Prince Albert is a fine old blend on its own! I mostly use it as a mixer. I mix it 50/50 with Smoker's Pride Black Cavendish, or Lane BCA, to make a blend I call "Fat Albert".
What they call a crimp cut may have something to do with it. It is forgiving of careless packing.
I always thought P.A. had a lot of PG in it -- but that is an assumption not based upon facts.
Peterpiperuk's quip immediately made me wonder is PG isn't flammable. :lol:

Like Granger, it tends to stay lit and doesn't leave much, if any, unburned tobacco. Aside from
dressing, I think it is mostly one kind of tobacco cut to one size, and this helps it pack easily and
burn evenly. Also, to give them justice, the makers of these brands have been at it for about 100
years, and they know what they're doing. They needed to keep their customers happy or they would
have gone out of business, as many did.

I bought some PA the other day so that I could mix it with my Molto Dolce if I decided to do that. I'll definitely have to try PA straight though. I opened it up and smelled it. It didn't have much of a smell at all. Might be nice. 
@maason, give it a try! It's a good smoke and very simple to make. Mix it up and let it marry for a day or so, then you're good to go! Hope you enjoy!
I bought a tub of PA before deploying. I enjoy it alone and mix it in with my other blends I brought along for something different. I will be picking up more when I get home, it does indeed burn great.
This is a little off topic but being the young squirt that I am, I never understood the prank call " do you have Prince Albert in the can" and I was always curious. Sorry I have nothing else to contribute, still gave tried PA.
Oh I get the joke now cynyr, I didn't when I was 8 making prank calls to my mom * because I wasn't supposed to call strangers*
