Rouseco Buoy Gold

[Briar Lee]

Absolutely. I smoked American Spirits before I went back to ryo, because I can't stand the packaged brands other than Dunhill International and the Rjr nonfilter offerings, which use the original blends and high quality tobacco. You have to roll them in your fingers to loosen them up to improve the draw cause they're so stuffed. I do this trick with my ryo too, because my Powermatic has a tendency to inject too tight. Scissors, cutting up the baccy helps beyond measure. American Spirits are the only cigs that are ryo or myo quality, and the Blacks and Blues are fantastic, but my Vengeur and Windsail Platinum are fantastic affordable options for us. Vengeur matches the US oriental vabur blends that were so popular in the Golden daze of bacco.

We did smoke Winston's which are touted as additive free but taste foul and my gf reported side effects when she had to get a few packs when Windy Shi**y Cigars dropped the ball on shipping our order promptly.

In 1913 Reynolds made the first modern cigarette, Camels.

After the break up of Duke’s monopoly in 1911, leaf prices rebounded to about ten cents a pound, which would be just over $3 a pound today.

The big tobacco companies could take 30 cents worth of leaf and roll out a thousand cigarettes that sold for $4.75 per thousand retail.

And then along came an advertising genius, Edward Bernays.

We pipe smokers are collateral casualties in the do gooder’s war against Big Tobacco.

But Little Tobacco can still supply the original aged leaf, thanks in part to the “deeming rule”.

Many of the value brands wear old brand labels.

LMAO at that third ad.

It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent’s Fritters!

What ever happened with the sampling of all the tobacco you bought? Did the pipe club meet and sample it up?

There’s a whole thread on it, somewhere.

A note to folks who’d like to splurge $52 for five pounds of Buoy Gold.

Six months aging in a heated and air conditioned garage in Missouri incredibly improves an excellent Virginia forward blend. And the “tin note” from opening a five pound bag is an overwhelmingly intoxicating rush of the aroma of hay and citrus and yummy tobaccos and it makes my garage smell like a Kinston North Carolina tobacco warehouse. The aroma alone, should sell lots of Buoy Gold.

A tiny little hole in the bag did however, leave the top of the five pound plastic bag a mite little bit dry.

I added a quarter of a sliced apple to the bag, taped the little hole, and transferred about a pound over to an empty gallon size protein shake jug with a quarter of an apple in that.

If too moist, it becomes difficult to stuff into tubes, and the taste becomes too mild, for an old leather tongued addict like me.

It’s easy to dry tobacco that’s too moist, and easy to moisten too dry tobacco with apple slices.

A pipe full of Buoy Gold may cost a nickel in a medium pipe.

A pack of cigarettes made from a five pound bag costs about 60 cents, if you buy tubes in 10,000 per case quantities.

There’s no better Virginia forward shag pipe blend, although there are slightly different ones. It is mild, in a pipe, perhaps too mild for your taste.

And it makes the best cigarettes since Player’s Medium Navy Cut or Sherman’s or American Spirit non filter, all of which used to brag about their Virginia golden bright leaf years ago, before the do gooders and the dad blasted gubbermint conspired to make them stop.

Old men have always exploited young girls. The most famous Lucky Strike girl used by Bernays, Myrna J Darby, was a teenager who died from an illegal abortion in 1929. At least she died thin.



Edward Bernays, lived to be 103 and every college student knows his name.

The do gooders and the dad blasted gubbermint do have their reasons to hate Big Tobacco.

Eight months aging has transformed the second five pound bag of Buoy Gold wonderfully.

This second bag never had any holes in it, and the aroma rush from opening it can only be compared to climbing up in a barn in January and being intoxicated with the delicious aroma of the first cutting of alfalfa put up there in late May or June.

There are no better cigarretes made at any price than those with aged Buoy Gold. They will completely spoil you for anything less.

No wonder those old codgers loved their Bull Durham, Our Advertiser, and Country Gentlemen so much.


Equally good in a cigarrete or a pipe.

If you love tobacco, splurge $60 for five pound of Bouy Gold and don’t open the bag for at least six months.

I wish the shops here in nc around me carried it. I like a ryo stick when I don't have time for a pipe. I use Ohm Turkish Yellow and it's alright, not bad but I've heard Buoy is much better.

Buoy Gold is cured and aged North Carolina bright leaf blended with a little burley and likely a little Maryland (to help it burn).

There is no PG. If you leave it out a few hours it gets all crackly and dry.

It’s good when you open the bag after it’s likely spent less than a month from the Rouse warehouse in Kinston to your local store. Six months later it’s divine.

The five pound size bags are sealed but not vacuum sealed. After six months or so of the moist tobaccos fermenting words can’t describe the delicious, overpowering, frangrant aroma that is much like cured alfalfa hay, the best kind.

There was an art to an old man lifting and smelling the cut windrows of alfalfa as the dew burned off, then he’d bale it up and crews of teenagers like me would get it to the barn, and stack it just so, that it would go on to cure out, by January.

Those cows might founder on it, if overfed.

They’d run bawling and eat every scrap.

Fred Rouse is the eighth generation of tobacco men at Kinston that knows how to make that bright leaf the best smoking tobacco on this earth.

It’s not an accident, it’s an art.

I also have a fiver stewing, along with several one pounders, which I double bagged in 7mil Mylar. I’ll jar the fiver in six months or so and let the one pounders go until I need them.

It’s great by itself or as a base for almost any other types of blends that I enjoy. Haven’t done a VaPer yet, that’s next.

 

[Pypkė]

Couldnt find any Buoy locally, so I bought 6 oz of Kentucky Select gold. Smoking it spiked with a little perique. I'm happy.

how does one know its actually good? Ive been getting hit bad with cornell and diehl virginia blends..

but it seems interesting. So what places carry it reliably in the USA

That might be an online only find. You'd think being a NC based company , it'd be in every store like Ohm is, but no, I've never seen it in a single store here in NC. Makes no sense. I'd really like to try it but just never felt like ordering it. I'm sure it is in some shops in places though.

Alot of online tobacco shops are still selling Prince Albert and Half n Half in the old style cardboard boxed foil pack that I REALLY f)))ing love.

Now i know those ads are not correct, so an honest place is mandatory. I wont touch the local pot shops anymore as they only have gambler, and daughters and ryan.

I know daughters and ryan isnt bad, but Im not impressed based on it by the people making reviews for it.

D and R is awesome for ryo imo, but burns too fast in a pipe, for me anyway. Some pack tighter because of this. I know there are a lot who enjoy Three Sails, however , in a pipe. It's good leaf though. I'd love to have a shootout of 3 Sails and Buoy Yellow and see who wins, as I believe both are straight VA shags.

I smoke D&R Ryback at least three times a week if not more. It’s delicious and packs a suitable punch for a quick smoke.

On the other hand, I’m happy if folks knock it, as it means it’s never out of stock when I re-up.

Right,that one seems to sell out fast. I am not knocking d and r by the way , I think it's fantastic stuff , and the best bagged tobacco I've tried. I have a few ounces of Ryback gold left, it beats the pants off the Republic Drum.

Im not saying its a bad product, far from it.

What I was trying to say, that certain people on another forum, really sing its praises. But unfortunately, those people are "less then decent".

So it somewhat falls into the category of "Why would I care what they think about my usage of bathroom sanitizing spray when I use a bathroom stall at work. When I have caught them rubbing their private parts with the bars of handsoap?"

 

[Pypkė]

I'm still working through a pound of D&R Two Timer I bought a year ago. It does burn very fast. It is good for a quick smoke because of that - which I do occasionally. I mostly use it as tinder to help a stubborn flake to burn. It has what I call a "neutral" flavor that doesn't dilute what I'm really trying to burn.

Another bag tobacco I've tried is Kentucky Select Gold, which has a really nice "tin note" (bag note?). I usually blend it with a bit of stoved virginia and/or perique. Also tends to burn quickly.
