andy B Andy, I've recently mixed glazed donuts alot with the following: FA strawberry, Cap Danish Cinnamon Swirl, Bavarian cream and Cap Horchata and butterscotch and Cap Cake Batter. Donuts with strawberry and cream was awesome. I've got some donuts with Danish,cake batter and cream if you trying some? |

glen despite the fact you painted such a good picture of it due to my high blood pressure and lack of patience I think I'll let someone else have the chance. Lovely offer though my friend.

In summary:
Rollies seem to be the most popular choice largely due to their cheaper financial implications.
Some have said here that rollies are the only tobacco to deliver a satisfying smoke. One can't argue with that. I think it's fair to assume though that rollies would not be so popular if a pack of cigarettes was not outrageously expensive.
If the govt really cared then they'd raise the price of rolling tobacco to a comparative cost of tailor made cigarettes.
Thank-you all for taking part.

It was funny seeing school kids smoking More cigarettes that were like long brown twigs and Sobraine Cocktail with the different colour filters. Not every day mind you, one mate worked as a paperboy and *ahem* helped himself to the odd packet of cigarettes now and then so we'd try something exotic now and then. When I used to go to certain clubs in London several ladies smoked Sobraine Cocktails or Black Russian. Great days. |

Started on Consulate at age 11, moved to a packet of 5 No 6 from the train station vending then dabbled with B&H and Silk Cut blue as that's what me mum smoked so easily nicked from her packet. Long stretches on Embassy No 1, Lambert & Butler, Rothmans, Royals, JPS then over to rollies started on Drum then the last 10yrs or so on Amber Leaf. Bearing in mind I have never moved more than 1.5miles from where I was born I don't think area has much to do with it, more what you can afford at the time so when I was rich I smoked the Rothmans then when I were poor it were the Amber Leaf I too started on Consulate TJ and at that time they had wee green stars around the filter. |

I was never ever tempted by roll ups. I'd have rather smoked my dead Granny's ashes. A strange notion for sure ..... but would you not have had to smoke them in a roll up  No, I would have purchased an ornate pipe. As an Ulster woman she would have appreciated that.  |

Way back when, every smoker I knew had there own brand they would buy religiously over the others, whether it was B&H, Regal, Club they stuck with it, no geographical boundaries, just brand loyalty I suppose you would call it now. Then, when the prices went up too much, you either switched to roll ups (like me) or started buying cheaper tabs. Loads of people ended up on Mayfair just because they were the budget tailor made option. I was never ever tempted by roll ups. I'd have rather smoked my dead Granny's ashes. |

I was on JPS for yrs when I was on a ferry a lot so got duty free, then moved onto G.V roll ups for 20 odd yrs On the south coast but I cant say i'v really seen a regional bias, maybe a age thing/fad though @broadblaster you realise the idea of being a stowaway is that you get off the ferry somewhere and not stay on it for years. |

I know it's a dirty word but I'm curious.
I've always thought there was a regional bias towards certain brands.
For example London/South East Marlboro Lights.
Yorkshire/Derbyshire Regal/Embassy/Lambert&Butler.
Cornwall roll ups.
I used to be a Marlboro Light/Menthol (when I felt all Bohemian) kind of guy.
I think age has an impact too.
Anyone else?
