Many looking for a decent cheap smoke will eventually run into this tobacco. I found it in what is primarily a cigarette store. The pouch aroma is pleasant but slightly flat/dull. Upon lighting the tobacco, you can instantly taste the bitterness of the blend. After several minutes the bitterness of the tobacco starts to be a little overwhelming and unpleasant. I chose not to finish my bowl of it.

I found a pouch of this and the red label stuff in my cellar. I feel the same way about this as I do the red label pouch version, except with more conviction. -See my review of the red label blend.
Not recommended for use as smoking tobacco. If might be useful powdered and applied as a natural insecticide dust on your tomato plants. If you don't have a garden, I recommend using it as kindling for starting a fire. Avoid the smoke.

I'm not a big "review" guy, but after stopping at a remote Rt.66 gas station and finding a small pouch of Red Cap Blend No.7 as my only option, I felt that giving a review was my obligation to society. I will however try to keep it short and sweet. So here goes...
In my humble opinion regarding Red Cap Blend No.7, the only way that you're actually going to enjoy it is by not buying it or attempting to smoke it. The taste can be compared to licking an ashtray-flavored 9 volt battery. It bites the tongue like a brand new Energizer, and tastes just like an old ashtray with a slight undertone of vomit. It would be well suited as a gag gift, or as other reviewers noted, RYO if you're in prison. But pipe tobacco it ain't. Don't do it, even if it's your only option. You'll be glad you didn't.
I cringe every time I think about how rancid blends 1-6 must have been before they settled on marketing this one.

This is the winner so far for worst pipe tobacco ever. If curiosity gets the best of you and you feel you must try it. I suggest buying one of those $2 cobbs for the task. It would be a crime to grace a fine pipe with this stuff.

Bought this one and it's brother at the same time. Harsh. I started to get some bite out of this one. Must be mostly Virginia in this. I couldn't detect any of the cavendish it's suppose to have. It's not for me.
If you're broke buy a cheap pack of cigarettes and break them up and put it in your pipe. It will taste better.

The quest for the best cheap smoke continues. The pouch aroma is great! Smells like good Turkish blend tobacco. Moisture content perfect. Burns good. Bitter to me. YUK! All the way through. Tastes bad. Didn't expect much for $0.95/pouch, so not greatly disappointed. Really nice not to have 12oz of this stuff. Lol. Prince Albert Choice Blend smokes better.
