I used to smoke drugstore brands, twenty years ago, when I was in the Army. It has all but disapeared from store shelves here in central Virginia. I have been reading some posts about them recently and, hearing what y'all had to say "has done flung a craving on me." LOL So I began keeping an eye out. Yesterday I was in Danville Virginia, my job requires a bit of travel, around the state, and stopped at the Piggely Wiggely. I found Cap'n Black Gold (one of my old favs), Carter Hall, Sir Walter Raleigh, and Middletons Cherry (another old fav) for about $3.75 a bag.
I was amazed at how well they lit up and burned all the way through as well as the good smoke. The taste brought back old memories. Frankly, I thought they were on par with the more expensive B&M blends and tinned stuff I have been livving off of for years. I am glad I picked them up and may start adding them to my rotation regular. :puffpipe:
