The New Prince Albert

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

Is the new Prince Albert worth having around? I'm speaking of the new production stuff from the Dominican Republic.

This is the first time I've seen this question come up. We all know about CH.

Someone here has had to have tried the new PA!

I read Jims review, I believe he dropped a star when he reviewed the new one.

Half a star is what I deducted.

I know there's a thread on this forum discussing the changes in Carter Hall and SRW, but seems like the new PA was discussed somewhere here.

You were a on a PA kick years back werent you?

It's a shame really. I'm fortunate to be stocked up on my favorite tubs.

I find the new stuff to be good but it lacks the sweetness of its former self.

Yes I was. Smoked a lot of it years ago. It's been a while but I can remember the taste to a T. I should try the new stuff just for fun.

Sweetness is the main thing the old stuff has going for it. Without that I may drop it down a half a star as well.

I'm going to order a tub and see. I would just get a pouch, but I know there's usually quite a difference between the two.

I have a nice stash of the old stuff, from the first time they discontinued it several years back, but I'd like to have a few more tubs if the new is almost as good.

I should get a tub of the Dominican stuff. Smoked pounds of old version over the years and sort of did a 'shoulder shrug' when they moved production and just considered it done and gone.

I think the pouches may have gone away with the production move. I haven't seen those in a while.

I've got a tub of the DR stuff going, and it tastes good to me - but It had been too long since I had smoked any to give a fair comparison.
