Imperial Tobacco Australia
reviews and complaints

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)

I've been smoking White ox tobacco for 20 years now and more more often I'm finding the pouch to contain more and more bark this is disappointing and getting more frustrating since the price has sky rocketed I don't feel like I am getting value for money I've purchased the pouch from a BP service station in Warwick farm nsw 2170 on the 17th Feb 2022

So sick of wasted smokes that are damaged within the pack when I open them.

Previously pin price size holes in them, this pack was the worst with chunks out of them.

Serial number?

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.

Hi guys just a heads up, over the last couple times I've purchased this product there have been large amounts of black gunk through out the product sometimes large sometime small parts.

I have added a photo for reference.

Open packet found some of these insideid like them replaced or a refund

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.

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.

i purchased a 25gram pouch yesterday 9th february 2022 from coles supermarket broken hill nsw and the bottom corners aren't sealed and tobacco has fallen out in my car and my home.i have attached photos. i hope the packaging is changed back to the original one.

Purchased at Coles, Port Pirie, South Australia, February 6th 2022.

The filters were not secured to the actual tobacco part of the cigarette.

Several filters easily came off when I was either taking cigarettes from the packet and also when tapping ash whilst cigarette was lit.

Atleast 75% of packet was affected, I have attached 2 photos showing the cigarette and seperate filter after I had taken it from the packet.

I have smoked white ox for 40 year + and am really peeved at the new packets I am buying its not the real white ox its not the new packets its different tobacco, I seems anywhere I buy it from its the same, I think its about time to stop smoking altogether, pic shows old and new packets and receipt

I bought a pack of 50 gram white Ox. It was sealed correctly but was unusually dry when I first opened it. As it is a costly product I started smoking it but it was giving me a cough I don't normally have so I stopped smoking it. I still have two thirds that I just can't use. I bought it from Endeavour Hills Shopping Centre Coles supermarket on the 3rd of February this year. The barcode is [protected].

I purchased a packet of Horizon Blue cigarettes from the cigarette counter at Woolworths Alexandra Hills (Queensland) 4161 yesterday 4th February 2022 and discovered upon opening packet (photo attached) that the silver lining paper was pulled away exposing the cigarettes.

I went back to Woolworths this morning and took the packet back to complain and exchange. I spoke to the store manager and he told me they were unable to exchange the cigarettes and I would have to contact yourselves to report.

I would appreciate an explanation for the condition of the cigarettes ($50 cost) and replacement of packet purchased.

I have found big clumps of tar in my pouch of tobacco that I bought from woolworths on Wednesday the 2nd of February

Hello

I have been consistently finding large pieces of stem or something of the sort in all my tobacco pouches. The tobacco has been extremely dry and crumbles when attempting to roll.

Far too expensive to be paying for this kind of thing.

This has happened over many purchases from varying outlets.

The photo attached is a small potion of what I have been finding

Thankyou

Please get rid of the tiny zip lock pouch now being used for JPS 25 gram rolling tobacco packaging, it is awful.

Because the tobacco is jammed so tightly into a tiny package it crumbles to dust far quicker.

Features of the old packaging were:

- it can't be reused again for black market tobacco,

- because it was loose it seemed like there was more (yay!) and didn't crumble so much,

- it was GREAT brand differentiation, now it looks like all the rest.

What I like about JPS is that it cured/dried for the perfect smoke. Most of the other brands have wet tobacco inside their pouches so it's hard to smoke, probably to add weight so they sell less for 25 grams. Well I just don't buy their wet rip off tobacco because I can't light it up and smoke it easily. Wet tobacco makes me cough and feels heavy on the chest - disgusting!

JPS is one of the few unflavoured tobacco brands which is excellent.

Keep up the good quality tobacco, but please, please, PLEASE go back to the old packaging, you're losing fans. If the new under sized zip lock packaging continues with its compressed tobacco I will be looking for another brand to buy and it won't be from Imperial. Sorry guys.

I have been buying this pouch for a while now and continuously find animal faeces. The first couple times it happened the fecal matter was around 5mm - 10mm but i let it go. But this time what appears to be rat poop was around 3cm long i feel sick , and i will not be purchasing again.

I have purchased two pouches of the new JPS endless blue, one through Jimmy Brings and the other through SmokeMart and am getting a headache from the smell of the tobacco and when smoking it, this has never happaned.

The pouch has changed and the manufacturing location too, I'm unable to smoke this tobacco due to the headache.
