I have a friend visiting from Europe and would like to match her tobacco tastes using syo/ryo/myo tobaccos. Of the European brands, she said she liked Gauloise & Player's. Does anyone have any idea what type of bulk tobacco would be similar? Alternatively, does anyone know what types of tobacco Gauloise & Player's might be, whether Virginia, Halfzware, Turkish, etc?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. |

| In case anyone is interested, I received information that the Gauloise is a zware, with a very unique and unusual aftertaste. The only zwares I have been able to find available in the US, are the Van Nelle and the Charles Fairmorn Dark Fired Shag. I doubt very seriously they will taste anything at all like the Gauloise, due to the unusual nature of that tobacco blend. |

| unless of course its the Gauloise Blond youre referring to, which is an american blend, heavy on Va. Never had the zware though. Good luck. |
