More Details |
Prince Albert is an American pipe smoking staple, but those of you who prefer to buy in bulk have a dilemma - pay the higher price of tubs or do without. Now you have another option. This Match blend contains rich, reddish Burleys and a bit of Virginia with the same mellow, lightly-sweet flavor you've come to know, at a great price.
I am a daily Prince Albert smoker, so I had to try this just out of curiosity--and the fact that Middleton discontinued the pouches. This didn't taste anything like Prince Albert to me. It was much sweeter, too moist, and it gave me tongue bite. I've been smoking Prince Albert for years, and it never gave me tongue bite. I tried drying it out, but it was still too sweet and bit me. I ended up throwing a few ounces away. I was disappointed, because I've had some great P&C matches that I liked more than the original. I'll pay the extra money for a tub of the real thing.
