TL;DR
Familiar Western brands (Parliament, Winston) are hard to find or taste different locally — most expats bring them in from duty-free or pack loose cigarettes in their luggage. Pipe tobacco and loose tobacco pouches are sold only in a few specialty tobacco shops on the island.
One traveler asked whether anyone organizes import of familiar cigarette brands (Parliament, Winston) to pick up on arrival in Bali.
Practical tip: buy cigarettes loose (not in cartons) at home and pack them in your suitcase, plus grab extra at the airport duty-free — this approach worked for trips to Thailand and avoids hunting for familiar brands locally.
Another traveler asked about shops on Bali with a wide selection of loose pouch tobacco and canned pipe tobacco — the question suggests such specialty stores aren't common knowledge and require dedicated searching.
