Red Cap! I Love this stuff and its cheap too!

[polocksinspace]

The smoke was mild and sweet with hints of apple. I enjoyed it in a Missorie Mersham Corncob Pipe. It could also be shared with your roll your own freinds but this still is defintaly a nice mild pipe tobbaco that has some flavor to it and can be best enjoyed in a corncob. At 85 cents a pouch in PA its the best of the cheap smokes and has been around for 90 years as well. Now who is that horse anyway on the pouch?

My friend sent me a pouch to try, as it wasn't available that i could find here. I wasn't too worried about finding it either for that matter. Though once i tried it, it really wasn't bad. Its just an honest tobacco. Good smoke, smoked cool. I enjoyed it. It doesn't have flavor that you would find in a luxury blend by any means..but its still a decent smoke. At the low price that it is, its worth a try.

I've seen some at a local Circle K here in East Central FL, never thought it would be any good though... maybe I'll try some. I imagine it's just mainly a VA/Burly blend, is there any Cav in it as well?

 

[oldmaus]

[spartan]

Nathaniel: The pouch says it contains air cured aromatic virginia and burley. Though i can't taste anything aromatic about it. Im speaking just for the 'regular' i know that they make other blends as well. Its an okay blend on its own, definately doesn't have the depth or flavor that other blends have but definately worth a try. Also on a side note if you pick up a pouch, try mixing in a little bit of Captain Black White. I did so tonight and it improved my smoke alot.
Mark: I've not seen Red Cap in Georgia either, a friend of mine had sent it to me to try. Im trying to get him into pipe smoking and he was attracted to the blend for its price. I hadn't heard of it and so he sent me a pouch of it. I'll send you a pouch if i can find some around here. ::

LIL Browns has it in stock .

They sure do, had to search for it. $5.75 for 6oz. I'll bookmark it for now, i've got a lot of backy to be trying.

I thought it is a RYO labeled as pipe tobacco to beat the tax man.

Red Cap is a very old blend over 95 years old .
