Not Always.
I bought another brand and paid 6 bucks for 8 ounces.
I had to apologize to my new gifted pipe after smoking it.
It kind of works blending in with my good vanilla cavendish but i wont cry when its gone.

I have always been curious about the Classic blend - Smoker's Pride Vanilla and Black cavendish are very good, in my opinion. I have thought about adding a bag of the Rum blend to an order in the future, too.
My local B&M doesn't carry this stuff, but the closest cigarette shop (with nice walk-in humidor) does - unfortunately, it is priced at about twice what you can get it for online. I support local businesses often, but SP is strictly something I get online.

Where do you get it online?
The place i have used just about doubles the price once they add in two different tax's and shipping.
Preparing a stock up order which includes trying new blends.
Thanks
Smokingpipes had it for under 20 bucks a bag the last time I checked - P&C always has it for really cheap, too ...word has it they can be a bit slow on shipping, tho. My local place marks the bags up to 37 bucks (lol) ...any online option is cheaper than that, even if I pay full shipping.
I’ve had this before and it’s pretty good. I also used to smoke Admiral’s Choice in the big bag for years.
As the OP pointed out, men back in the day smoked these blends for a lifetime and enjoyed them, and probably never gave it a second thought. They wanted to smoke a pipe, and this kind of tobacco is what the drug store carried - end of story.
Same with Miller, Bud, and Coors (et al) beer - arid that was good enough for a working man.
Now these things are scoffed at in many circles. That’s sad to me.

I like Budweiser and smoke Prince Albert every day. Sometimes something fancier is nice. Most days the simple stuff is fine for me
I like their black cavendish (though it's a little wet) and their rum and whiskey flavored burley. Didn't care for the cherry cavendish (thought it was bland) or the vanilla cavendish (that one's a straight up tongue burner). In general, I think the Smoker's Pride product beat the pants off of most of the Super Value stuff (except the SV English is pretty good).
I'll be looking to try this one next time I put in an order. Looks like it's the same as the "Natural Blend", just a different name?

I found it nearly tasteless when I tried a bag from Costco twenty or thirty years ago. It's inexpensive so, it has that going for it.
I probably tried ten or so bowls. It never tickled my palate. I tossed the remained of a rather large bag.

I'm a cigarette smoker. I use that for RYO. Well bag tobaccos I mean like Gambler and American Pride. I thought that was RYO.
The SP Rich Taste and Mellow Taste (now discontinued, unfortunately) are shag cut, RYO type tobaccos, but those types of tobacco still smoke well in a pipe. I hydrate them a little and pack them tight. Plain, but a good (and easy) smoke. It's a good "garage time" smoke for me in a Missouri Pride - about as simple as it gets right there.
My supply of Rich Taste has run out, though, so I recently ordered half a pound of Daughters & Ryan Three Sails to try.
The Rum Cured is good. Just butterscotch tasting burley. Burns easy, cool, and dry for me.
Which other tobacco would you compare the nicotine level with?
Thanks for your feedback on this tobacco as I was considering ordering some.
Its taxed differently for RYO. Cigarette tobacco usually will need a local tax stamp. Call it “pipe tobacco” and voila! No need to tax it since its in a different “classification “.
I think if Carter Hall had a little more Vitamin N it would grow up to be SP Classic Blend.Which other tobacco would you compare the nicotine level with?

All the Smoker’s Pride blends are premium pipe tobacco value blends today, if they weren’t always.
The ones that are labeled cavendish are candy sweet, and all are rough cut with propylene glycol obvious. You could smoke them RYO but they aren’t in the cheap RYO displays, rather with pipe tobaccos, which they are intended to be.
