Prince Albert: Prince Albert 14oz Pipe Tobacco

Product Number: 003-812-0002

Introduced by the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. in 1907, Prince Albert was named after Edward VII, known as Prince Albert before being crowned king. The portrait of the prince was based on one acquired by the tobacco company at a tea with Mark Twain.

An ultra-classic blend of Burley and Cavendish, with just a hint of cocoa and molasses, Prince Albert is the sort of all-day blend your father or grandfather might have smoked, marked by a timeless flavor and exceptional room note.

I come from the foothills of Appalachia. We are the descendants of English, Irish, and Scottish settlers. It's always been fashionable to hate us.

Made up of the finest Tennessee and Kentucky white burley tobacco, this is quite a simp,e blend. Nutty, chocolate, and not a bite in the whole tin. One of the best to break in a new pipe.

Hillbillies indeed. Prince Albert has been around since 1856 and is still here. That says a lot about the blend. It packs nice and it's a blend that you can sit back, enjoy and meditate. It is a good OTC. I wonder when SmokingPipes will stock Velvet.... Read More

You can't go wrong with Prince Albert. A simple, straightforward smoke. Basic, reliable, something you can smoke on a daily basis.

Product: Prince Albert Prince Albert 14oz
This blend should be compared to a cup of coffee at a diner. No bells and whistles, no exotic flavors,and not trendy. It is a wonderful Burley tobacco when you are in the mood for a simple but good smoke. I always have this old codger blend in my cel... Read More

Prince Albert Pipe Tobacco is one just about everyone's heard of. So much has been said already, but there are still so many pipe smokers that have not tried it. The basics are Burley, nutty, cocoa... but there's more to it. This blend strikes me as ... Read More

***Updated 4/8/2021. I recently opened an unopened tin of Prince Albert from 1929, and compared the two. Tough decision, but I don't live with regrets. The older version wasn't as PH-neutral and came across harsher than the newer, smoother cavendis... Read More

Great OTC. I own several 14 oz tubs. This is a great tobacco for a new pipe smoker. It packs easy, lights easy and stays lit with little effort. My grandfather always smoked PA cigarettes he rolled himself.

My friendship with the Prince goes back about 50 years. Yeah, I smoke all kinds of blends on a day-in-day-out basis. Latakia and Virginia and what not… (I don't dabble in aromatics). But sometimes you just want a good, plain, simple smoke and this is... Read More

As a fussy old guy who is very particular about plenty of things, this blend is a pleasure to smoke. Unpretentious, pleasant taste, no tongue bite, burns well. The only problem is SPs refuse to post to Australia any more. And we are paying $90AUD ... Read More

Product: Prince Albert Prince Albert 1.5oz
Pouch note of cocoa and powdered milk. Taste is simple, yet satisfying. Cocoa wheats, graham cracker, with a touch of hay and a slight buttery note. Darker, more earthy flavour towards the end of the bowl. I am happy to find that none of the terrib... Read More

Product: Prince Albert Prince Albert 1.5oz
I bought a pouch of this just to see what it was all about. I didn’t expect too much. 4 dollars isn’t a heck of a lot. I was pleasantly surprised by the alternating chocolate (almost like a cocoa puff) and spice (like a hint of pine almost). I didn’t... Read More
This should be mandatory starter tobacco
November 28, 2018
Product: Prince Albert Prince Albert 14oz
Good tobacco that stays lit well which helps build confidence for a new guy starting to smoke a pipe. It’s also a good gauge to how dry your other tobacco should be before smoking.

Classic pipe tobacco my grandfather smoked. Excellent tobacco for a beginner. It packs easy, lights easy and stays lit without much trouble.

This is the ultimate comfort tobacco. When you need a break from complexity, bite, and nic-hits, this is the place to land. Whatever topping it may have, it is so light as to be virtually nonexistent. I taste burley, which is fine by me. This is just... Read More

Product: Prince Albert Prince Albert 1.5oz
I like it. It’s s great everyday all day smoking. One of those blends you don’t have to think about. Kinda like your lawnmower cigar. You just want something to smoke. But you enjoy it.

Not going to win any awards but there's a reason it's been around forever. Easy burning. Great to smoke while driving or when you just don't want to have to pay any attention to your pipe.

This tobacco actually came out in 1907 not 1856. A German scientist invented a system on how to steam, press and crimp burley to help take the bite out of smoking tobacco. This is my everyday blend. Piedmont burley with a bit of Turkish. The tobaccos... Read More

As good as this blend may have been once upon a time, that is sadly no longer the case. Smoking this tobacco left a very distinct ammonia-like aroma in my mustache.
