I have purchased a few bags of gambler tobacco in the past few months and it seems there has been a problem with the taste of it, it tastes like crap. I purchased the last bag on june 27th 2022 and am not satisfied with the product. There is something strange about the taste of it that is not right. This was purchased at the dollar store. Thank you!

Gambler, I didn't mind the twigs I often find in your tobacco cause I liked your tobacco, it was the perfect tobacco flavor, strength and everything. It didn't burn or irritate my throat like some other tobaccos do. BUT two times in one year this bizarre odity happened while smoking that left me sick and baffled: Suddenly, as I am taking my next puff, that...

Gambler Tobacco cigarette tobacco

I have been rolling my cigarettes for 10 + years now. The pipe tobacco has always been the cheapest. After all these years I've decided to try cigarette tobacco (gambler). It was a decision I made to save time rolling with the advertising of ready to roll, ie., no cleaning or minimal cleaning of stems, sticks large leaves and all around better quality. I started with 1 bag of tube cut gambler full flavor. The 1st bag was minimal cleaning, however, the 2nd bag was not. So I decided to spend $19.99 for the other gambler (upgrade). The bag was a waste of money as has the tube cut for $13.99. After trying this product 5 times I've made the decision that this cigarette tobacco is no better than regular pipe tobacco. At this point I decided to reach out to your company and let you know that your product is worthy of a complaint. I'm extremely disappointed and would like some compensation for the false advertising. I'm not sure what other options I have as far as another company. Gambler has always held a very high reputation. What's happening to your product?

Gambler Tobacco pipe tobacco

I got to smoke half of a big today thanks to Gambler Tobacco. I am very vigilant in keeping my bag sealed from the first open so I know nothing could of crawled in and it looked to be a long dead, dried up bug. It almost looked like a meal worm but it had long legs in the front and I keep reptiles so I know it wasn't a meal worm in any of its morphing stages so I'm unsure, but I have a photo I was going to send them before I realized I can't find their contact info online. The last two bags I've purchased have had a disgusting chemical like taste that doesn't allow me to finish half a cigarette anyway tho. They may be the reason I'll quit supporting the tobacco industry 😄

Gambler Tobacco Gambler tobacco

The last time I bought a bag of your tobacco I had rolled some up and found it had a strange odor when smoked. It also gave me a wierd felling. Then I discovered that the odor I smelled was marijuana. This is not cool. I had never smoked that in my life and wasn't planning to start any time soon. As the bag was still sealed from the factory, this means it was processed that way from your plant. I will no longer be buying any more Gambler tobacco.

Not fake news...happened to me too. Rolled some butts and when smoked smelled just like pot. Probably grown near pot plants and when harvested picked up some of the pot plant with it . You ever seen fields of tobacco ? Would be a good place to hide your pot plants growing...lol.

Gambler Tobacco Shake

I've been noticing more and more shake in this product every time I use it. And to make matters worse their website has no complaint and or email to do this. So I'm doing it here.
I'm sure this and a buck 35 may actually get me a cup of coffee. And complaining here will be like a fart in a hurricane. But its better than nothing.
I've used this product for over 4 years and it just keeps getting worse.

I just bought two large bags as I roll for my whole family, (been buying Gambler for almost 5 years now), and they smell bad. Store owner told to me take it home and let it dry out a couple days. Oh goody, then I can pay top dollar for stale tobacco? He says it smells fine to him. Is it just my nose? I know the store rotates it's stock and they get fresh shipments in all the time so it's not them. but man, I'm afraid to smoke this stuff because it might have mold etc in it.

Gambler Tobacco bags half full and tobacco gets stale

I've been roling my own for at least 7 years. The price has increase and the bags have gotten smaller and most of the time the bags don't even look full.. I buy the bag that is 3oz. which last me a week but by the time i get towards the end of the bag the tobacco does not want to roll so i end up wasting about a ounce in the bag. I feel if i purchase a 3oz bag it should stay fresh and i should be able to use the whole bag. But it jams up my rolling machine the top a matic which is not a cheap machine. I would really like a sugestion on how to keep my tobacco fresh threw out my bag . I'm really, really am tired of wasting tobacco its like throwing money down the drain.. charles sells 424Arctic St. Buchanan, Michigan 49107 Date of birth 11/01/1964 my email address is [protected]@yahoo.com

what gets me all RILED UP is not only about gambler tobacco, but about the numerous companies that provide our food and sundry items to us, a/k/a large chains.

the reason why the house of representatives have been misadvised as to the increase in the cost of living from 2009 to 2010 is because what they do not take into consideration is that when the price for gas skyrocketed to the STRATOSPHERE, prices went up and package volume stayed the same. THEN, you see, there was a cost of living increase. AND NOW,

how many of us notice that companies are not giving you the same cost per ounce (for instance) in a box of cereal (for instance). you do not get as much rice in a bag of rice that was priced $x.xx in 2008 as you do today: you get far less for that amount of money. but even so, the prices have gone way up while your income may be decreasing.

we owe it to ourselves to make complaints to all consumer boards and to congress on how we are being scammed and therefore, how faulty data is, especially in this 10th year, a year of the census!

I roll my own cig's seems like in the last six months the mfg's have changed the cut of their tobacco it use to be long strands but now the stuff looks like its been thru a wood chipper. I get alot of stems and sticks that I have to pick out and the stuff tastes like RAG WEED. Right now I'am looking for a better brand. All these brands have changed their Tobacco Cut.

Gambler Tobacco Poor quality, like powder

Like others here, I have been buying this product for several years, and the last several bags have had tobacco that is so fine and powdery, it's hard to roll and while smoking, can fall right out of the tube. So it's also dangerous. Won't be buying this product again.

I am so so mad! We have used our last little bit of money we had and bought a pack of your tobacco! The tobacco is so so dry that neither my wife or myself can get anymore than 7 puffs on a cigarrette! I feel totally cheated and its not as if your tobacco is cheap either, I want my money back and I will certainly NEVER buy your product again!

Im so dissapointed in your product with the big stems and its just so dry it turns to dust i buy the big bags and every bag i buy is the same it seems like it keeps getting worse at almost $30 a bag i cant afford to waste my money on something i cant even use its bad enough that it wont even stay lit half the time and the other half of the time it burns up so quick its like you dont even have time to smoke it its bad enough as a smoker that were bieng over taxed over charged and can no-longer smoke where we want were being run out of public places and we no-longer even get cupons or promotional inciniteves like the pedemption programs as a smoker we are no-longer being treated like customers to them we are just money in their pocket and food on their table in a society where everyone tells us to quit smoking surgons refuse to operate on some patients for the simple fact that they smoke if it wasnt for us loyal smokers you would be out of buisness by now i would think that you would at least try to implove the quality of your product its the last vice i have and as a consumer i can barley afford that and its very dissapointing that when i finaly scrape enough money together to buy your product that its not even useable i cant roll it i cant smoke it the quality of your product is greatly declining. As an american i cannot stand being told to quit something i have the right to i already feel as tho its taxation with out repesentation we've went to war aginst things like that so as a company it would be in your best intrest to keep your product satasfactory for the customers you do have before were all gone

My family has been using this tobacco a long time. I chose to roll my cigarettes because of the cost of buying them and I am on a fixed income. The last 2 months we have gotten 4 bags of stale dust. I sent my daughter to pick up a bag and she mistakenly picked up pipe tobacco and the store would not take it back or exchange it. It has cost me 12.99 plus tax for each, so I now lost about 55.00. I can't afford to lose any more. My family and I are switching our tobacco. If the company doesn't care about consumers, maybe another company will. Very disappointed

I'm very dissatisfied that I have to keep spending money and throwing away money. I guess I'm just going to have to find another brand since your company does not reply to emails that you hide behind

I have been rolling for over a year. I am very upset after the first quarter of the bag there is absolutely no more menthol. I'm a very experience with rolling and have smoked for over 40 years. I do so wish you could improve the menthol bags so I don't have to supplement with TOP mentol. I would even go for a spray that would make the rest of tobacco menthol.

Thanks so much for making an alternative solution to fire control paper cigerettes.
