reviews and complaints

Hey guys iv been smoking your brand for a while now, today i have purchased a pouch and had a cigarette and it made a crackling noise at me when burning, then i found plastic in your product.
Very disappointed, seems i can't trust your product now.
I would like to be reimburse to full value of pouch and possible lung cancer later in life.

Can send photo of plastic

I have been getting cigarettes with holes in em recently, probably something sharp on your machines somewhere. Some are close to the filter, ranging all the way up. If it was only once, I could live with this, but in different packs means this will most likely happen more often. Trying to close the hole with my finger while smoking the cigarette has been less than enjoyable, at least I found out that smoking human skin isn't my idea of enjoyment. So I suppose a thank you is in order.

Hi,

I purchased a packet of jps superkings menthol. I opened the packet and smoked one and it tasted so stale and sickly..After a while i thought it might be just one so had another one and the same.It was stale and sickly taste. I buy them from a tobacconist who gets new stock all the time so I know it was not sitting a shelf..I have taken a pic of the barcode I kept the packet but threw the rest of the packet...Alot of money wasted.

I bought pouch of champion ruby and it's got all long hard brown branches I can't even roll it what a joke they are expensive as is and when u get hard dried up twigs of tobacco not happy been customer with champion ruby for years here is why I'm pulling out of my tobacco so much of it my family have been smokin this for years it's happend couple times already especially when I are paying 55 a pouch

I keep finding large bits of tobacco. I really enjoy the product but it's expensive and I am not getting what I'm paying for, sadly if I keep losing my money due to this issue I will be forced to change my brand choice. It would be greatly appreciated if you could find a way to reimburse me for my losses of your product and for my loss of financial outlay. I hope this is helpful in your endeavours to supplie a premium product. Feel free to contact me at [protected]@gmail.com

To whom this may concern, I am frustrated at the packaging with which I receive my tobacco in. Is it possible to have a self sealing packets like port royal or similar products, I lose at least 3 to 4 cigarettes worth of tobacco per packet. Due to packet opening up and sticky tab only good for 5 opening before rendered useless. I buy 3 packs per 2 weeks, so with ever increasing prices this amount adds up over time. Would really like to get feedback from my query. Thank you disgruntled consumer

I bought the above on 31st December 2019 from Woolworths Waverley Gardens Mulgrave and was disappointed when opened as tobacco was only half of what it is normally. Is very grainy and a lot darker than normal. I generally roll about 65 cigarettes per pouch but with this one only rolled 30. I usually buy 2 to 3 pouches per week but this week will need to buy an extra one to get me through. Very disappointing.

Hello,

On January the 1st at approximately 730pm I purchased a 25g pouch of Tobacco from the Urunga BP, (printed number 09312 12:43) When having my first smoke I immediately noticed the horrible taste that made me quite ill, I took it back to the service Center straight away, but was told there is no exchanges or refunds as the plastic was taken off, I have been using your product for quite a long time now and this is the only time the product has tasted absolutely horrible, BP are quite clear on the no refund policy but I am seeking a return, I have stopped using the product and have purchased another Champion ruby pouch,

Looking forward to your reply
Regards

Why am I paying over $40 for sticks and tailor made tobacco in a pouch? I bought 4 25 gram pouches because I work out of town and for 2 weeks I was stuck smoking this garbage. I found hair, rocks, sticks and more hair in all my pouches. I am being charged full price for tobacco that has clearly been swept up off the floor. The fact you are brave enough to call this premium has made me furious. The ACCC agrees that selling sticks and hair for $40 a pouch is a breach of my rights and I look forward to being refunded.

Hi i have been buying parker and simpson red 30s for a while now and usually very good but the last few packs i have purchased the tobacco is not shredded properly causing the cigarettes to constantly go out and also quite dangerous as the large chunks usually fall out which burns the skin and car seats or whatever it falls on, i have tried to take the packs back to the outlet but because open will not replace they are very expensive and i am tired of wasting them, the barcode on this particular pack is 9 327329 013698. thankyou.

I've searched on the imperial tobacco company's site and there seems to be no information on the ingredients in white ox tobacco. Can you please tell me the ingredients otherwise I might take further action. Sorry for being blunt but thank you. I hope to here from you guys soon

I love the superior dark white ox blend by the way. It really hits the spot 👍👌✌
Great stuff guys

Hey I'm just making a complaint at the fact that I have just switched from port royal to jps ryo and I'm disappointed at the fact I have to pay tax on massive pieces of tobacco that look like bark and are not smokable this is the second pouch I have purchased and have found this problem if this is something apart of your JPS RYO I would like to be told so I can switch back

To whome it may concern,

I have been smoking JPS Blue for a lot of years, I have never had a problem with your product however I have brought a packet today and several of the cigarettes have had big chuncks of tobacco in them that take up half of the product and near impossible to smoke. This meaning I am not getting the full product purchased.

Moving forward I look forward to reaching a suitable outcome for both of us

Kind regards

Hi, I'm a devoted Champion Ruby smoker, and have never had a concern with the quality of the product until recently. In the last 3 pouches I've purchased I've found large chunks of stalk. I overlooked the first two finds, but today upon opening the pouch and pulling out a small amount to put in my rolling tin, ready to go out, I found a large stalk that weighs almost a gram! I'm not impressed given that I pay $35 for 20gms, and could get other brands of tobacco for less money. Could you please address this issue, as I'm seriously considering taking my business elsewhere after this - 3 strikes out of 3 is pretty rough !

It is unfortunate as to buy a packet of cigarettes the price is way high and to find that half the time the cigarettes don't burn normally or to have defects is unacceptable and frustrating to say the least. It feels like they are stealing our money and providing us with faulty products more and more each time. I have attached one of many that have had large holes within the filter of the cigarettes. How is this even possible? Not happy.
Please respond to my email for compensation please at [protected]@optusnet.com.au

I bought a 50g pouch of drum fresh menthol tobacco 2 weeks ago which cost me $92 which will last me for 3 weeks, I am on a disability support pension. The first week I was using the pouch to roll my own cigarettes, I noticed about 30 pieces of fine long hard tobacco which was in my pouch. I call up the head office at baulkhills on friday I was speaking to a lady about this complaint. I received a letter today saying for me to return the pouch and tobacco in the reply-paid envelope and then it will be investigated and replaced will be sent to me. I think I should be sent a brand new 50g pouch of drum fresh menthol tobacco for compensation. Also I find this unacceptable and very disgusting. Further I have told my family and friends about this brand.

Hi, I have been purchasing champion ruby for over 15years and It's always been my choice of pick. Somehow in the few years your tobacco standards have gone from great to now 1put of 3 cigarettes have large chunks of stem or uncut tobacco leaves. I bought a 50g packet this morning and have picked this out already (have maybe had 20 today) much appreciated if you resolve this or I'll have to switch to another supplier.
Thanks

Hi,
I am contacting you about the large bits of bark and other unidentifiable things i keep getting in my tobacco. Today i found that and also a seed head of some sort of grass. I pay alot for this product so i do not like it when i see i am paying for things i can not put in the cigarette. The other concern is that i assume the grass is a foreign species and i am well aware of what weeds can do to our environment and that our customs are very strict because of such things. I am not sure what i expect from this as i have never complained to a company before. The photo contains what i got out of my current 25g packet. I do not have a receipt on hand as i never take one but i only ever buy my tobacco from Rainbow Fuels Caloundra Qld and i could easily get proof of purchase if necessary. Regards Amy

I was rolling a cigarette with my tobacco and as I'm pulling a little pinch of tobacco out of my pouch and placing it on my paper a small 3 piece of rusted chain fell with it and I dont own any chain jewellery and no one has access too my pouch so it has most definitely broken off of a worker or something and fallen into this pouch. I would really like something done about this.

I have purchased champion ruby for many years as it is my tabaco of choice. It is no longer to the standard I used to purchase as a consumer and i am paying double the price due to Australian government taxes. Im not normally one to complain but I have recieved multiple packets now with several big uncut chunks of unsmokeable tabaco. I just want to receive the quality product I used to seeing as it now cost so much.
