Does Anyone Remember...

I normally don't smoke Aro's any longer, but today I tried a bowl of 4Noggins "Trout Stream" and was pleasantly surprised by it. For some reason it conjured up memories of my much younger days of pipe smoking. Which brought me to remember a tobacco that I used to smoke but don't see anymore. I am not even sure if I have the name right, but it used to come in a gold package and I used to by it at my local Market Basket. Does anyone remember a "Madara Gold" or something similar? I graduated from it to Captain Black White. Then I quit smoking for years but picked it back up a few months ago. Now it's mostly English blends for me and I love Frog Morton Cellar and the latakia flavor. But, does anyone remember what the name of that Gold wrapped tobacco was? Am I close?

Are you referring to Madeira Gold? I remember smoking it in the 60s.

 

[dj11]

Yes, that is it. Thanks for getting it for me.

Haven't thought of Madeira Gold since the 60's, but remember it well.

What was the flavoring? Any idea?

I honestly don't remember the tastes but it had to be something mild because I was a new pipe smoker at the time. Thanks for the memories gang. Do you remember the company that produced it? Just curious.

It would be interesting to dig up some history on that.
