Prince Albert or Prince Andrew

I haven't tried Prince Andrew, but I have a lot of faith in those Midtown blends. Being an non-aromatic guy mostly, I went right for the only non-aro in the series, Chestnut, which is six different tobaccos. I guess it is a classic American/English blend, but I liked it right away, and my pleasure has only grown. Often, when blenders get above four or five tobaccos, things can get pretty harsh, or just kind of indistinct in taste. But Russ did some wicked magic with this one, and it pleases me every time. In a tub tobacco, no less. Damn.

Haroldt: here's my review of Prince Andrew where I compare the two blends if it'll help:
This is chocolatey, molasses and nutty, though a little less so than the original in those respects. The cut and look is identical. It burns a little cooler than the original, and while it does not have the syrupy flavor (and occasional chemical note) of PA, there’s a slight alcohol feel in the topping in a few spots. The level of mildness is the same, and the flavor is consistent to the finish. Burns at the same rate as the original and leaves a similar, lighter aftertaste. The original tends to be a little cigarettish at times, a little more so near the end. That’s not true of this version. If the chocolate, molasses and nut flavors were a little stronger, it’d be hard to tell the difference between the two, chemical hits of the original not withstanding. But the flavor is lighter here.

Yo haro
I always start off with the thought that RussO uses better quality leaf than the OTCs would have. I can believe P. Andrew is superior to the admittedly fine P. Albert, even if it's in a tub rather than a can.

I'm a big fan of Prince Albert but as of yet I haven't smoked Prince Andrew. I did get some Prince Albert Choice Blend in a few days ago and it is better then regular Prince Albert.

They are two slightly different iterations of the same style of blend. I enjoy both; if I had to give one the edge, it would be the Prince Andrew, because the tub I went through smoked a little drier than the PA.

Prince Andrew is good stuff. Better than Prince Albert.
