This was one of the first tobaccos I used in a pipe when in college, and I liked it very much. Since I have moved on in my preferences in pipe tobaccos, I had not tried it for quite awhile, so I purchased a pouch recently at the local drugstore, and came home with anticipation of reconnecting with an old friend. Well, the tobacco was drugstore stale, and was a great disappointment. It did not seem to be the old quality I had enjoyed so much....burnt hot, and not much taste. Maybe I had moved on!
