Benson & Hedges Gold Rolling Tobacco
by Robs99
I had been a smoker of so called "straight" cigarettes for many years but finally found the cost too expensive so I decided to give rolling a try. I trialled a few brands of roll your own (RYO) but found the majority smelt or tasted pretty bad and certainly were aimed at the older market.
Now nearly every RYO smoker ... I know smokes Golden Virginia, but I just never got on with it. Not only did it smell awful but it was too mild and did not satisfy my cravings for a "normal" fag.
So I decided to give B&H Gold rolling tobacco a try and I have never looked back. Not only does it taste like a normal fag but it is also strong - in my opinion you definitely need a filter! - and does not give any nasty after taste. Depending on how you roll, it will also last longer than a normal fag. It also tastes less chemically.
I have tried to smoke a few Sovereign since then and I just can't smoke them, they just taste awful and don't do anything for me, so I am sticking with B&H gold rollies for a while now - and generally only costs me £10-12 a week for a 15 a day smoker.
Another reason many smokers don't roll their own is the fact that they can't roll - well neither can I. I bought a swan rolling machine and they are great. Get yourself one of them, only just over a quid, some extra slim swan filters and some swan papers and you're ready to go. Personally I don't get on with rizla - they don't stick properly and swan are cheaper.
Of course I am not condoning smoking in any way, it is bad for you and extremely addictive - but what I do condone is smoking cheaply.

Benson & Hedges Silver Rolling Tobacco
by xxSalzxx
Just before I start this review Ill just say I am in no way promoting smoking to anyone! In fact dont do it lol.
Nearly finished writing all my product suggestion reviews now. Phew!
Now I decided to suggest this as a product because like the Lambrini Rose before I saw this in a shop I had no idea it even existed I didnt ... know Benson & Hedges made a tobacco I just thought they made ordinary ready rolled cigarettes. Anyway I went up the shop for a packet of Drum tobacco because I was pretty broke and I couldnt afford to keep buying proper cigarettes but when I saw this B&H Silver Tobacco I was wondering straight away whether it would taste any better than ordinary and lets face it nasty tobacco and whether or not it would taste anything like B&H cigarettes. So I bought a large pouch and went home to roll myself one straight away.
Now I HATE rolling tobacco. It usually either smells of burnt chocolate or bacon which is very odd putting for a start but this didnt smell anything like well anything Ive smelt before. It smelt like a proper fag does and I was hoping it would taste the same as well so it wouldnt feel like much of a sacrifice when I was smoking it. Now usually if somethings smells good it will taste good to and yes I know that usually refers to food but I thought that theory would transfer to this situation as well.
Now another reason I dont like tobacco is that I think its really harsh on your throat and it doesnt taste anything like a proper fag but in this case it was very different. I didnt hold very high hopes for this tobacco but Im actually really happy to say that this shocked me. It actually tasted like B&H cigarettes and it didnt make me cough or taste really strong either. I have to say this has got to be the best tobacco Ive ever tried and it certainly tasted the best!
Im not going to pretend that Im going to give up smoking proper fags forever and take up smoking this tobacco because Im not planning to but I am definately going to use this as a subsitute for when Im low on funds. And I can say 100% that I wont be smoking any other tobacco again. Im going to give it a 4 out of 5 stars overall because while it is the best Ive ever smoked its never going to compare to a real ready rolled cigarette.
Useful Information:
Makers: Benson & Hedges
Stockists: Supermarkets, Corner Shop, Off Licenses ETC
Price: £3 (Small Pouch)
I recon one packet of this (small pouch) lasts me about a week and I get about 60 roll ups out of it so the value for money is amazing in my opinion. If your a roll up smoker then I highly suggest you try this out because it may change your brand!
Thanks For Reading

Benson & Hedges Lights
by damnsith
I must say first that, smoking is bad, don't do it, it only hurts your health. BUT if u ever decide to smoke, well, Benson and Hedges are the way to go. Especially if you are a beginning smoker. BnH lights, are very light indeed, for a beginner it is great as it doesn't have too much smoke. The taste is great, although it has dropped a ... bit in the recent past. Take it for me, if you ever smoke, this is the way to go..... Highly Recommended by me.... Thumbs up
