My pipe smoking adventures began with the typical drug store Aros, and I was introduced to 1Q early, the other shop blends, and only recently delved into some of the old codger blends. Haven't really tried Prince Albert, either in the can or the pouch. Much like trying a tobacco to see which one is better, I think we should at least give our administration a chance and see how it turns out, before chucking it in the can (or pouch). We smoke pipes because we are not into instant gratification. Takes time to age some blends and get the best flavor.
