Long time prince albert smoker here, since it's very hard to find these days and my stash has ran out i've been trying some new things. SWR is very close but less cocoa but it's pretty good and i'm waiting on a can of granger to come in that's what my grandpa smoked. Velvet is very different but very smooth just wondering what other prince Albert smokers are switching to in these tough times.
Been Trying Something New.

Duke Albert - Sutliff Pipe Tobacco | Smokingpipes.com
A ribbon-cut mixture of medium strength, Sutliff's Duke Albert is a Burley and Cavendish blend with sweet overtones and a smoky, all-day disposition made to match the original Prince Albert mixture.

PA is available at most online stores like Smokingpipes, JR Cigars, Iwan Ries and Pipes and Cigars. Prices vary a little bit.
What do you think of Velvet? I like it but don't base a like or dislike on our opinions
I'm starting to like it so does the wife, smoking it in a different pipe than my prince Albert pipes

Velvet is way too wet from a fresh pouch gonna need to dry out a little to stay lit ,I'm not used to the fruity flavor but hoping it grows on me because i really like it not having any bite at all even smoking it hard and fast
Granger won’t have the chocolate notes to which you’ve become accustomed. I do like Velvet and SWR. I find Carter Hall too flavored. As is SWRA. Velvet is just a simple sweetness, nothing complex about it. Each of these are mild offerings and require you to sip. PA is more flavor forward,but I don’t seek cocoa in my tobacco these days. I used to define burley that way, I was a MacBarren burley guy and cocoa is their signature. Today I enjoy Granger most days. Burley always. Pegasus from C&D is a fine burley based blend. You may find it to your liking.
i still have jars of tobacco that my grandpa grew himself 60+ years ago, now thats one strong unflavored smoke with a nic hit that will make you dizzy if you puff too fast.
Such a shame that Captain Black Grape went away. Would have been perfect. 
No kidding, after I finished up what I had, I'll probably have to toss the pipe I had dedicated to it.
I smoke a pipe with Prince Albert everyday. Usually it is with my morning coffee. I try to have a couple tubs of the Prince on hand at all times. Sometimes I will get one of the other Codger blends, such as SWR, Velvet or Granger and add some Super Value Chocolate to it. You can add as much chocolate tobacco to the mix as suits your fancy. I have even added some Super Value Chocolate to Prince Albert to give it a little extra boost.
