Gold wrapping, its a tad strong and dry for me. Better than Sharp but worse than Mega.
Tightly packed tobacco and out of a carton I only had 2 smokes that fell off filter.

Hy is n bietjie roff vir my smaak

Me 2 ;) It has Gold foil instead of the normal silver inside the packet. Some people believe it affects the taste that is why I mention it.

Edit: I paid R400 for a carton back at the start of Level 4 for those.

Well guys, I’m finally sorted for now. I asked my sister to express courier me cartons from JHB for R700 a piece that arrived safely tucked in a box of baby blankets with no trouble at all even though i was super nervous the box would fall off the truck somewhere before getting to me and I would lose my money.

These are definately smokable and I hope @MirageF1 is pleased that I listened to him and I’m still alive and kicking after the Chinese smokes haha :giggle:

If the ban is still not lifted soon and I arrange another delivery and willing to risk it...you can let me know if you want to be included. I’m not paying these fekking outrageous CT prices anymore.

Too boot, beer on Monday, I’m in a fantastic mood.

Pleased.. well that's a relative term.
Hopefully your partner and kids at the very least are :giggle:

The question is for who... again... your second paragraph in question might answer that.:cool:
