Looking for my Grandfathers Tobacco

[Streeper541]

I've heard Granger described sometimes as having a hints of cherry. Also, perhaps consider Smoker's Pride?

Both were readily available 40 years ago. Did Captain Black produce it's cherry blend back then? I can't remember seeing it.

It was 30 years ago and the existing tins that often pop up from the '70s and '80s would suggest it goes further back.

basically why would they not know about aging?

Probably not even a consideration, more likely stocking up while available much like myself. Not being a fan of changes with age but glad I have it to smoke.

Were you smoking when you were three?

No, but my grandfather smoked pipes and I used to go to the drug store with him to get his tobacco. I remember what he smoked and also know what brands have been around long enough to fit the original posters criteria.

I've only been smoking pipes since 1998ish.

Prince Albert also had Soft Vanilla Cherry that was very pleasant.

Sorry if that came off snarky, I was just attempting a funny, knowing that we're about the same age.

All good. Load 'em up. I'm a big boy.

Starting to sound like I may have to go out and buy a pouch of any of these I’m able to find. Do they still produce the Prince Albert vanilla cherry?

For whatever it’s worth, apparently you can still find Middleton Cherry out there in some B&M stores because I ran across some and bought it today out of sheer nostalgia! It’s been ages since I last had it and lord only knows how long it’s been on the shelf but I doubt it’s possible to dry it out completely, lol.

Guess I’ll find out if it’s mummy dust when I unseal the box and pouch.
