I'm a sucker for old OTC's, especially out of production OTC's. They provide some history and the feeling of being in an earlier time. So when a pipe forum buddy offered this up in trade, I jumped at the chance for a 14 oz can. I smoked about 3 oz so far for this review.
The tub had been opened and I don't know what normal tin moisture was. This came fairly dry. I smoked it that way and also rehydrated some. Both versions produced similar results. The tin aroma was not of cookies but of tea. The flavor was less "aromatic" than I expected but was lightly flavored with something - I could not discern the flavoring. I'd call this mostly a non-aromatic. The room note was pleasant but not heavy. Overall this was a moderately flavorful blend that could be useful for when non-pipe folks are over. The main problem with this one was the tongue sizzle. It didn't bite per se, but it wasn't the most comfortable feeling. Overall, I'm glad I tried this and I am going to keep most of the rest of the 11 oz I have left, but I can't see this one having much of a following, even in its heyday. Worth a try if you can find some but don't expect a classic. Wish I could figure out how to tone down that bite, though. Obviously aging isn't the answer! 🙂

Excellent room note. But typical casing bite, and not much flavor in the pipe. Maybe it dried out? Doesn?t taste anything like a cookie jar. Very crumbly ribbon cut. B-

This is another hard to find old drugstore blend made up of Virginias and Burley is a crimp cut like Prince Albert. It's lightly flavored with something that smells like plain butter cookies. The room aroma is fantastic and smells like pastry baking. The blend bites a little but there's a decent amount of tobacco flavor to go with the cookie flavor. It's not bad, but there's better stuff (and easier to find stuff) out there...
