I've only been smoking white ox for the past 3 years and have noticed more and more the amount of bark I'm getting in my pouch and sometimes the tobacco seems to still be wet... I also feel that sometimes when buying a 25g pouch it's not the right weight they seem to be smaller can anyone help with who I can contact about this as I feel it's not right

Holes in majority of packet of cigarettes
Don't expect to pay this much money for packet and then get ripped off by not being able to smoke them due to holes

Would like some form of refund or social media will know about this.

I've had quite a few instances lately when the cigarette effectively breaks - the filter comes adrift from the cigarette

Poor quality - waste of money

Will need to change brands

Opened packet to find one of the cigarettes filters to be either melted or has been eaten away by something, any explanation on this and does it make it any unhealthier then they already are?

Purchased a pack of jps endless blue today and it is that dry it isn't funny burns so quickly 2 puffs and smoke is finished. Not happy.
8h28111 0845 is the marking on the pack.
I am only on a disability pension so every penny counts and I feel that this purchase was a complete waste.

Purchased a pack of JPS tobacco from Lilydale, IGA, Tasmania. I opened the plastic wrapper. Tobacco fell out. The packet had a one inch hole in the seam. Tobacco was dry. It is expensive to buy tobacco, so I'd expect a good product. Not a dry tobacco that I had to put some orange skin in the pack to add some moisture, and store in a sandwich bag!

I've noticed of late that packaging is not properly perforated either the plastic seal has no load table end or the cardboard lid is sealed & I need to use a craft knife to open the pack.
Also, as the cigarette burns down the end drops off. This has lead to burning pants, seats, head flying out the window & dropping in my lap while driving

I purchased a 25 gram pouch of loose tobacco from a smoke shop in broadmeadows shopping centre 3 days ago. There are pieces of solid leaf throughout the entire pouch, we threw away a fair bit before I came across this monster and decided to find out how to contact you. We've never had issues before and aren't sure what to do about it? Thank you.

I purchased a packet of Drum menthol 50g at our local Coles supermarket in Maiden Gully, Bendigo.
Approx 1/3 of the packet was a hard solid substance (see below photo)
When we are being charged $95.00 a packet, I would hope that this could be rectified and would like compensation please.
Receipt for purchase in photo.

Thanks,
Lee

Found this in my Parker & Simpson Blue 25gm pouch (rolling tobacco) wasn't very impressed with it.
I didn't feel like it should've been included in the tobacco as you cannot till that into a smoke.
I have had smaller pieces and it hasn't bothered me but this is far too big to not say something and report it as a complaint.

I thought I'd try this brand of Tabacco and I find this in my pouch? Very disappointed since smoke prices have gone up you'd think you would get this in it. New pouch would be great.

I have just bought a new pouch of champion ruby 50g and it contains large pieces of uncut tobacco. Pieces unable to be smoked. As I have just spent $100 on the product I would expect better. Is there anyways to fix this issue as it has happened multiple times now with sticks and other debris, ect.

Cheers, Connor

Good Morning, I purchase a carton of JPS Superking Methols each week from my local Woolworths store in Beaudesert Queensland Australia. Last week I purchased a carton and so fat 2 packets from the carton are not menthol. I paid just on $295.00 for the carton and I am very disappointed as this product is not cheap. Thought you like the feedback.

Regularly finding leaves and stems in my tabacco which is rude considering the ever rising cost and the quality downgrade.

This is what I've found in one packet

Bought a packet of 25's blue needed a degree to open them up, had to resort to ripping the top off and noticed pack is double or triple packed, can not put into another pack as I have none so hopefully none are going to be ruined as there is no lid now. Have attached photos
Not really impressed

Hello,

Please see attached photo of tobacco not chopped in the pouch that I purchased. Normally I have no issues with the riverstone brand however it appears this is a bad batch. It would be appreciated if this could be replaced.

Thanks
Anne

what is up with this [censored] you put in your tobacco. the majority of it is un smokabel eg. sticks and uncut leafs. for a price of 90 to 100 dollars a pouch in Australia, you would expect every pouch to be top quality every time.
