It's a good thing we don't all have the same tastes.
If it makes you feel better a lot of the raved about blends are just meh in my opinion.
For burley devotees, it's hard to beat. It also gives you an idea of how some codger blends have lasted so long. jimink's narrative of how he saved the blend has the ring of the super hero.
Speaking of tins, the one on the left I received in 2019. The one on the right is from 2021. The new one still has the same nicotine warning, but it is now a single line of print placed inconspicuously on the back with the other text. I've noticed this on a lot of new tobacco.
I've had my first bowl of EGR and was not fond of it. I bought it at the same time as Distinguished Gentleman and thought they'd be similar but much preferred DG. I'll certainly be givign EGR another shot in various pipes.
I know my opinion doesn't mean squat, but it is a shame our tobacco companies are forced to ruin the nostalgic beautiful artwork on these vintage comfy looking tubs and pouches. I have no clue why it has to be that big. In the European countries they have those disgusting images of diseased lungs or people acting like they are coughing up blood, I mean, come on. We are adults and understand the risks but these images and the ruined traditional tobacco pouches and tubs are overboard.
Because it's a way to look like they're doing something without actually doing anything. It's pretty bad, but as long as the blend inside is the same.
me too. It's the blend that made me stop buying sample sizes when tubs and bulk are a thing. I smoked the tin so fast I was actually surprised when it was empty. Had a moment of thinking did I spill half of it or did someone steal it?
Codger often goes hand in hand with cheap which this blend is not. The price is comparable to most any premium blend @ 10 bucks for 1.5 ounces or 44 bucks for 12.
Fun Fact: Smokingpipes.com attributes the revival of this blend to Jim Amash aka. Jiminks. It says so right in the description of the stuff! The man, the legend!

I might have already said this but it looks like he's eating the pipe in that pic too. Not sure why but it does.
It'll be dry as bone inside. Great score though.View attachment 240587View attachment 240588
I found this at an antique shop a few years ago. Never tried the brand. Not sure if I should ever consider opening this pack though.
Never liked it due to the amount of burly in these. It is really hard to believe that you asked where you can get some.
