50+ Years Used and Still Is My Favorite
Have used Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic since around 1965 and it remains my favorite pipe tobacco today. No bite, nice flavor and the aromatic aroma has never been duplicated. I can not list how many times I have been complimented by people of the aroma. My favorite time was when 2 elderly ladies followed me around a flea market until I stopped and they came up to inform me they just loved the aroma of my pipe. I thanked them and it made my day just a little bit better knowing how someone else had got pleasure from my enjoyment.

That good
en I was growing up, there was a neighborhood store (60's) and the man who owned it smoked SWR. I remember the way the small store smelled when I walked in there. This was his all day smoke. Never saw him without a pipe hanging from his mouth. He's long gone, but his little building is still there, but passing by, I still remember the smell of his store. I'm 69 now, but that sweet smell is still with me.. I haven't smoked SWR in a long time, but I remember the taste. Maybe its time to step back in to time..

Perfect room note
I can see why this has been such a mainstay over the decades. For an aromatic it is very very subtle. The smoke is smooth, the moisture is perfect out of the pouch (for me anyway). The flavor is good but mild. The thing that really sells me on this is that the aroma is exactly what I remember pipe tobacco smelling like since my childhood. The quintessential pipe aroma, I suppose. I’m not sure if it’s my favorite yet, but I’m definitely going to keep some on hand.

Nice Taste and Milder Than SWR Regular
I enjoy Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic slightly more than the regular blend. The aromatic blend has a less stingy, spicy, zing for me as compared to the regular blend. Both are great in pouch note, room note and taste. But I do tend to favor the aromatic aroma and taste over the regular as well.

The only tobacco I have
The only tobacco I have used for more years than I want to admit. Great flavor and never bites. Burns evenly and not too hot. I don't like the smaller cans - and understand it is a way to hide the ever increasing cost.

It's been years since I've smoked but I well remember this brand. It was never harsh or over sweet, just a smooth smoke. I don't see as many people smoking a pipe nowadays, but then again, things have changed for just about everything. Maybe it's time to get my old pipes out and smoke em..

This tobacco is dryer than
This tobacco is dryer than what I'm used to. By that virtue, it burns much easier than other more moist tobaccos. It's quite easy to puff and I tend to go through this much quicker than other tobaccos. For the value, it's pretty good and I'd recommend it.

Excellent for breaking in new pipes 👍👍

Not for me
Wanted to try this as I like SWR regular. I don’t care for the aromatic. There’s nothing wrong with this tobacco , I just don’t like the flavoring. I can’t tell what the flavoring is, but it doesn’t appeal to me . I’ll stick with SWR regular.

This is nothing like SWR Regular. It has Burley, but that is about it. The liquor topping reminds me of Christmas. Smooth. No bite. Most will not find this to be actually aromatic, but the taste is very nice. I've been smoking this for years and it has not changed very much. Love both versions of SWR.

I've been smoking this for years but I dislike the new smaller 7 oz cans so much that I will probably switch. Cans are too small to put pipe and fingers into to pack pipe and too flimsy to hold between my knees to pack my pipe. Great tobacco though.

On again off again pipe
On again off again pipe smoker. Recently retired and smoking the pipe regularly now that I have time to enjoy it. I still get PA in tubs in my area (Wyoming) but wanted to try something different and decided to order 2 pouches of SWRA to try it. I wasn't too impressed at first (one bowl is not enough to make a judgement), but it got better the more I smoked it. Definite note of chocolate. I get lots of compliments on the aroma. Much more than PA. After the first pouch I ordered the 7 oz tub. Sip it and there's very littler bite, But hit it hard and try to gulp and it will bite you, but I think all tobacco does to some degree. I'll order it from you again.

A league above for an extraordinary gentleman.
I found the Aromatic to be leagues above the original. The aroma is pretty robust so it does have a strong smell and flavor to it, which could be off putting to a tobacco purest. (I guess that's what you would call them?) I don't think I can adequately describe the aroma. That robustness seems to come from a spice, like cinnamon. So, a hint of cinnamon roll? I know, that sounds pretty weird but trust me, it's good. I'm gonna have to read the other reviews and see what other people think of the flavors and smells.

Just a good, simple, all
Just a good, simple, all day smoke. I like to throw this in a pipe on my long drive to/from work. Smokes completely and without any fuss, no relights. Taste is fairly unique. Although a little boring, it still makes me want to keep trying again to figure out what that "other" flavor is. For the price, Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic is a fantastic bargain. The taste doesn't seem to be fake or synthetic. Reminds me of a fine cognac on a cold winter night, reading the same old book in front of the warm fire. Basic, yet somehow very satisfying.

My go-to brand!

Solid burley blend
When I first smoked inherited family pipes as a young man, it was always Captain Black. When I decided pipe smoking would be great for pandemic life (in the garage), SWRA was my first tobacco purchase in over a decade. I enjoyed it very much, but am realizing now that I really like burley blends and that is what I liked most about SWRA - the nutty burleys. I finished the pouch before I could gather more details than that. Plan to revisit but not for a few months or so.

A blue collar, hardworking aromatic. Gets the job done!
Certainly not a bad tobacco, especially considering the price. Set against something like 1-Q, SWR’s Aromatic stays airy with a little bite. The taste is classically aromatic and by all means good but disappears, or rather never fully materializes. There are better, cheaper tobaccos if you buy bulk, but as a pouch Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic is a fine choice in its price range.

I would give it 4
I would give it 4 1/2 stars if that were possible. It is a very pleasant aromatic both for the smoker and for others nearby. If you're looking for that smoke that is reminiscent of grandpa's pipe tobacco, this is the one you want. Mellow, sweet, with almost Christmasy notes, It's good for an all-day smoker.

Pleasant surprise.
Not what I was looking for, but a very pleasant surprise. Thin ribbon cut packs easily and stays lit well. The ouch nose definitely has the subtle plum and dried fruit notes. IMHO doesn't really make it to the palate, but the flavor was quite nice. not like "cigarettes" at all. Smoke was nice; wasn't to thin and wasn't just a blue-grey that disappears quickly. It was Definitely one to have in the rotation.

Was my all-time favorite
This used to be my favorite years ago after trying many others. However, my recent experience for the last few months has been dismal--all the pouches I bought locally were dried out, no taste and more like dried out grass. I guess SWR had a lot of inventory that just sat in warehouses, don't know....however, I did just purchase locally a pouch and..WOW!..it's back to where I remember! I just did order a canister from P&C and, hopefully, it will be moist, flavorful and as great as it used to be. If not, I will give up on SWR Aromatic.....

Best all around every day
I've been through most of the tobacco's over the years and this always comes back to the front. It's the best. Whether it's for a relaxing smoke at the end of the day, walking around a junk yard all day, or anything else it will never disappoint. It had a small bite that matches up perfect to a glass of wine or even a cranberry/apple cider. Perfect. It's not overly aromatic like the fru fru but is very well balanced and has a great room note as well as a nice beard note.

Not Bad
This was actually my first ever pipe tobacco I ever tried. I gave it another go again recently so I could be objective. It is very smooth and has no tongue bite, big plus. All you really taste when you smoke it is the strong casing. Sort of like a sweet vanilla milkshake. The room note was very pleasant. All that said, it is an OTC and I’m not an everyday smoker so I like the nicer pricier blends. But if you are on a budget or an every day pipe smoker you could certainly do worse.

Struck out.
Was in a pinch and purchased this at a local store. I was hoping it would have some aromatic flavor. It did not. It did have a slight pouch note, perhaps a whiff of vanilla. However when smoked it had nothing but the taste of grass. To be more specific it tasted like moss. Totally one dimension with one taste. Even the retro hit was nasty. This is not for those who want a real aromatic or those who desire some hint of flavor in their tobacco besides grass.

Missing the fine edge that is present in more expensive blends but still a very good smoke. A good change of pace that’s easy to pack, light and smoke to the bottom. A classic American blend that shouldn’t be overlooked.

Venerable old timer...smoke with respect...
Nice change of pace from more robust and pricier blends. Easy light, easy to smoke and keep lit. Tasty but mild.not overwhelmingly aromatic...just very pleasant...she says it’s OK. There’s a good reason it’s been a marker mainstay for so long...besides, didn’t Sir Walter sort of start the tobacco thing.

Almost too mild
A nice lighter change up, but I prefer more full-bodied blends. Certainly not a bad smoke, would be a great starting place for someone new to pipes. Pro: the wife said the smoke didn’t ‘stink’! Con: that’s because the flavor isn’t very complex.
5 out of 5
Price of an OTC but smokes like a Premium
I love this tobacco. For a working man's smoke this one is so close to perfect that you could smoke it all day in the shop or just relaxing after work in your recliner. Opening the pouch you get a nice little note of almost a grapy leaf smell. This was by far one of the easiest to light tobaccos I have tried this year. Easy to char and easy to keep an ember without having to feel like you are breathing a wind tunnel through your pipe. I'll definitely be ordering a pouch or two of this one for the shop every month to keep on hand along with the premium tins. So if you are wondering whether or not to order this one I say give it a try you might just like it as much as I do and make it a staple for OTC tobacco to keep on hand.

I have tried this tobacco in two different pipes and the result is the same in both. When lit you get a nice bloom of smoke and smooth flavor of the tobacco itself. The flavor itself reminds me of the smell that you get when you drop in a fine tobacco shop, woodsy with a little hint of liquor. Though I would not say as strong as brandy but more of a cognac, the type that you can sip all day and never be unsatisfied. Overall I really, really enjoy this one for a everyday working smoke but not one of those that you would use winding down at the end of the day. Goes great with coffee though.

Great! Who needs any other!
Low price and to me just as pleasing as other high priced tobacco's.

Haven't smoked swr original for awhile, always liked it. Didn't know what to expect from swr aromatic, ribbon cut, even burn and not overpowering. An enjoyable pipe tobacco.

Nice everyday smoke
This was my first experience with Air Walter Aromatic and I was really happy with it. Nice arkma, unlike a lot of Cavendish aromatics it had some depth and body to it without any tongue bite. All in all a great everyday smoke and one I will visit regularly.

Great tobacco- unchanged!
SWR Aromatic is just about my favorite drug store tobacco. Brings back happy memories whenever I open up the pouch. Sweet, mild and great flavor and aroma. This one, and the return of Amphora have made me extremely happy! So glad I found Pipesandcigars.com!

An overall pleasure to smoke with a great taste and a very pleasant room note.
Been smoking pipe infrequently for 10+ years but recently started to get more versed in the quality and types of tobacco. Ordered a few blends that have stood the test of time. This one was one that I immediately enjoyed from the pouch note to the end of the bowl! The nose on this is of brown sugar with cocoa and the fruity liqueur used in the casing. Taste includes chocolate, some vanilla and I tasted some sweet orange. Surprised at the overall balance of taste throughout the whole bowl as well as how cool this burned. An overall pleasure to smoke with a great taste and a very pleasant room note.

Worth trying.
In all my many years, I had never tried this because it was an over the counter blend. This was a huge mistake because this is a very good blend. It has taste, but not overpowering.

Good daily smoke
I'm fairly new to the piping world, but was pleasantly surprised by this blend. This is probably my favorite drugstore blend I've tried so far. This could easily be an all day smoke. Fills well, stays lit, mild taste, little to no tongue bite. Would recommend anyone to try if you haven't.

Lets just be friends!
Relatively new to pipe smoking and have started serious sampling of different blends. I have smoked this blend once and find it to be unimpressive yet a peaceful smoke. Nothing harsh and maybe I'm missing something because I'm still new to the greater perspective of large numbers of blends, but this blend is nice. Which is why I rated it 3 stars.

Not for me
I've heard mixed reviews and decided to try. For me it was a very temperamental tobacco. To me it seemed to want to be packed perfect and would fight. It also left a strange aftertaste and could not pinpoint it to the tobacco or the pipe. Many love it, I will probably come back to it in a while.

A classic in all aspects.
Excellent mild smoke, with very pleasant aroma and taste.

Doesn't Quite Fully Live Up to the Hype
I'm a relatively novice pipe smoker and bought this based on reviews and word of mouth. In my opinion, this isn't as good compared to some of the Lane varieties I've grown accustomed to and some of the Sutliff blends I smoke. It's not a bad tobacco...it just doesn't work for me.

Found My Go To
Well I just found my new go to tobacco. I wasn't really looking for a mainstay but the subtlety and smoky sweetness out of my corncob is all I've ever wanted in a smoke. I will surely be buying a lot of this.

Pleasant aroma, but a little peppery smoke
Pleasant aroma, but a little too pepper-y for me.

Old world quality that is very pleasantly reminiscent of the past
This tobacco is a definite winner with flavor and room note! Smokes cool and burns consistent with no bite. Definitely going to be one of my regular everyday blends. Has an old world quality that is very pleasantly reminiscent of the past.

I really wanted to like this
I wanted to try this tobacco for some time, and I did last night. Unfortunately, it started to make the back of my throat feel quite strange after I started smoking it. I had to empty the bowl and switch to a different brand as this was just a strange sensation that I had never had in my pipe tobacco years. I will give it another try and see if I have the same experience as I would really like to like this. It has a nice room note, but if it messes with my throat and makes it uncomfortable, it is going in the trash.

I like liquor as a flavoring much better than the "candy bar" approach. Try this one, you'll like it.

not my cup of tea
I'm very fond of Sir Walter Raleigh, but I won't be buying any more of aromatic. It bites and I didn't like the taste. I'll stick with the regular, thanks.

nice and strong old fashion
Nice but strong ,pretend to be aromatic but i would not consider this as aromatic,mellow yes,it smokes fine in medium size briar pipe(i used old Danish) and giving long ,almost endless smoking time in meer medium size pipe for some reson and probably would not stay in my rotation longer as i do like light roast and small size pipes,my preferences 1"tall pipe,so i am going from this perspective,give it a try,seems it gets stronger with time.

Nice Smoke
I hadn't smoked any S.W.R. in a very long time so I bought a pouch to try and found it as pleasant as I remember it. Nice aroma, burns well with a mild bite that lets you know you smoked some quality burley.

Sir Walter Ralrigh Aeromatic
It has an Aeromatic room note with a normal Burley taste. To me it is like smoking SWR regular. Easy to light and cool on the tongue.

PLEASING ROOM NOTE....THE END.
Definately needs to dry for a few days. Afterwards, it lights up nice and has a good room note. Not many other redeeming qualities about this one, it has a distinct burning wood taste, smokes hot, and will bite. This blend is not for me, I will turn to Borkum Riff Original Mixture before this any day.

No-Nonsense Aromatic
I mostly smoke aromatics but also dabble in non-aromatics. Although I do enjoy sweet tobaccos immensely, I really wanted a no-nonsense kind of aromatic that provided some sweetness but not overkill. Very nutty and slightly sweet. Does have a slight bitterness to it, but I actually kind of like it.

Good but inconsistent
Up and down on this one. First bowl will be sweet and enjoyable, if a little mild. Next bowl will bite my tongue and inside of my mouth. Never know which to expect. It always leaves a nice aftertaste and has a great room note, however.

Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic
I remember the distinct mellow experience when I was a younger man first starting a pipe aficionado experience. I thought I'd try some more from your store because the price was unmatched compared to everyone else's. It's still a great smoke that's never a dissapointment. Thanks again Pipes and Cigars.

Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic
This is a nice, honest tobacco. Not too heavily cased. Stays lit, smells great. I have tried a few big money tins, and great bulks. If I had to choose only one OTC smoke for the rest of my life, this would be it.

Just a good basic little smoke.
Not bad for a basic brand. Not too heavy. I prefer a sweeter taste, this wan't what I was looking for. Would make a good base to mix with other flavors.

S.W.R. Aromatic is one of my favorites. Tastes like the 20th century, with a nose like a vintage record shop!

"Yes Sir!" Walter Raleigh
This is a very mild tobacco: Great for a newbie or as an everyday staple.
Customer Testimonials
Clean, dry, wonderful experience. Can't find it locally, definitely worth the mail order. Lit well, burned well, smelled wonderful, nothing to complain about. I like Sir Walter original too. If I were limited to smoke two OTCs for the rest of my life it would be SWR and SWRA.
JH of Traverse City, MI
Good stuff! I like it much better than SWR regular. Lots of rich flavorful smoke, little or no bite, easy to keep lit, and leaves a nice room note. I'll be getting more of this. Home Run!
RY of Lyons, NY
This is one of mine and my wives favorites, great room presence and smokes great. I always keep a large amount of this on hand stored in mason jars.
RK of South Bend, IN
I bought some Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic upon the multiple recommendations. Light to moderate strength with tobacco flavor coming through very well. Nice room note and consistent through the bowl. Not my absolute favorite aromatic of all time, but I would rank it my #2 Drug Store Blend behind Captain Black Dark. Worth trying, and if I ran out of other tobaccos (unlikely to happen in about six lifetimes!!) I would buy this in a store. Classic American blend that's reasonably priced and a fairly good smoke.
TF of Lake Elsinore, CA
I enjoy the aroma from burley and SWRA gives me that plus the Virginia adds the sweet and smoothness so it is not a biter. One can smoke this all day.
DW of Urbana, IL
This is a great aromatic for any price. It has fruity notes to it. It's not to strong and not to light but just right.
KJ of Aiea, HI
If rich flavorful tobacco is what you're looking for SWR is not for you. There is almost no detectable flavor. It however smells very nice. If you want a very mild tobacco that you can smoke all day without any bite, I would reccomend SWR.
DP of Warrenton, VA
One of my favorite aromatic tobaccos!
EH of Plano, TX
Local Tobacco store is no longer going to carry SWR products so I got a 12oz tin for less than $1 per ounce. It smokes well, and smell unbelievably good in the tin. My sons will sniff the can when I lift the lid. It smells like my wife is baking for Christmas. The room note is like a warm house on a cold winter night. Money well spent.
JM of La Porte, IN
This is the meat and potato of the pipe tobacco industry. I'm a big fan of english and areos alike and have a number of tins to choose from from one day to the next. But when it comes to my everyday smoke I look no further than SWRA. It is a dry smooth smoke, with just sweetness to cover that craving when you need it the most. For the price you cannot go wrong. I buy it by the can and once you are hooked on it you will too.
WW of Rome, NY
This was the first pipe tobacco I ever smoked and it still has a hold on me, I often revisit it. Though the flavor is good, it was very much improved after I put a pouch-full into a jar and let it sit in my dark closet for two months.
CJ of Silsbee, TX
Added SWRA to a order of tobacco just for fun, haven't had it since 1976. I now remember why I liked this so much back then. Burns great and tastes great right to the bottom of the bowl. Everyone should give this a try.
TG of Lemoore, CA
This is my favorite OTC blend and im not a aromatic fan. Just enough flavoring to add to the taste of the tobacco not drown it , burns very well,taste good and leaves no goop in your pipe. Smokeable out of pouch or tin , moisture just right. Pleasent room note.Can smoke all day no worry of bite. I prefer it in a MM Cob. If you would like to try a aromatic and a beginner i highly recommend this. Add a little perique to this and its really outstanding!
TW of Christiansburg, VA
A bit of a disappointment. It stores well and holds its moisture if you roll the pouch nice and tight. I am a dry but fast puffer, used the whole pouch taking each bowl to the very bottom (makes a beautiful clean ash - no gooey mess). It is hot and burns quickly (no bite). For any aromatic it is all about the flavor, the liquor flavor was not very sweet and has a moderately bitter aftertaste. I gave it a try and its just not for me.
JB of Ladonia, TX
Not bad, not bad at all for a pouch tobacco. Smells nice and it tastes okay. Not as good as some aromatics I've had.
