Found a few resin looking lumps in my pouch. The couple of smokes i had out of it tasted very odd. Not sure what it is.

Red plastic in the pouch

I was near the end of a packet of JPS Gold tobacco and discovered a thin piece of plastic in my tobacco, it's about an inch long. Lucky I wasn't rolling it in the dark. I have photos for proof.

Hi there I have bought numerous packs of cigarettes from my local garage and but in the last 3 months the smokes I ha e been purchasing have been stale and are just absolutely disgusting I have informed the people that work there many times and won't do anything about it I ask before I purchase arr these a new batch as the last packets have putrid and un smokeable and there for goin else were and spending even more money I'm not impressed at all as they ain't cheap from the survo but u knw support small business they say but not getting what I paid for and for them to not even wanna try to come up with A solution with their customer I think it's very apalling.
I take them back to them and all I get is owell u have opened the packet now and there is nothing we can do.
I have even opened the packet right infront of them and still same response.
I would love some sort of out come as I have wasted hundreds of $ on these un smokeable cigarettes.
Thank you and kind regards Carley

Hi, I recently bought a packet of parker&Simpson red 30 and one of the cigarettes filters was not on properly.

Thank you David

Hello,
My name is Emma Olsen and I have been buying Riverstone Tobacco for 5 years after switching from Port Royal Tobacco. I usually find your product high quality, but the last 3 pouches I have bought have all contained large sticky, black tar like blobs (sorry but that is the only way I can describe them). They are 100% not smokable and all 3 pouches have at least 4-6 of these blobs, ranging from large to small in size. I was so unsure of these blobs that the first packet I found one in I actually disposed of it as I was a scaredy cat. Maybe they are tar balls, I am not sure but it has made me unsure and I feel that I am being ripped off especially with the weight :( I would like to enjoy Riverstone again and wanted to let you know as two other friends that also smoke Riverstone have said the same thing about the blobs.
Thank you for taking the time to read and hope you have a good day.
Kind Regards
Emma Olsen

In my 25 gram Riverstone rum tobacco pouch I found a 5.5 cm piece of cotton rope, also numerous small lumps of solid black tar woth also has been in many packets of same product ive brought. How is this possible? Supermarket said they can't refund and to take this up with manufacturer. What a waste of money 😡 Seems I've just bern given run around with no source of getting a explanation or my money back. Please advise.

The new White Ox's 50 gram pouch is absolutely crap. It is too small for the amount of tobacco you're trying to put in the pouch. The sticky tab only works for the first half of the day after opening a new pouch. The extra long flap that is suppose to keep the pouch closed is too long and is only good when the sticky tab also works. The zip seal stops locking itself properly after half a week and makes the opening smaller which isn't good for people with big hands like myself. Especially when getting low in the pouch, I have to tip the contents onto a tray so I can access the product easily to roll a smoke which can't be done while in public.

I got a pack of parker & Simpson 40s yesterday from my local supermarket.
Have been smoking them.
And today noticed 4 smokes stuck together. Pulled them apart. And noticed a dead bug, that has been dead for a long time. Photo will be attached.
In 14 years of smoking, i have never seen anything like this

I purchased a 15 gram pouch of tobacco on the 9/12/2021 and upon opening and rolling a smoke I have found a clump of black tar like consistency blob of stuff, the batch code/number is attached in a photo along with a video of the black blob…

I am writing to you about your tabcoo for starters i have had lots of sticks in my tabcoo the last few packets I have brought. Also I noticed that your brand of tabcoo burns very fast. You seem to only get a few puffs and the smoke is gone. Also the sticky on the pouch didn't stick on two of my packets and I lost almost all my tobacco. So I haven't been very impressed with this product lately at all. Regards Pleshette Jolly.

We bought the champion legendary Ruby as we use to like smoking it but it was nothing like it us to be. Not satisfied with the change in it so we have gone to buying cheaper n nicer tasting tobacco. Not happy😒back in the day it had flavour/taste n enjoyable to smoke. Why do things have to change as the saying goes if it's not broken don't try to fix it. Obviously cutting cost n forgot about customers what they like. Well done this customer won't be buying it again.

Between two packets of tally-ho papers (50 gummed papers each pack) I have come across more than a dozen papers without gum.
I have started keeping them for evidence and presently have 7.
The fact these are all from the last pack I opened I'm not happy and for the first time considering changing products.
Very disappointing

Hi I have had several cigarettes very dry and 2 large peices of bark. I have kept for proof.
This is the 2nd time. Thank you

I have been a frequent customer of your tobacco for several years.
Of recent I have been purchasing contaminated pouches of tobacco.
Many stalks and stem.
Many black tar chunks.
I have had many discussion with the tobacconist about the level of unusable product within the tabacco.
I have even tried purchasing the product from different locations.
I do enjoy the flavour of this tobacco and as a result have continued to purchase this.
It's about 1 out of 5 pouches that isn't contaminated.

I have stick, bark, basically unsmokable tobacco, from 4 or 5 pouches, generally 50g, time to time, depending on finances, I may have to purchase the 25g pouch...
I have the pouches in question and also the non tobacco material in relation to this matter. I would much appreciate your customer complaints sectionn looking into this matter, thus look forward to your reply.
Thanking you kindly

When myself and partner started buying these pouches they were great now we either get hard thick stalk/barky pieces all through a pouch or is got that much loose tobacco you loose half not to mention how sticky the tab is it rips the outer plastic there for the tabs completely useless and that's not what you want when you basically have a whole pouch of loose tobacco and at the price of $54 on average its becoming more than likely we will have to change brands.

Hello, I have had this happen before but decided to complain this time. I have found 2 dark gooey hard lumps in my tobacco. Resemblance of animal faeces. I don't think I should be getting this in my tobacco. Photo taken next to Bic lighter head for size.

Thank you for your time.

I bought Parker & Simpson 25's blue, I was about half finished a smoke when I flicked my ash the whole smoke came out of the butt, didn't think much of it. Later that night I was driving and lit a smoke before I took off, next thing you know I had the butt in my hand and the smoke was burning through my pants, nearly caused an accident. It's like there is no glue holding the butt to the smoke, pay the extra to have cigarettes and you can't smoke them anyway because they fall apart. NOT HAPPY!
