Now before you click the backspace tab on this thread, you really should give it a look-see and then, ultimately decide for yourself about this age-old, time-tested tobacco.
Prince Albert is a tobacco that your Granddad and Dad probably smoked if they smoked a pipe for any length of time. It's been around since 1907 and is today one of the top selling pipe tobaccos in the United States. Since 1987, it's been produced by John Middleton Company. It is a tobacco I enjoy daily, as do many Pipers.
A primarily Burly-based blend, it's ribbon-cut and air-cured with a slight added flavor I just can't seem to find a name for. It's pure pleasure for the true Burley lover and is especially good in a corncob pipe. That's not to say your best briars can't get in on the action as well.
The mild, nutty essence and ease of burning will make this a true gem for the new smoker as well as the more experienced Pipers. It has a pleasant room note and a nice nicotine presence that a smoker should enjoy. The price is cheap while the product you'll receive is not. Many pipe smokers are quick to overlook Prince Albert and write it off as being too inferior for their tastes, but if asked outright, many have never even tried it for themselves.
It ages extremely well, is one of the most consistent blends on the market, and offers the "budget-minded" smoker (like myself) a good smoke at a great price. It can be found nearly everywhere from the local gas station or convenience store to the super market to department stores as well as at your local and internet vendors.
For the pipe smoker who hasn't tried Prince Albert, you are missing out. You deserve it to yourself to try it. I'd bet a dollar to doughnuts that you'll find that you'll agree with all of the above. And if the unthinkable does happen and you find it's just not to your liking, I'm positive you won't have a hard time finding someone who does agree.
Hope this helps... Pleasant Piping!
