First of all, this is my first post, I'll probably post in the intro forum here in a minute...

But in any case,

Didn't see any talk on here about American Spirit. I just bought a pack of their orange pack, which is described as having a Smooth Mellow Taste. I've been out of the smoking game for a while, but these are pretty good in my opinion.

Do any of you guys have any opinions about them? Other flavors I should try of theirs?

Cheers

The dark blue pack is good,this is the American grown blend.Very sweet taste.The Perique is also excellent.This is the black pack.Both taste better in the RYO pouches.Buy some tubes and a tobacco stuffer,Top makes one.Buy a bag of the ryo tobacco and enjoy,avoids the FSC thing.The pouches come with papers so if you can roll a cig,do it that way.Dan

I love them... the only kind I smoke (sans the occasional clove). I usually smoke the black, which is a perique (aged in whiskey barrels) blend. Supposedly the strongest... a bit spicy, none of that processed flavor from other cigarettes (Marlboro, Camel, etc...). I believe the dark red are organic, and quite nice, too.

Just wanted to note that I read somewhere (I would post a source but I have to find it) where someone emailed American Spirit to ask them about the FSC thing. I recall they claimed they used FSC, but that they used a natural alternative, thickened bands made with cornstarch and layered cigarette paper I believe.

Thanks for starting the interesting post "Cobb"

Today maximum good brands use corn starch for the bands and those cigarettes are good to use.
