I was wondering if anyone here smokes Velvet? When I was in high school, many moons ago. A fella had a hand roller, and a tub of Velvet. He was rolling cigs for people at a party one night, and they were awesome! Haven't had, or seen Velvet since. Just curious if I was intoxicated that night, or was it that good?

Albert King smoked it, so it can't be that bad.
"Tell me about velvet"? Well, it's used to create backgrounds for masterpieces such as dogs smoking and playing pool. You can also wear it
I have a pouch of Velvet I occasionally visit. I believe that given enough time, any one of these classic OTC’s will endear themselves to you, become a familiar favorite. They’re all good, solid Burley blends with a nice flavor if you allow the time to let it grow on you. As designed, easy going, all day type blends.
Definitely not a fan. Tried getting through a pouch of the stuff earlier this year and have to say the “play dough” thing was not my thing. I ended up gifting it down the road. However, it’s a blend that many folks like so this is just one fella.

Oh and at $23.99 per tub! If you do like it, so will your wallet! It’s a bargain for a solid, honest blend that’s been around for better than 100 years. Try it.
Maybe I'm just confused, but I still don't know what website this is.
I'm reasonably sure Velvet still comes in a pouch, so you can sample it that way before committing to a tub. First, you have to like burley because that's all it is. I think CH, PA, Chatham Manor, and Granger are probably each more popular, but Velvet remains popular. I suspect it doesn't taste the same in a pipe as it did made into a cigar, and nothing will taste the same as it did in high school. The teenage sensory equipment and brain are in a different place.
Velvet is a Old School classic OTC blend that can be found locally from time to time. Quite a bit cheaper than Captain Black or some other OTC's. It has a flavor similar to Granger or Sir Walter Regular although they are all unique in their own way. I really like velvet and have yet to try a OTC blend I didn't like. Would recommend trying a pouch first to see if you like it before commuting to a full tub.
I've never tried Velvet, but I might just have to now. In the meantime, this is my favorite, Black Velvet. For the Guinness lovers out there... 
Not one of my favorites, but it's still around and enjoyed by those that buy it.
That sounds good.I've never tried Velvet, but I might just have to now. In the meantime, this is my favorite, Black Velvet. For the Guinness lovers out there...

Just bought a pouch from a flea market for cheap. Made by Pinkerton Tobacco Company. Rehydrating with a favorite whiskey. I lost an old tin of Prince Albert from the early Sixties. Mold city. Yes from 62 to 65. Learned my lesson. Waiting about a month to try my Velvet. Wish me a lot of luck.
