    A Tale of Four Aromatics

    One hour in the Carolina sun on a paper plate, took care of the Lane blends...Little less time for the other two, and now they aren't overly sticky...a pinch between finger and thumb falls away, packs and burns without excess moisture in the bowl and provides a sweet enjoyable smoke.

    Question about Prince Albert

    So it is not like PA, Carter Hall, in that it is sweeter? Less nicotine? and not like a natural taste but more of a flavored??

    A Tale of Four Aromatics

    Step One..... This started with a recent B& M purchase of two Lane standards....BCA, and one derived from 1Q with some BCA added, that the store called Magic Mountain, I think. ...anyway, we had to be away for a week for elderly caregiving duties, so I set them each on a paper plate , in my...

    Question about Prince Albert

    I am working on a 7 oz can of Granger....the flavor reminds me of Sir Walter Raleigh regular , of yesteryear. it is a bit bitey on the tongue and I do enjoy it better using a 9 mm filter pipe ....

    Question about Prince Albert

    yes. I wonder if some of the well known blenders around (Ernie, Jeremy, Boswell, etc.) would be interested in taking a stab at duplication if you shared with them a small amount, and worked on it with them. The base burleys may be the same as other Middletons and the sugar water and addition of...

    Question about Prince Albert

    f4, thanks for your response...I'm intrigued by the contents/processes of many of our favorite blends and what gives them their distinctive quailities. Prince Albert is my go to everyday codger burley and I have tried others, but for the availability and price, its hard to beat. On the...

    Is Customer Service a Thing of the Past?

    Aging in a sealed container in a controlled environment is one thing...I suspect this must have been different

    Is Customer Service a Thing of the Past?

    Yes it was explained that air, humidity and not totally sealed came into play

    Is Customer Service a Thing of the Past?

    Mystery solved, on my original issue of receiving a bad pouch of SWR....I have learned that the pouch was 7 or 8 years old...(not that the problem was from overheating in transit).... I sent if off , just out of curiosity to a well known blender, who called me back and said " your pouch logo is...

    Same Blend Sold under Different Names.

    All things considered, as a result of this confusion from "same blend , different name", trying to choose from reviewers, who have different descriptors for similar tastes, etc. I have come to appreciate and really like to support Ernie at Watch City, or talk to Rachel at Boswells, or Uhle's...

    Same Blend Sold under Different Names.

    I am aware that B&M stores get bulk, and often put their own name on it. I should have clarified my original question, in that I was curious more about online products....especially would be helpful to know which products are sold in tin, that are called something different in bulk. Or packaged...

    Same Blend Sold under Different Names.

    yes, wow , it is prevalent...I imagine maybe in the bigger houses...sutliff, Lane, Stokkebye...

    Same Blend Sold under Different Names.

    No all capitals unless it's to warn us the sky is falling. I have just learned that some blends that can be bought in bulk, are the same exact blends that can be bought in tins under a different name. This is a bit of a revelation to me. Anyone want to comment on duplicates that they are...

    Sutliff Mocha Slices

    thanks for the clarification.... so there probably a lot of blends that are the same, but sold under different names....this is a bit of a revelation to me. Is there a thread that covers this duplication?
