Sweet Tobacco (aka Spanish Gold) 250 gram bag (1/4 kilo)

Loved this sweet tobacco, brought back childhood memories. Great flavour and once you have sucked it you get into the coconut to chew. Definitely good value for money as you get good amount. Comes securely in a sealed plastic bag. Picture shows gold colour but mine is brown. Recommend it if you like coconut.

I remember this from when I was a kid and it tastes exactly the same. I couldn't believe it when I found it on here as it disappeared from the shops years ago. I ordered two bags and my husband and I ate the first one really quickly. We are trying not to be so greedy with the second one but I will be ordering more very soon!

Just how I remember this from my younger days. Loved it!

Looking at the photo on my laptop and my ipad, this appears to be the delicious coconut sweet that we had as children. However, what arrived through my letterbox was a squashed padded envelope containing an equally squashed, thin plastic bag of some dark brown, unevenly chopped & unappetising looking coconut, obviously covered in some sort of powder. We decided to try it and were quite surprised to find that it not only looked nothing like sweet tobacco but also tasted nothing like it either. Sweet tobacco as we remember it was crispy strands of coconut covered in light brown sugar and baked or toasted somehow. This is soft and chewy and covered in a mixture of what appears to be caster sugar and drinking chocolate powder. In fact, about ¼ of the contents of the bag is this mixture of chocolate powder and sugar. Absolutely disgusting and will end up in the bin! What a waste of money.

Bought as a christmas present for my husband, he used to like this as a youngster approx 50 years ago. It just tastes the same as we remember. I would have given it 5 stars if it came in a package as it used to. I understand why not, as it used to be in wrapping resembling tobacco. It now just comes in a polythene bag. We both used to have this when young along with sweet cigarettes, and chocolate smokers outfits (would love to find these). They didn't turn us into smokers even though everyone else in both families smoked.

tastes just as I remember it! Marked down as quite a lot of sugar in bottom of bag which meant less of the coconut tobacco overall

Fantastic yum yum

At first I though it was too moist and chewy, same flavour as I remember as a child.I thought about this, and realised that the shop I bought it from as a child, used to leave a tray of the stuff lying under the counter, un-covered - it needed to dry out a bit! So I let it dry out in the cupboard for a few days.Went back to try it, and it was exactly the same texture as I remember. Perfect.
