Oh, okay..makes sense now. I have some Prince Albert and plan to try some half and half next. SWR will be later on.

Thanks!

Love the stuff (SWRA). Disappears faster than any other tobacco in my cache. Think it's the booze. ?

If I claim newby can I get a pass on asking what SWR is? The trucker in me wants to tune my CB now..

I have a couple of tubs of it. It ain't cheap, but it's a good value.

SWR = Sir Walter Raleigh, and SWRA = Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic, two grand old codger blends that come in a pouch or a tub, that anyone smoking a pipe is required to sample under penalty of unrequited relights.

My favorite American OTC blend.

Not sure if you can get this in the UK. I've not seen it. Umm, I shall look now, I feel like I need to try it.

I did find SWR;

I’d say contact the Pipe Club of London to see what they’d have to say too;

I find it smokeable which puts it squarely in that category. It has zero gross taste. Then again it's been decades since I sampled it so.

I ordered a tub for Black Friday. It won’t be my main tobacco but an addition to my weekly smoking. Should I keep it in the tub or transfer to jars? Not sure how long it stays fresh after opening.

I've had mine in the tub since June 2018 and it's still fresh. So far as putting it in jars, that's a personal decision. If you have the space and enough jars then do it.

That's my experience, too.

So far, SWR is the OTC I reach for among those I tried. Just a good comfy smoke. I have to try SWRA.

Based on this thread, I went and bought a tub. I'm looking forward to cracking it open!
