in my opinion i think it is a matter of were u grew up.I grew up in n.s.w in Australia & everyone mixes there gear with tobacco ,i didnt think people smoked it strait.After traveling around our great country and living in difernt states i found that people in nth queensland smoke strait ,sth australia they smoke strait,victoria they mix and this is all in the same country.
getting back to the original question that i didnt realy answer in my first post,i prefer winfeild red rolling tobacco,but just about everyone else i no use tailer made cigerets.
Also i think mixing 50/50 is a bit much ,about 30% tobacco is good.Anyway smoke it how you wonna,its all good.......
