British American Tobacco Benson and hedges blue switch

Hi. My name is Mariette. I have been smoking B&H Blue switch for quite some time know. This is not the first time that I am buying a packet of cigarettes and then some of the cigarettes are not menthol after I press the ball. Cigarettes are costing a lot of money and if I buy menthol cigarettes, I want menthol cigarette not something else. I have the sigaret with me in the packet they can collect it from me if they want to. Thank you. Mariette. [protected]

British American Tobacco kent white

Good day,

I purchased a carton of Kent White on Sunday the 9th of February 2020 from Pick n Pay Douglasdale, South Africa and two boxes so far have defected cigarettes. The filter paper has not been stuck properly and the filters are loose. When you try and smoke them it is virtually impossible as the smoke escapes from the loose paper. Smoking is a very expensive habit and I would like a replacement if possible otherwise I will switch to something else.

My email address for contact is michy.[protected]@gmail.com

British American Tobacco platinum disguised as menthol in my box!

Good Day,

On Saturday the 1st Feb 2020 I bought two packs of B&H blue switch from Pick n Pay Gordon's Bay. Multiple cigarettes from both packs taste like platinum. I cannot smoke flavoured cigarettes because the taste makes me nauseous. Which means most of my smokes I either nipped or had to give away. Then yesterday (4 Feb 2020) I bought another pack from the same Pick n Pay and so far I have not had one menthol... ALL PLATINUM! The outside of the cigarette looks like a menthol so there is no way of knowing. It's like having a pack of smarties.

I wasn't going to bother complaining but after my third pack from a completely different day of purchase and so far not ONE menthol I am now laying a complaint as it has become a waste of money.

batch number 13319J49

British American Tobacco pall mall blue

I have changed from Winston XS Blue to Pall Mall Blue about a month ago, I am very dissapointed in this product. Please see the attached pictures, there is no filters in them. Looks like the filters melted away somehow or was never inserted. What a waste of my hard earned money. I will be changing back to Winston and also advise all my smoking friends and family to avoid any products manufactured by British Ameracn Tobacco.

British American Tobacco rothman blue tobacco 25g

I live in Cairns and I bought a pouch of Rothmans Blue tobacco 25g at 1:30pm today, Tuesday 8th October, and by 4pm my partner and I had 8 rollies all made by a rolling machine. I went to divide the pouch into our two leather pouches and I noticed that we had bigger all tobacco in either pouch. Previously I was able to fill my partners smaller pouch with 2/3 of a packet of tobacco but now it looks basically empty. I grabbed our scales and weighed the tobacco in the Rothmans pouch ( I also took a picture) and it weighed in at 10.63g. I also took a photo of a roller made with my machine and it weighed in at 0.24g. So if you calculate 8 Rollins @ 0.24= 1.94g add the 10.63g pouch and you get a total of 12.55g. So that is a discrepancy of 12.45 g. Very annoyed considering the price of tobacco these days.

Buying cigarettes that come broken is upsetting. It has happened more than twice and I feel let down by such a big well branded company. What are benson and hedges going to do to rectify this issue. I have emailed before but had no response. I look forward to your response this time round.
Thank you
Unhappy with your quality of product.
Considering to change brand.

British American Tobacco quality of product

Good day me and my husband smokes paul mall recently known as princeton daily, issue I have is that the quality of your product is horrible, the paper and filter quality is even worst than the cheapest brand on the market. Some of them even has small holes in it, at this stage it is better to switch brands and rather pay a few bucks extra for something that is actually worth the money, kind regards Elene [protected], [protected]@true.co.za

British American Tobacco ryo tobacco

I have been buying windfeild gold for years and this continues to happen with every pouch I buy. There are big pieces of cardboard like tobacco that are completely unusable and I bet are used to add "weight" to the bag. There is constantly quite large peices of bark also and it it just so frustrating after spending so much money on a brand that is meant to be "superior" to the others.
It is disappointing that the only way I can contact the company is by writing to them instead of emailing.

British American Tobacco winfield max blue 32

Afternoon,
I'm writing to you to advise that I have come across this cigarette in my packet, we pay big dollars for our cigarettes here in Australia, at nearly $43 per packet, over a dollar per cigarette. I enjoy smoking and my preferred taste is the Winfield Blue. I was wondering if you refund or credit?
I look forward to hearing from you.

Warm regards,
Matt

British American Tobacco product

Last night I purchased a packet of Benson and Hedges cigarettes 25 as stated by the staff member only to arrive home and find that they only contained 23 (as stated on the packet).

The Government has recently increased the price by 12+% and now your Company are selling cigarettes which only contain 23 instead of 25 - please explain to me how we can be charged such outragious prices and receive less than previously packaged.

I look forward to hearing from you...

British American Tobacco winfield red rolling tobacco 50 gramme

Hello, i recently purchased a 50 gramme pouch of Winfield Red as I regularly do. However on this particular day upon opening my pouch I was confronted with a pouch full of very dry and not very fresh tobacco! I returned it immediately to the Coles store in Whyalla where I was told they couldn't exchange or refund my money and that I'd need to contact Winfield Red. After bit of research I found Yous and decided to inform you of firstly the substandard product and the service I received.

British American Tobacco pall mall

Good Day

This morning at 10am (South African Time) i took out a cigarette from my box of Pall Mall bought at Rockview Service Station in Amanzimtoti, Durban.

Two Cigarettes, have holes in the paper and cannot be smoked, this is the second time i am having to throw cigarettes away from my box of Pall Mall Blue.

When this is my last two cigarettes, it is extremely frustrating and as i am an extremely loyal customer smoking Pall Mall for almost 7 years, i feel i should be compensated for this. Refunded or replaced.

Attached are the pictures.

Thank you
ND MacNicol

British American Tobacco kent menthol cigarettes - broken cigarette in sealed packet

Good day

I brought a packet of Kent Menthol Cigarettes yesterday, 28 August 2017 at a local Bottle store. The packet was sealed as always but after opening it, I discovered the damaged cigarette as per attached photo's. I really think that this is not a good reflection on the company's Brand Name & for me it is not nice to pay for expensive cigarettes just to through away some of it.

Kind Regards

Adri Prinsloo
