Sir Walter Raleigh - Vinegar?
May 05, 2025
Product: Sir Walter Raleigh Regular 7oz
I purchased this in April 2025 as one of several codger blends. I really enjoyed the SWR Aromatic version, and so with the regular SWR I expected a burley with some nuanced flavor like Granger. Instead, the acetic acid / vinegar waft I received when I opened it made me wonder if I’d inadvertently purchased some other brand. I let the pouch vent for a few minutes, then loaded a pipe and let it sit (outgas) overnight. The charring light was actually pleasant, but subsequent draws were all flavored with a light to moderate vinegar taste that detracted from what otherwise may have been a very pleasant note. So, I’m seeing the bad-batch possibility described in some previous reviews and I was wondering if there will be any corroboration from STG, apology, and discount for future purchases of a good batch....Read More
What have they done...?

I've smoked this tobacco for almost 50 years. And yes, they've changed the cut and now you can only get it pouches or 7oz tins. I get that....it's a business decision. BUT why change the product itself? I purchased 2 X 7oz cans in December 2024. Just opened one last week. VINEGAR....IT SMELLS LIKE VINEGAR...and the taste is sharp and bites the tongue. I had read the reviews on various pipe forums of this fall from grace, but was hopefully it was just a bad batch. Its not.....It's not SWR....It's just something else and it is horrible....What fools these mortals be....Read More
Weird vinegar note.

Smokes consistently but it’s like smoking a bag of salt and vinegar chips. I’ll stick to Carter Hall for my codger blend needs.

I’m very disappointed in SWR. They’ve done something to the smell and taste. It now has a strong tangy smell and taste. I’m very disappointed and the fact they didn’t tell us. Something is definitely different and I do not like it. It used to taste very burley nice lightly sweet flavor. It’s changed. I will not purchase again!!...Read More
Unsmokeable...something wrong.

*Update: I just spoke with SP and they are aware of the problem w/Sir Walter Raleigh. So you might want to contact them before purchasing SWR and ask if they have remedied this(end/update).* Review: I just started piping a bit over 1.5 months ago. I recently picked up five 'Ball' - Latch-lock jars for five Codger blends I plan to use while numerous other blends are collected and aged. So I decided on and ordered: Velvet 7oz_Paladin 7oz_Granger 7oz_Carter Hall 14oz_and Sir Walter Raleigh 7oz. They arrived and I began the transfer process. The first I opened was SWR. I wanted to smell it and when I did, I was smacked in the face with a strong and nasty stench of vinegar. Causing me to pull away instantaneously. I put the tobacco into its jar,and in thinking I need to try and smoke a bowl; I quickly found this to be a big mistake. The taste was just as it smelled, vinegar and tart, but even more so. It was like a slurry of vinegar and cream of tartar in my mouth. I quickly dumped out the pipe. Unfortunately, the taste lasted and lingered in my mouth for more than 24 hrs. I wish I could give this a fair review, this 7oz tub of SWR; with nothing wrong with it. But I cannot do so at this time. In reviews I've heard and read people are detecting notes of: fruity_nutty_cocoa_even licorice. I got none of those....I got an overpowering tart-vinegar blast. Out of all of the blends I've gathered, and those I've opened, this has happened but one other time. It was a tin of SPC's Plum Pudding. But this SWR was even stronger; in both its smell and taste....Read More

I started smoking pipes seriously a few months ago. I set out to find my go to tobacco. I tried English blends, VaPers, aromatic Cavendishes, etc. I watched YouTube videos with pipe smoking tips and tobacco reviews. The descriptions of flavors, different taste experiences intrigued me and whetted my appetite for the hobby. I soon discovered I had a taste for Burly over other tobaccos, and started looking in that direction exclusively. With cost a consideration, I went for the old Codger blends - Captain Black, Prince Albert, Half & Half, Carter Hall, Mixture no. 79. I liked Half & Half the best, and could have made that "my smoke," but then tried SWR.

THAT was what I was looking for. It has a flavor that is utterly delicious. It is good from first light to the absolute bottom of the bowl, and I smoke it to the last bit of tobacco remaining. Some speak of hints of molasses and cocoa, and I guess that 's what it is. But it is terrific, and one of a kind.

There is nothing like SWR.

My search is over.

Product: Sir Walter Raleigh Regular 7oz
Has now become my favorite codger blend. Wonder old school burley flavor and burns great, no need for relights. Pure tobacco goodness with a hint of anise in the background complimenting the burley perfectly.
Wunderbar!

Ich habe es geschafft einer vollen 7oz Dose S.W.R habhaft zu werden, was mit der Post und dem Zoll in Deutschland überhaupt nicht einfach ist! :D Doch jetzt sitze ich an meinem Kühentisch, mit einem Becher Tee und genieße ein Pfeifchen voll leckerem Sir Walter Raleigh. Hmmmm! Der Tabak besitzt eine perfekte Feuchte, der Ribbon-Cut verleiht ihm eine angenehm lockere Struktur. Er ist super gut zu stopfen und nimmt die Flamme ohne gezicke an. Das Aroma ist sanft, unterschwellig und bleibt lange erhalten. Der Tabak glimmt entspannt runter, ohne zu beißen. Das Kaltaroma ist süßlich, leich würzig mit einer deutlichen Kakaonote. Ein leckerer Tabak an dem ich Dank dieser riesigen Dose noch viel Freude haben werde! An alle Deutschen die hier stöbern: Probiert Sir Walter Raleigh ;D...Read More
