Einstein’s Revelation

[JimInks]

revolution, rumination, ramification... I'm not sure what a relevation is though.

I love the idea of a latakia OTC. Were there others that had latakia also?

Country Doctor, Barking Dog, and Hayward Mixture (which Bing Crosby smoked), Blue Boar, London Dock, and Walnut immediately come to mind. There were a few others that came along in the 1960s and into the early 70s that I can't think of at the moment.

And Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend, youse mug!! Myeah!

I forgot Brindley's Mixture.

Thanks Jim. I should have remembered Country Doctor as my pipe club shared a tin of that a few years ago. I wish there were at least one OTC that still had latakia.

Does this count as OTC?

Distinguished Gentleman - E. Hoffman Company Pipe Tobacco

E. Hoffman's Distinguished Gentleman is a gently fragrant English Aromatic pipe tobacco with an intoxicating aroma and a pleasant room note.

I can't say because I don't know if it was ever sold in drugstores or super markets.

Both of the E. Hoffman offerings have latakia in them and are simple, old-timey blends. I'm sure they could be considered at home in the OTC category though as Jim points out we don't know if they were sold in drug stores.

You sure don't see advertising like that anymore. ?

I agree. Can’t imagine anyone today being taken in by such. I give Truth In Advertising Laws the credit

Epiphany is a tasty match to Revelation, I think.

For what it is worth, Sutliff has a Revelation match blend for about $2.50 an ounce.

If not worth much, it is still relative.

Painter Hills seems like Revelation on steroids to me. I like it. A lot. I like that blend recipe, kind of an Americanized "English." I may not know what I'm talking about, though, because I can't remember ever seeing a pouch of Revelation that wasn't dried out and tossable. We're talkin' 1970s here, at best. Never saw signs of it being as popular as PA or the others.

Is that a pun?

Is that a pun?

Sutliff having a match blend, no.

It all being relative, yes; but it isn't punny.

One of my favorites. Painter hills is creamy, sweet, nutty, smoky. Just perfect.

Which do you prefer? I like Revelation Match a good bit and am looking to try Epiphany with my next online order.

I have not had the Match Revelation, but i do like the Epiphany.

Haven't had the original revelation but the Sutliff match is good on its own merit.
