Prince Albert - Prince Albert 14oz
Great, Simple, and True
Nope, it’s not C&D, Peterson, or Three Nun. I love them all, but Prince Albert is just as good, especially when convenience considered. You run out, and you just run to the grocery store and buy some more. Opening the tin, I smell raisin and a little earth. Basically what you expect from something claiming to be burley tobacco. Out of the tin, it is dry enough to pack immediately, no need to set out. It’s ready to go. It packs a bowl easily, no rubbing out or filling the cracks with dust and crumbs. While no real need to toast and get a false lite (it pretty much just lights if that’s what you want), the first draws taste a bit nutty, sweet, and citrusy. The taste stays consistent throughout the smoke, no guessing games here. Prince Albert has a very nice retrohale, and if you inhale, it’s not going to choke you up. Most people with say it has a nice room note. If it bites the tongue, you deserve it. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a no-brainer smoke. It’s the good kind of simple all the way around. If you’re looking for a tobacco that’s going to have all the complexity in the world this is not it, but if you looking for a tobacco you can smoke to get the job done it’s right here.

Cornell & Diehl - Awakened Elder 2oz
Great Smoking English
This blend has a right amount of everything to be a very good English blend. It smokes great in my Savinelli Sasso 106 that is reserved for English blends. I don’t know how C&D was able to pull off something that is smooth and a bit spicy at the same time, but they did. Every a want in an English, and a bit more that I didn’t know I wanted.
