Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic Pipe Tobacco

When I first got into the hobby of pipe smoking I wanted a really sweet tasting and smelling aromatic. I went through the motions did a lot of research and got advice from an awesome guy named Ben from tobaccopipes.com. Now, I come to love the Lane 1-Q and BCA mixture but I’ve been noticing that I just can’t take that much of an aromatic all day every day. I didn’t want to be one of those guys to turn to an OTC LOL! I saw a lot of reviews on Sir Walter Raleigh aromatic and I took a chance and bought a tub of it. I liked the smell of it when I first opened the tub, it was sweet and sugary. The taste was great, but the room note was not what I expected from reading the other reviews. I even emailed my tobacco advisor Ben and said I wanted something sweeter smelling. It wasn’t until I lit the pipe one day in the car, had to run into the store and when I came back in the car the smell was phenomenal! It was that classic (grandpop) pipey smell I was looking for! It took a while for me to catch it but I finally got it. Now, I am still new to this hobby and I’m going to continue to bug my buddy Ben for advice but I will always keep a tub of this classic no-nonsense relaxing tobacco on hand. I smoked this in my briars and my cobs. I find that it smokes better in my Dr. Grabows, it is like those two items were meant for each other.
