Thank you Steve for checking around on this. That seems like the best price I've seen so far.

DR, I've never tried Mix 79. It's not one of your favorites I take it Question

Codger, what does it say on the tin in your picture? I can't make it out ... looks like Granger??

It's an old Granger ad. It says - "The only pipe smoker who does not like it..is the one who never tried it."

i tried a poiuch of granger some time ago after reading several good reviews. in some of the reviews there is mention of an almost plastic taste about half way through the bowl, well sure enough about the middle of the pipe i got it and didn't like it. tried it again after a couple of days and got the same thing. i would try a few pouches before buying a whole tin. good luck, ahgar

I was wondering about that ahgar. I had read the same things. Some mentioned it and some didn't even seem to notice it. I guess sometimes these sort of things can be kind of subjective??

I've thought about the taste issue and have been trying to remember my dad or granddad mentioning it. I can't recall them having any issues with it. I kind of don't think they'd have kept on smoking it if it had. But, back in those days I don't know what kind of selections they had to choose from. I do know my dad smoked half & half too and liked it. I'm not sure if he favored one over the other though. I wish he was alive to ask him.

i've tried a few of the old time brands, PA, CH, and the Granger was the only one that i didn't like. guess i might need to try another pouch to see if i just got a bad one. seems to have a lot of fans. one thing about tobacco it is all subjective, a matter of taste.
