This might be a good tobacco if it weren't for the mass amount of PG in it. It's soaked in the stuff. I've been leaving it in an open bag out in the sun every day and it is starting to get better. This wet stuff always bites me no matter how slow I smoke it. I'm going to just let it sit in a mason jar for a long time after I dry it out some more. I may have to use this for blending instead of smoking it straight. There's just no reason for me to ever buy this again considering how inexpensive Prince Albert is. I just wanted to try it as that's part of the fun of the pipe hobby. I love trying the different kinds of tobacco just for the fun of it.

Simply put, it's burley with what would be just a very light touch of flavoring that gives it a somewhat spicy note. It is also marketed at Walgreens as "Blender's Gold Golden Burley".
If it weren't for the extreme amounts of humectant used in it's processing, it would be a decent aromatic for the price.
I'm leaving the lid off of the humidor and we'll see where that takes it.

This is one of the most terrible tobaccos ever to grace a pipe of mine.
It all happened on Christmas morning when I received a new Peterson under the tree from Mrs. Claus. I was visiting my mother and father, some miles away from my home, and was anxious to try out the new pipe.
CVS, being the only shop opened, did not have anything that sounded remotely pleasant. I couldn't even find Prince Albert. Much to the annoyance of the clerk I stood across-counter for 15 minutes trying to decide on a tobacco. Gold burley was the pick.
Hey, I thought. Prince Albert is gold and burleyish!
How wrong I was!
This gooped up my pipe, robbed me of a little Christmas cheer in my heart. Fortunately, the birth of my son, Loki, had occurred one month before Christmas. It took me just a quick glimpse at him and my cheer was restored a hundredfold!

While I enjoy a good Burley blend, and even a straight Burley, this stuff is not my cup of tea. I did want to like it, owing to the nice reviews it has received, and tried it in a variety of pipes. The flavoring agent is simply too sweet for my taste, and I found it cloying.
I much prefer Prince Albert in the line of inexpensive Burleys.
