I recently enjoyed a smoke with a friend of mine who used to work at a Tinderbox and we discussed some of their old blends, including Lamplighter. So, I grabbed an old tobacco taste diary I used to keep and will cut/paste word for word what my impressions were when I smoked my first little round tin of Lamplighter in 1978:
"Very sweet and mild with a hint of spice of some sort. Some strength when the smoke is inhaled or blown through the nose. Easy to keep lit and cakes my pipes fast."
I have not tried Lamplighter since the late 1970's, perhaps its time to hunt down some and try it again.

Along with Captain Spice, Norse Gold, and Skilling, I would occasionally reach for Lamplighter from the Tinderbox. As I recall, it had a very subtle spice-like flavor which was quite enjoyable at the time. Captain Spice was always my favorite TB blend and was my number one tobacco for a good many years before branching out and enjoying more fuller tasting tobacco. Actually, if it wasn't for the fact that my local TB closed its doors well over 20 years ago, I would still on occasion reach for those great TB blends from my early piper days. A solid 3 stars.

I've been pipe smoking for a few months now, and I've tried 21 different blends, ranging from simple drug store aromatics to complex English blends. I picked this up as to sample when I purchased a couple new pipes from Tinder Box in Atlanta, GA recently. I've smoked three bowls and I have to say this is a very strange blend for me, because there are parts I do like, and parts I definitely do not.
The aroma from the jar (believe it or not) turns my stomach a little. It almost knocks you over with a pungent smell of Worcestershire sauce. It leaves my pipe smelling very strongly afterwards, even after airing out, and after smoking other blends, there's still a bit of a lingering odor from this blend.
The sample I obtained was very dry, almost to the point of crumbling. The first thing I did was moisten it by placing a damp paper towel in the bag for about four hours, which softened it just a little. It didn't seem to pack well, perhaps because it was still too dry, but I was pleasantly surprised when I lit up.
It took a few bowls to really appreciate this blend, and I notice subtle hints of pine in the room note, which I absolutely love. The smoke and flavor reminds me of a camp fire in the fall. Pleasant, a little smokey, but overall very relaxing and enjoyable smoke for sitting on the front porch watching the sun rise first thing in the morning.
This one probably won't make my regular rotation, but it's definitely worth trying an ounce, and I'll probably keep a little on hand for the occassional change of pace.
