About Bugle Boy Tobacco Since the beginning of the 21st century, the retail cost of "Ready Rolled", or pre-rolled cigarettes distributed by the major tobacco companies has increased due to extremely high federal and state taxes. Offered originally as an alternative to the more expensive "ready rolled" brands, it should be noted that on April 1, 2009 all "roll your own" tobaccos (ie. Bugler, Top, etc.) were increased by a 2,244% tax increase while all others were increased by only 36%. Bugler is the name of a roll-your-own brand of tobacco and rolling papers. First introduced in the United States in 1932 by Lane Limited, a subsidiary of the Conwood Group, which is itself a division of Reynolds American, Bugler is the #2 selling brand of rolling tobacco in the United States. It is the #1 tobacco in American prisons. It competes heavily with the brand TOP. Each pouch of Bugler includes � oz. tobacco and 40 cigarette papers. Bugler differentiates itself from its chief competitors in that its tobacco consists of a premium "Turkish and domestic blend", which is similar to the same claim advertised by the higher-priced factory made brand Camel. Bugler has recently[when?] changed their rolling papers from the thick papers of yesterday to a new thinner paper which is interleaved. Bugler paper booklets are also sold individually as a stand alone product. As with everything that we offer, this item is guaranteed authentic.
