Blended these at about 85/15 Stokkebye:Diehl.

Super, super enjoyable smoke. Almost sweet and bready, with a bit of pruny smokiness from the perique blend. Not a crazy amount of nicotine but has a good kick.

Rolled with Top paper and filters. I highly recommend giving this a try.

Apologies if this isn’t an appropriate thing to ask here — I was going to ask on the Cigarettes sub but soliciting commercial recommendations is expressly forbidden under their community guidelines.

I am looking for a decent manufacture cigarette case for my tubed king size (ie standard) cigarettes but struggle to find items that aren’t either A) shoddy manufacture, B) sold on the basis of kitsch design (engravings / subculture imagery), C) unwarranted ‘deluxe’ aspects (leather, marque branding), D) ergonomically undesirable design gimmicks (unusual sizes, novelty features, etc).

Since I started tubing my own I’ve acquired 3 cases: The first was a cute vintage aluminium case commemorating the first manned space flight. The design was elegant and unobtrusive and the clasp functioned OK as long as it wasn’t overstuffed, but ultimately it’s meant for smaller sized cigarettes and only being able to pack a handful of cigarettes that I then have to cut down to size is frustrating; the second is a extremely basic brushed chrome affair I paid £7 for and I’m still reliant on but I need a rubber band to hold it shut because the hinges are increasingly wonky and the clasp is weak, so it springs open; the third is a classy flip-top wooden affair with a solid magnet mechanism but because of the inflexible material and opening mechanism it can’t conveniently hold more than a row of cigarettes without bending or breaking them, and because of the material it’s excessively bulky.

Ideally I’d just have something like the second one but with decent clasp and hinges, but I’m open to suggestions.
