AK Gold RYO Tobacco
Without a doubt the best-selling tobacco in our whole roll your own tobacco range, our customers can’t get enough of its mild strength and simple, natural-tasting flavour.
In fact, it’s the most popular product in the shop and on the website too – we let those numbers do the talking!
Unlike the majority of pre-packaged tobaccos which have hundreds of chemicals added to them, AK Gold is made using minimal natural additives and to a premium standard.
Old enough to remember Three Castles hand rolling tobacco? This is the closest you’ll get in today’s market to their well-loved mild blend.
TIP: As far as we know, AK Gold is the mildest tobacco available on the UK market, if you like it a little stronger we recommend trying AK Medium RYO Tobacco or AK Dark RYO Tobacco.
Available in weights of 30g or 50g.
Why not check out the rest of our loose RYO tobacco range?
The tobacco tin in the image isn’t included.
Please note: AK Gold RYO Tobacco unless faulty can’t be returned due to the nature of the product. This doesn’t affect your statutory rights. For more information please refer to our Returns Policy.
Please also note: We’re currently unable to sell packs of loose tobacco that are larger than 50g in weight due to the capacity of the tobacco pouches from our supplier.

I’ve been using this tobacco for about a year now and found this to be very smooth. The only fault I would mention, if you could call it a fault, is that for a couple of my orders the tobacco has seemed very greasy and hasn’t drawn well at all when being smoked. I can only imagine that it was a new delivery and hadn’t had time to dry out as much as usual. Having said that the tobacco is never dry and ordinarily rolls and draws very well.
Maisie –
Thanks for taking the time to give feedback on our AK Gold. As with all our loose tobacco, the moisture level varies and a new batch will contain more moisture. We suggest that you let the tobacco dry out a bit before smoking it and that should sort it out.

I’m glad I can still buy this tobacco easily and regularly by getting it from you.
It’s the lightest hand rolling tobacco I know.

The best tobacco ever. Tastes like I grew it myself, so pure and natural. If I cant stop smoking…I’ll stick to this one from now on.

Nice one. First tried the menthol version while it was legal and then changed to this. I like the smell as I open the pack and it keeps well, which is important to me as I don’t smoke a lot, though as mentioned elsewhere you may need to actually let it dry a little before use so it draws well. I’m well stocked now in case the government use the present situation as an excuse to do some other loony thing.
Jules (verified owner) –

Hugh (verified owner) –
Excellent smoke, so glad I found it. I used to smoke Three Castles many years ago and actually prefer AK Gold
I shall not be going back to the commercial brands
Jonathan Wharton (verified owner) –
Great taste and quick delivery.
Stella Ashley (verified owner) –
I bought this to mix with the medium which was a wee bit strong for me – now it’s fine.
Lee Jones (verified owner) –
Excellent mild smoke. The best around
Merve Goulding (verified owner) –
High-quality tobacco, quick delivery, great customer support.
If you prefer a more defined tobacco taste, try blending AK Gold with AK Medium. 2x Gold blended with 1x Medium makes a tasty blend.
Rutl (verified owner) –
Probably the nicest tobacco I’ve ever tried. Perfectly mild. Lovely stuff
Kathleen FORTH (verified owner) –
Great tobacco, lovely taste
Jack Eason (verified owner) –
While it was nice, I have to say, compared to my favourite AK Dark (Malawi Leaf), it lacked something…
Cybercel (verified owner) –
Once you get used to this different tobacco you will be glad, as loads less chemicals added. I bag what I use for a couple of days and store the rest away so it doesn’t dry out.

This tobacco is clean smooth and very mild. After smoking amber leaf blonde I was looking for a same level of smoke and ak gold delivers just that but without the chemical harshness. Perfect hand rolling tobacco.
Jemma (verified owner) –
Perfect for switching from menthol cigarettes. We use them with Sharrow menthol filter tips. I’ve tried so many options since the ban. This is by far the best. Smoother & more satisfying than any menthol cigarettes I tried back in the day. To make it extra tasty we often use the Cherry & Vanilla Tobacco Spray, & Juicy Jay’s Very Cherry papers, all from Johnnys.
Roz Jacqueline –

christiana adams (verified owner) –
as soon as I read “remember Three Castles hand rolling tobacco,” I had to try this bacci ! and yes it is very similar and is mild and is a really lovely smoke seemingly without the harshness of lots of chemicals. I’m so glad I found your site as I would not have discovered this great bacci . Good delivery too!

I like Yellow American Spirit but found that a bit dry. Took the suggestion to try this instead an was pleasantly surprised.
Smells good, nice golden colour and doesn’t leave a nasty chemical aftertaste.
