Need help with tobacco brand early 1970s
Could have been Captain Black Cherry, Borkum Riff Cherry liqueur, or Middleton Cherry Blend. Paladin Black Cherry was very popular in the 70s. There is also the possibility that her grandpop might have got his tobacco from a tobacco store with house blends. I'm leading towards Paladin to be...- f4phantomdriver

Edward G. Robinson Blend
I know my opinion doesn't mean squat, but it is a shame our tobacco companies are forced to ruin the nostalgic beautiful artwork on these vintage comfy looking tubs and pouches. I have no clue why it has to be that big. In the European countries they have those disgusting images of diseased...- f4phantomdriver

Granger by Lane
I'm with ya brother. Granger, Velvet and H&H ripped my whole mouth up. I have a good supply of Prince Albert and still some of the Pennsylvania made stuff. I don't get it though. These classic blends that Lane took over must be using something that doesn't agree with our mouths. Might be a...- f4phantomdriver

Granger by Lane
I really like Granger. I'm a loyal Prince Albert smoker, but burley is my favorite leaf if done correctly. Prince Albert "in my opinion of course" is the best "for me". The only thing that stopped me from Granger being my everyday smoke is the horrendous bite it causes me. It has nothing to do...- f4phantomdriver

Dr. Grabow Pre Smoked Pipes
Don't want to disrespect anyone here but the pipes coming out of Sparta now are junk. They are NOT worth 40 bucks. I bought a few around ten years ago at Rite Aid and they were great. I bought two three years ago and the quality went to crap, bad. Cracks in the shank, cheap junky plastic stems...- f4phantomdriver

That Old School Aroma
I know this post is a year old but I would just keep an eye out on the online vendors like PC and SP. They are always having specials and sales on the pouch brands. Especially Pipesandcigars, they have a "battle of blends" thing going on all the time. That's where I tried Half and Half and...- f4phantomdriver

That Old School Aroma
I love Mixture 79. Funny thing when I first tried it I didn't like it. It wasn't the taste or the aroma, they were terrific, it was the fact that I couldn't keep it lit to save my life. After a few years of learning about packing and drying tobaccos out I bought another pouch and really liked...- f4phantomdriver

That Old School Aroma
Velvet bites the heck out of me, so does Granger and Half and Half. It must be something Lane puts in those brands. It actually painful for me to smoke them. Captain Black, Amphora, Sir Walter Raleigh regular and aromatic and some other's are fine for me. It's weird because Velvet is supposed to...- f4phantomdriver

Stereotypical Pipe Smell?
For me it's Prince Albert and Sir Walter Raleigh regular. My memory was also Middleton's Apple Pipe Tobacco. It wasn't full blown aromatic memories with me. It was the classic "pipey" aroma to where it was masculine with a brown sugar almost thing going on. Kind of hard to explain.- f4phantomdriver

Info on Sugar Barrel Tobacco, Please.
My buddy sent me the rest of his tub he had in his cellar. I have about 8 ounces stuffed in a regular size Mason jar. It is very hard not to smoke a big o'l bowl everyday lol. But, I know once it's done that's it. I'm going to nurse that puppy as well as the 6 ounces of Sugar Barrel I have left...- f4phantomdriver

Info on Sugar Barrel Tobacco, Please.
My good friend sent me the rest of his Middleton Sugar Barrel and Walnut that he had in his cellar. He knows I'm a John Middleton fan. My everyday smoke is Prince Albert and my first everyday blend was Carter Hall, until I found Sir Walter Raleigh aromatic. It took me a few years to appreciate...- f4phantomdriver

Recent visit to Iwan Ries
I really like the Three Star Blue as well. I did see comments though that it was better back in the 60s through to the early 2000s. I looked into why and I wasn't surprised that the reason is that Sutliffs manufacturers their blends now. I do like some Sutliffs blends, Mixture79, Heine's Blend...- f4phantomdriver

C'Est La Vie Chocolate Eclair - Scandinavian Tobacco Group Review
I actually mix the French Vanilla with this 50/50 and all I can say is wow! Next I'm thinking about putting a pinch of HH Old Dark Fired in the mix for a little nicotine punch.- f4phantomdriver

Jim's Revised Prince Albert Review.
Hello Sir, my Sir Walter Raleigh aromatic buddy. The room note of the Dominican Republic Prince Albert is still good. It smells like the classic "pipey" aroma , not in a Captain Black sense, but in a "aw wow, someone's smoking a pipe!" way. It's kind of neat that my sons say that when they...- f4phantomdriver

Jim's Revised Prince Albert Review.
There's still some floating around towhee. Some of the mom and pop general stores and drugstores still have a few USA made tubs. Like I said though, the tobacco is still being grown here for the PA and CH. I'm in no way trying to change your mind on buying a tub. I smoke Lane products too and...- f4phantomdriver

Jim's Revised Prince Albert Review.
When production first moved to DR a friend who was a loyal Carter Hall smoker was going ballistic because the newer stuff he said was horrible. I told him that the Prince Albert was great and it was all in his mind. Sure enough he sent me a huge bag of the CH and said "try it and tell me what...- f4phantomdriver

Jim's Revised Prince Albert Review.
Prince Albert has been my everyday smoke for the last five or six years. I still have a few tubs of the Limerick, Pennsylvania made stuff in my cellar, but I've been really enjoying the Dominican Republic manufactured stuff. To me it's less bitter, and the aroma! Forget about it! I love it. But...- f4phantomdriver

Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Tin
I am a Prince Albert smoker and a Lane Limited Ready Rubbed fan. When the Prince was a hard to find during the pandemic I switched to Lane's Ready Rubbed. I bought a half a case and then Prince Albert came back. I ended up cellaring the few tubs I have left. My wife said I should have just...- f4phantomdriver

Codger Revival?
Wonder how Sutliffs got the rights to Edward G. Robinson. Didn't Jiminks help with saving that blend? I think a company called "Winther" or Winter first made EGR. I will admit, EGR mixed with Barking Dog match is just sublime! I read that this was Shelby Foote's blend after he stopped using H&H.- f4phantomdriver
