Imperial Tobacco Australia 2 × 25g Riverstone Rum.

24/02/22 @ 1100 am approximately I brought 2 pkts of 25gm roll your own as it's cheaper than 1 × 50gm. I rolled a smoke for my long drive. 20 minutes later I pulled over to roll another smoke as I had to drag the living living beep out of my last one same thing happened so I checked my pouch and found chunkey bits of tobacco. I checked my other new packet and found the same problem. I turned back around and headed back to Woworths to get a refund. After showing them all my evidence of the chunkey tobacco in both packets they refused to refund me.

Desired outcome: Either my money refunded or my 2 × 25gm of Riverstone Rum roll your own please. Thank you. And can you growl Woolworths please for not refunding me

Imperial Tobacco Australia Horizon menthol

I have smokes horizon menthol my whole smoking like as I feel they are smooth and fresh.

I ran out of my usual 50s pack and went to Woolworths to get a 20 pack. When I was handed the box I made sure they were the right ones. When I arrived home I opened the pack to find they were NOT menthol. At first I thought I must have read wrong and I was given the wrong ones. So I looked at the packet and it said horizon menthol. I’m extremely disappointed my email is [protected]@hotmail.com please feel free to contact me to discuss the matter

Imperial Tobacco Australia JPS blue + firm touch filter 23's

On 20th Feb at 8pm, 20th Feb 10pm, and 21st Feb at 6pm, the cigarette filters disengaged from the cigarettes which fell to the ground. It was a bit off-putting for fear it could fall on clothing and burn a hole. It happened more than half way through smoking the cigarettes with my husband, who had it happen once on 20th Feb 2022. There just didn't seem to be enough wrapping around the butt. We bought the cigarettes at Wayville Foodland supermarket, Adelaide, SA.

The serial number on the packet is 1G053K1 1449 (See picture)

Desired outcome: I would like the cigarettes replaced as they are very expensive, and didn't get what I paid for.

Desired outcome: I would like the pouch replaced

Imperial Tobacco Australia Champon ruby

Ever since champion ruby packets went from being made in New Zealand and changed to the Netherlands the quality of the product has become disgusting. The tobacco is dry and harsh and doesnt even taste the same. $120 for rubbish. May as well be smoking dirty jps crap!

This happens with every packet i buy no, I can no longer support the brand champion ruby.

Desired outcome: I want the name of the product changed to reflect the change in the product. It should not be allowed to be called champion ruby as it is clearly not the original champion ruby.

I hear ya! I smoke the NZ Ruby for 20+ years...you could not ask for a better tobacco. Tried the Netherlands one and its not even close. It should not be called "Ruby" at all. Its worse than some cheaper tobacco I have tried. Either they get the mix right, or change the name to something else! As for the new zip packets, they are useless. I end up cutting them open, extracting the whole lug of tobacco and putting it back into an old flip pouch.

Imperial Tobacco Australia Horizon purple in the 30 cigarettes pack

Every pack of horizon purple 30s that I have purchased in the last two weeks from linden place supermarket linden place doveton 3177 have had the opening lid stuck to the inner part of the pack. I loose almost the entire front row as the only way to get it open is to use a stanley knife to cut along the front and the corners, sometimes cutting into the cigarettes. I realise this sounds rather petty but it’s very frustrating, not to mention the cost of each one I render useless by cutting into them.

Desired outcome: Please fix this problem so that it doesn’t cost me for cigarettes that I can’t use, thank you. I have tried to upload a picture but all I get is upload error.

Imperial Tobacco Australia Champion Legendary Ruby 25g

The quality of Australian tobacco is ridiculous right now, especially given the price. My CR pouches have taken a sharp descent in quality, being dry and brittle making them barely worth a smoke. To add insult to injury, the latest pouch I bought from Malvern, Victoria contains hard clumps of what appears to be resin or other plant material? These are completely unsmokeable, yet contribute to the overall weight of the product.

I'm not trying to spend money on clumps of resin, sticks, stems or otherwise unusable material! Imperial Tobacco needs to have a serious overhaul of their QA processes as it is frankly disgusting to treat customers this way, especially as they continue to support you despite rising prices.

Desired outcome: Reimbursement for the clumps of resin and other unsmokeable material that comprised an unacceptable fraction of my Champion Ruby pouch.
