Briar Law's comments are spot on with my perceptions. I see no reason to smoke this unless flavor and character are obstacles to sense satisfaction. It must have been the original packaging of portraying models (i.e. attractive women by and large), not the little guy from Monopoly currently on the box, that helped sell this. But, hey, Model was popular when claro (green wrapped shade) cigars were vastly preferred and folks smoked everyday and perhaps throughout the day.

An old time burley, without much to recommend it. It isn't bad. It's just *there*. Just a little too bland for my tastes.

If this was the best selling tobacco in America at one time all I can say is ignorance is bliss if, in fact, this is one and the same blend as smoked in those prior times. I could not smoke more than a quarter of a bowl in several different pipes on different days before my taste buds told me to throw this away. I did. I did not find it harsh as previously noted, just downright and outright distasteful. This, with the exception of Mixture 79, is the worst tobacco I have ever smoked. As others have noted, the HOW retro (largely burley) blends are much the same except for the toppings although some do contain a modicum, and I do mean modicum, of condiment tobacco(s). The best HOW retro blends, in my opinion, are Country Doctor and Union Leader.
I rate this tobacco 0.0 out of 10.

I tried to give this my best shot but I kept getting a flavor/smell of burnt pine needles which would switch to a Winston type flavor/smell. Plan to give this away to anyone who rolls their own. This was just very bad to my taste.

Sometimes the old stuff is just plain old. I wanted to like this for the sake of Nostalgia but found it bitter and bland. Sort of like cigarette tobacco.
Hate to be harsh but I did not like this.
