Mixture 79 in a cob. I ordered a few pouches recently after finishing the last of my older pouches I had purchased back when the pouch still came in a box. This recently produced pouch seems toned down and different as far as the aroma & casing/topping that are applied go. Tastes a bit different as well, the tobacco's natural flavor is a little more prominent.
I never picked up on the root beer scent in the past until opening this newer pouch. I even had my wife smell it and she immediately said it smelled like root beer. Not sure if the blend has gone through changes over the years or the perceived difference is due to the freshness of the pouch. I still dig it and will continue keeping a few pouches stashed away.
I wonder what blend Larry Flynt would endorse if he smoked a pipe. I am assuming it would have a little more oomph.
