Cracker Jacks

[ontario]

When I was young my Grandfather used to smoke a pipe tobacco that had the aroma and flavor of Cracker Jacks...Any ideas what it might have been?

Well, I would assume he smoked an OTC, so maybe Granger? Just a SWAG. :D

He traveled all over the world so not sure where he may have picked it up but I can still smell it plain as day

He had a huge pipe collection and humidors full of tobacco...he pastaway when I was 12...no idea where his pipes went

The only OTC I can think of that may come close is Middleton's Sugar Barrel. Still available on some sites.

Yeah, I guess it could have been Sugar Barrel, I smoke it some, but couldn't tell you about the room note.

Could I get these OTC blends in Ogdensburg NY?

 

[ontario]

He once let me take a puff...maybe it's only a fond memory but I will hold on to it all the same if that's ok.

 

[ontario]

I miss mine like I'm sure you do....Mine was a great man like I'm sure your's was.

 

[ontario]

I feel like I said something wrong...If I did I'm sorry.

 

[ontario]

Anyhow any ideas?...Caramel nutty sweet flavor?...Thanks to those that have answered

I'll take a look at my B&M to see if they have any. While I'm not near Ogdensburg, I am Upstate so mail wouldn't take too long. I'm trying to remember if I saw Sugar Barrel there.

edit to add: i believe 4noggins sells it by the ounce.

Check out Gatlin-Burlier online or call them - There "Mountain Mall Mix" smells and tastes like Cracker Jack. A very tasty aromatic.
