Imperial Tobacco Limited produces DRUM ORIGINAL 50g in the European Union. Drum Halfzware rolling tobacco is a fine cut roll your own (RYO) tobacco. It’s a premium blend of Dark Kentucky and Virginias that have been barrel-aged. This one-of-a-kind smoke is made up of half Virginia leaf and half tobacco, resulting in a smoother smoke with less bite. DRUM ORIGINAL is a premium cigarette tobacco made from the finest Burley, Oriental, and Virginia tobaccos.
Drum Original is the classic, benchmark rolling tobacco that started it all. It’s a traditional Dutch semi-rough cut blend of Virginia, Burley, and dark-fired Kentucky tobaccos, with the dark-fired leaf giving it that signature, rich character. The flavor is deep, earthy, and robust, with a noticeable smoky, almost barbecue-like edge from the Kentucky, balanced by the natural sweetness of the Virginias. It sits in the medium-to-full strength range, delivering a solid nicotine kick that satisfies without being overwhelming. The cut is slightly coarser than the Bright Blue version, making it easy to roll, and the moisture level is just right. Compared to Bright Blue, Original is noticeably stronger, smokier, and more full-bodied, making it the go-to choice for smokers who want a no-nonsense, traditional tobacco taste. Overall, it’s a timeless classic and a must-try for anyone who enjoys a genuine, unadulterated European-style rolling tobacco with depth and character.
