Reconstituted tobacco, yep I know that.
When you split a Phillie blunt the thin outer layer of tobacco leaf is usually removed.
It is a real bit of tobacco leaf to make it look like the cigar is rolled in tobacco leaf, like a proper good quality cigar.
However under the real tobacco leaf exterior, there is tobacco paper made of , you gussed it "reconstituted tobacco".
The outter real tobacco is removed when rolling a blunt as it has a more bitter taste than the reconstituted tobacco paper.
Rizla used to make some papers called "Wheat straw" made from "wheat straw".
They were seriously heavy weight papers and I'm lead to believe this is what people would roll up with in the wild west.
I think it was the Rizla company who first made rice paper papers that are still made to this day.
RizLa+ (ree-la-crwa). The name comes from 'Riz', the French word for rice, and Lacroix, meaning 'The cross'.
'Riz' comes from the fact that the paper is made from rice, and 'Lacroix' is the surname of its creator, Pierre de Lacroix. The paper was originally intended for rolling tobacco but is much more widely used by marijuana smokers today.
In 1660, having perfected the first paper specifically designed for rolling, Philippe Lacroix began production.
Despite the early success, it was not until 76 years later in 1736 that the family acquired their own paper-mill, purchased by François Lacroix, founder of the Lacroix Rolling Paper company.
In 1796 Napoleon granted the Lacroix company a licence to produce rolling papers for his troops.
In 1865, a change was made to the formula—the tissue previously used in the papers was replaced with paper made from rice.
It is this change to rice paper that caused the name "RizLa+" to finally emerge: a combination of the French word Riz (meaning rice) with "La" and a cross, representing the Lacroix family name, which literally means "The Cross".

Impressive piecr of research!
RizLa+ has been the standard in Scandinavia long before I learned to enjoy tobacco.

I enjoy fresh tasting tobacco with a pure tobacco taste.
Here in Denmark they have a pipe tradition and makes the worlds best pipe tobaccos. The hand rolling tobacco produced here is not for me. In Norway, we have a hand rolling tradition and I can't do without the traditional tobacco style.
My favourite brand has been made since 1913.

A public information film about "Not mucking around on and near rail lines and trains".
The whole school was shown this film on a projection screen in assembly!
They don't make em like this any more!

Looks like the train track of the fab five or what ever theyre called, funny though, green 10 points

Thanks bro glad you liked my piece!
Pipe smoking in the UK is now virtually non existent.
When I was a kid my dad had several pipes.
I remember smelling the smoke and it always smelt so much better than cigarettes ever did.
It's odd how rolling tobacco varies between countries even when smoking the same brand.
In the UK we have a rolling tobacco called "American spirit" which has no nasty chemicals in it.
Over the festive period I had a friend from the US over and he said that the American spirit sold in the US had more "Twigs" in it, meaning it was made from rougher tobacco and had more bit s of tobacco leave veins in it.
I put this down to the UK having a much high tax on it.
When you have to pay through the nose for tobacco you want good quality.
In a country like the USA where taxes on tobacco are lower, the tobacco to the end user is cheaper than in the UK.
So the tobacco company can sell a slightly less refined cut to the customer.

I have an old cigarette packet I bough a while back.
I only bought the pack because of the name and because of what we do, see if you get it....(you will!)

Prize Crop - That's what every one wants!
The company was Scottish and were made in Glasgow.

Cool pack.
British pipes is still high value.
Dunhill is very expensive. Hopefully I get one some day.
