Stereotypical Pipe Smell?

As a child, I didn't know there was any other pipe tobacco besides Half & Half, until I was eight or so. That was a long time ago. I don't think it's quite the same today. Could just be me, I suppose. My uncles smoked it exclusively.

Our fathers would smoke SWR, PA, Briggs, Lane 1Q, EGR, etc. Those all are primarily burley blends with certain amount of added vanilla. The smell was heavenly.

To me the closest I've come to experiencing that old fashioned sweet pipe smell from a room note (or sidestream smoke) is Amphora Full Aroma. Grab yourself a pouch in your next order. It's good and it's cheap! More like a semi-aro. Lots of natural flavor underneath. Virgina, Burley and a touch of Oriental.

My father in law always smoked a pipe and my wife loved the smell as a kid.
She has identified it by smell as Captain Black

In Romania, the stereotypical pipe smell is something we shy away from nowadays. We call it "Bulgarian aftershave" or "sweet candy" .. and it typically refers to cheap otc blends such as clan, or whatever was available during the communist period. Of course, this was the "gentleman's" smoke .. poor peasants in the country side would smoke dried leaf that they would hang on their front porch.
