Sir Walter Raleigh Regular Pipe Tobacco

A never disappointing tobacco. The blends used to create a very pleasant experience with aroma and burn.

With all of the so-called boutique tobacco blends available today ... it's too easy to overlook this time-honored "humble" blend that has probably been the start for many for pipe smokers of days gone by. I bought this SWR a year ago along with a couple of other codger blends (Prince Albert & Carter Hall). I immediately opened the SWR and after performing the sniff test I loaded up a pipe for the first smoke. Not bad stuff, monochromatic and cool smoking as others have duly noted. Yet with plenty of other blends available, I then socked away the remainder of the pouch into a mason jar. I've been holding off smoking a new briar pipe that I picked up a few weeks ago as I've been undecided whether to use it for Flakes & VaPers or English & Balkan blends. Although I'm still undecided which direction to go with this particular pipe, I figured it was high time to begin the break-in process ... so I opted for some good old Burley. The SWR that I had trialed a year ago and then jarred away ... was the perfect medicine for breaking in this new pipe. Heck, I like SWR ... nothing complex here ... just a good old nutty-tasting Burley "Codger Blend" that delivers a cool & pleasantly flavorful smoke ... if one so desires it can easily qualify as an all-day smoke. Guess I'll just continue breaking in this pipe with SWR until I figure what else to use it for ... and if I can't ... well heck, I'll just stick with the SWR. No hoopla with this blend ... just good, clean, smooth, refreshing tobacco taste!

I like it, not every day, but now and then. I love burley.

My favorite over the counter blend. Simple and easy going. Great burley flavor. Priced right. A nice change from my English blends.

Great!

My favorite!
