Shopping Guide
Near Akihabara, immediately after leaving the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line’s Suehirocho Station, you will find the specialty shop Ippindo. The store has gained popularity for its hand-rolled tobacco.
Hand-rolled tobacco is the method of using a personal roller to make cigarettes using paper, a filter, and loose tobacco. The charm of hand-rolled cigarettes is the ability to customize them to your personal preference. Since each cigarette is made by hand, the flavor and aroma can vary. There are also many varieties of loose tobacco to choose from including “Excellent Mango,” “Excellent Apple,” “Excellent Kir Royal,” “Harvest Mint,” and more. Since there are also many types or paper and filters available, you can truly be original.
By blending various types of tobacco, you can create an original tobacco and be able to stand out from those around you. Ippindo is recommended for the tobacco lover who wants to enjoy a flavor and aroma different from ordinary tobacco. It also seems to be a more economical choice.
