@Auxsender : We did some Standard Tobacco of PA shirts without the word 'Janitor' on them. Dan owns the trade mark ™ on SToP and if you ask him nicely he might do El Crappo ones if the demand existed.
War Horse Bar is a winner!

Yes, JackKnife is a great blend. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes a stronger tobaccoAlthough I haven't tried it yet, GLP's JackKnife Plug is another member of this "family" that might be worth mentioning. IIRC, he took inspiration from the Irish tradition of plugs enriched with dark-fired tobacco.
I want El crappo undies (or more properly pants if we’re speaking in the kings)
I knew there had been another "Has War Horse Changed?" thread along the way, just found it: War Horse Bar Been Changed? :: Pipe Tobacco Discussion - https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/war-horse-bar-been-changed.75824/
Russ checked a tin in 2020, and said it was correct.

I have an unopened tin of that somewhere! I'll approach it with respect, maybe in my Peterson Belgique Group 1, until I get my footing. So much fine leaf in my modest stash.
The Jack Knife Plug I smoked yesterday was wonderful... And the WCC Old Dominion I smoked today was just as fabulous. The benefit of not getting sucked into TAD will be that I can focus on smoking what I have amassed over the years and at least have a chance at whittling down what i have.
The original prototype War Horse tin that we used to obtain the trademark. Four or five were produced and sold. If any survive, I'd be amazed.
I've always wanted to try this and...and I'm not sure this post has encouraged me to.
El Crappo Tobacco Company needs T-shirts made immediately.

IMMEDIATELY! The public demands it!
If they’re cool looking, could be worthwhile. Who knows. I’d wear one for sure.
I’d buy a shirt. Jury’s out on the tobacco. If @woodsroad confirms the current offering is similar, I’ll buy.
If anyone has any of the old stuff, I’m interested. I’ve got an early purchase no-name Meer and a key to my buddy’s house. Game on.

I enjoy Warhorse Red & Green.
Last year I smoked the original run and a fresh tin side by side. The main difference was the cut, which for me changed the smoke. The tobacco in the original was much more rounded, however this could be entirely to do with extra 5 years in a tin. the topping felt fuller. I could taste the tobacco and topping equally throughout.
The tin note of the fresh stuff was way stronger, and topping was very forward the point that I couldn’t always taste the tobacco, and was also felt quite thin. But it was also a lot moister, and a lot of these differences became less apparent with significant dry time to get it to how I like to smoke the blend. It is still a very good and unless you were familiar with the original cut or smoking them side by side, I don’t think you would notice the difference.
But yeah, I’m going to sell my fresh tins, or use for blending with homegrown purely because of the cut.
There should be a re-work around somewhere of the 1930's War Horse Bar advert with the old man and young fellow with latter holding a box of War Horse outside a ship builders yard. The caption was 'Young man can I show you my War Horse?' and then ad line 'War Horse: Tastes like shit. Buy some!'
I love the Dan ads and especially the photo-type tin. That man is a genius with graphics!

Here are a few adverts for War Horse not produced by the Standard Tobacco Company or El Crappo!
