Japan Tobacco International [JTI]

Hi,

I bought a pouch of Amber Leaf on Tuesday the 12th of May 2022 and was smoking away fine until I got near the end of the pouch and found three hard brown lumps that I can only describe as looking like hard lumps on manure in my pouch. I have been smoking your product for years and has always given the benefit of the doubt for any issues I have come across but I am absolutely disgusted with what I found in my pouch.

I can provide any information/photos you require to solve this issue and reimburse me for this disgusting issue present.

This was not a lump of tobacco but something else for sure.

I have always smoked your sterling loose tobacco. Today 9th of April 2022.I purchased a packet and all I can say is that there was more wooden type bits it than tobacco.Which you can't smoke.The price of a pouch is constantly rising and when I have to waste a 1/3 of a pouch because it's not fit for purpose. I bought the tobacco in my local premier shop so I would expect that they purchased it at there local cash and carry. Could you kindly respond to this complaint please.Thank you Lee Berry

To whom it may concern

I have been a smoker of your tobacco since about 1998 and have never had a problem with it untill recent months.
Firstly recently every single time in the last couple of months that I have purchased your tobacco the rizlas that come with it have been unusable some of them have been all stuck together literally nearly the whole packet one time and other times the rizlas not sticking properly and then when smoking the roll up it comes apart thus then ruining the rest of the roll up . This is not just once or twice but time after time .
Secondly the tobacco that I purchased this week had plastic through it, it's disgusting I mean like through some of the tobacco there was plastic very tiny bits running through it but when I was smoking one and could smell plastic burning I did not think anything of it but then when rolling one later that night I actually saw the plastic in the tobacco .
As you are aware tobacco is very expensive and and I am seriously very unhappy with this and it's not like I can take it back to the store to get a refund or another pouch. I really do not expect this from your product especially when your one of the highest quality tobacco and because of this one of the most expensive, obviously the reason I pay the expensive prices is because I do not want to smoke crap if I'm going to smoke I want to smoke something decent.
As a customer of yours for many many years I am very upset and angry about this and also out of pocket .

I've been an Amber Leaf, Hand Rolled, Tobacco smoker for at least a Decade... Yet recently the tobacco I've been purchasing, whilst always ordering the same - Original Amber Leaf - Has not been satisfying in the slightest!

I've been having to roll at least double/triple thick rollies to get the same quality smoke that I'm used to from your Tobacco product.

This has left me wondering what on earth you're doing with your product... Have you just had a bad blend during a prolonged production batch, as you had years ago when a Ton of pouches where compromised with your pipe tobacco scents... or is this an intentional change - where your Original hand rolled is as week, if not weaker than your Blond variety - which would mean it's time to switch to a different Brand Tobacco...

I truly miss the scent of a freshly opened pouch of Amber Leaf Original... what have you done to have lost that delicious scent and satisfying smoke?!?!

Foreign objects in the pouch with pictures as proof
Needs resolving looks like mud or even worse rat dropping and I have been smoking it and making me feel sick now come to think I might have smoked it please could someone help me I have never had this problem befor so hopefully it's only a bad pouch and nothing more

Hi I need to report a problem with a duty free box of 5 packs of 50g Amber Leaf bought at Tunis Airport. I have smoke Amber Leaf for over 13 years. But this batch tastes, smells awful and has bought on terrible chest congestion and coughing. Can you let me know who I can send this batch to be tested for any toxins that may have caused my illness?

I have used your brand of tobacco for many, many years and the passed 6-9months I have been increasingly disappointed with your product. I bave noticed the standard of tobacco has gone down, dramatically. The majority of my pouch is filled either hard, shards of what I assume, is tobacco as well as 'dust' at the bottom of each packet is very fine, loose tobacco. Not compact or the same texture as the rest of the pouch. When smoked it hurts my chest. Very disappointing that the standard has slipped. Your tobacco used to be enjoyable and good value for money.

I purchased 200 Sterling dual cigarettes in Lanzarote, after opening them I realised there is no click balls in any of the pack, I tried to return to the shop and I couldn't as I had opened them. I am very unhappy as ‘Sterling dual' has only ever been with the click ball so how can these carry on being sold without them, being normal cigarettes! I would never have purchased knowing there was no click ball and I think it's terrible you can still sell this brand with that name!

I bought a pack of Mayfair originals from Joyce's ballybane Galway today and there is only a small amount of tobacco in each cigarette I still have the pack and have pictures or these I can't smoke these as the bit of tobacco in them keeps falling out. I would like if ye could replace these as I will kept this pack till I get a reply from ye.

Kind regards
Paul M.

Hi, I am a smoker of amberleaf tabbacco for many years, but of late the papers that have been with the 50g have not been sticking, this has been happening for the past few weeks, what is the point of putting papers in that are not fit for purpose, I can even send you some back, as I don't use them anymore unless I'm desperate. so not very happy, not only can I have a good smoke, but I'm wasting half of my tabbacco, so I'm thinking of changing my tabbacco.

Not very happy customer

The amberleaf I bought had more wood in it than tobacco totally unsmokeable not usually like that as have been smoking it for years n don't get me started on the cigarette papers inside which were all stuck together n unusable not a happy costumer

I bought a pack of 50g Amber leaf tobacco never had any problems before but half way through the pack I found a piece of glass and I was horrified this could have been very dangerous. I would be grateful if someone could look into this for me as I would not like it to happen anyone else.

Cigarette ripped and considering they are so expensive and cigarettes if fine quality, I'm shocked

I have found for the second time a small peace of clear rubber 5mm x 2mm x 2mm which has now spoilt the remains. It took me a while to realise that when I was inhaling it tasted awful and began to taste chemically. I only found two bits but I suspect I have smoked other bits .

My tabacco was mostly dust was 50 grams that I couldn't smoke

I brought I packet of 59g tobacco from my local Tesco this morning, whilst on the motorway I was making a roll up and noticed a block grain piece and showed my friend, she then crushed it with her key and it was mushy. We threw it out the window and googled rat poo and the same thing came up. I am very shocked as I am always buying tobacco and would never expect this especially from a local Tesco. I can't even go back to the shop as I am off on holiday. This is very disappointing as you would only expect this from illegal tobacco or cheap fake tobacco. Please get back to me

I've been a loyal amber leaf smoker for 11 years now and I feel like the quality of the papers included in the packet has went down. My rollies often fall apart, and yes I do roll them correctly. Has a cheaper glue been used perhaps? The tobacco is fine as is the papers it's just the glue used. I find people who smoke golden Virginia don't have this problem as their tobacco comes with rizzla skins which are hard to beat.

Hi guys, 6 times I have had twigs and half leaves in my tobacco, you do a good product, but the standards are slacking, i would post a pic, but no facility here, thanks for your time, feel free to respond

I bought a pouch of 50g Amber leaf tobacco and a few days ago and at first I just thought it was me that thought it tasted strange and left a horrid taste in my mouth, much like a chemical taste. Also as I smoked the roll up it left my lips to feel like they were burning. I didn't say anything and my partner and I share the tobacco and he said the day after does your [censored] taste odd and I said yes it does and asked him what did he think it tasted of and he said chemical and he was feeling sick each time he smoked some and I said I was too. We bought it from our local shop and they took it off the shelf behind the counter, like they normally do. It has left us feeling like we have no saliva in our mouths, feeling sick, lips burning and horrid chemical taste. We have gone to buy another pouch of 50g Amber leaf today from Morrisons and this one is not doing the same to us as the other one

I purchased a 30g pouch of Amber leaf original tobacco, it was sealed in a plastic wrap etc.
When I opened the pouch the tobacco was much more dry than usual and tasted stale.
Never had a problem until now, but begrudge paying £17 for something I had to throw in the bin.
I have taken a photo of the barcode if this helps.
Many thanks and looking forward to hearing from you.
