Smoker's Pride: Classic Blend 12oz Pipe Tobacco

This is a codger/OTC type burley-based blend which sits at a lower price point than old favorites such as Prince Albert, Carter Hall, Sir Walter, etc. The bag note is strange - a weird, kind of floral and fruity, artificial sort of scent which reminds me a bit of green apple candies and (weirdly enough) lychee ramune soda. Admittedly, it is kind of off-putting. Fortunately, this doesn't really translate much to the taste while smoking, as the predominant topping is a light, creamy vanilla atop a simple Burley with flavors of cocoa and nuts, with a hint of vague fruityness at the edges. It can get a little ashy if smoked hot, but not bitey in my experience. Room note is reportedly not as good as other burleys, according to the Mrs. Overall, if you are a fan of OTCs, this is worth trying, but I don't think it will be replacing Prince Albert for me....Read More

If you want an easy going, mild aromatic with slight hints or caramel and vanilla this is for you. I gave it 3.5 stars as of the moment as I wait for the evaluation of my fellow pipe smokers.
Edit: I smoked this again may 2, 2023. I was surprised how pleasant it is if smoked with small but frequent sips. I am now upgrading this to 4 stars because of the price point and taste....Read More

I've been smoking MacBaren tobaccos for 40 years but thought I'd try the Smokers Pride because it was less expensive. My first bowl had a little more bite than I like. This was probably due to the fact that it burns faster and hotter than the MacBarens.

没想到美国人也抽旱烟呢。，，石楠木烟斗差点被烧坏了，放在自己diy的陶瓷斗钵旱烟杆里倒是蛮香，本来用来抽亚布力的，没想到用在这里了，有旱烟杆可以试试，想抽斗还是去买点别的吧
