I've heard its really good. I've even heard a couple people call it the best rolling tobacco on the market is it really worth the money?

I've tried it. It makes for a fairly good, smooth cig. Out of the Peter Stokkebye rolling tobacco I've tried, this is my favorite. I've only tried Amsterdam Shag and Norwegian Shag as those are the only two varieties my local tobacco store carries. Just a word of warning, this tobacco is cut very thin and is very moist. It's best smoked if you allow it to dry out a bit and break up the tobacco. Taste wise, it's reminiscent to a Camel Turkish Royal, only better in my opinion. Honestly though, this is one of the best rolling tobaccos I've had. This and American Spirit are my favorite for rolling tobacco.

I've tried their Amesterdam blend, but only in the dual purpose pipe cut. I didn't really care for it but I haven't tried it in a cigarette cut tobacco and I've found that I like all the Stokebye blends better in a cig cut rather than the pipe cut.

I would say my favorite Stokeye blend would be the Stokholm blend followed closely by the Turkish blend.

Currently trying their London Export, which is also pretty good, and have a pouch of their Danish blend in a cig cut that i haven't opened yet. I've had the Danish blend in a pipe cut and it was ok, really smooth, but kinda light for my tastes, but figured I'd try it in a cig cut as all the other blends tasted better to me in a cig cut.

Stokebeye is the best brand of RYO tobacco out there IMO.

I do find that thier pipe cut is really moist and needs to be dried a little for stuffing and smoking. Cig cut might be a little moist but I don't dry it much before stuffing as it is a really fine cut and gets dry and brittle fast.
