Sir Walter Raleigh - Aromatic 1.5oz
It’s really good..
Yeah, I was pretty upset about them ruining the SWR original, so I thought I’d try this one, and I’m kinda glad I did, it’s very close to the same flavors I think to the original, is just the flavors are really light. But if you really search for them and know what your looking for.. you might find them..
Sir Walter Raleigh - Regular 1.5oz
Not as good as it use-to be.
Where do I start? I remember my grandpa only use to smoke SWR when I was growing up, he passed away so I thought I’d try some to try to figure why he liked it so much, about 4 years ago, maybe longer it use to be like a cube cut, and it was really good, I’d go as far to say one of my favorites. Then about a year ago I thought ah what the heck I’ll get some more and I put it in my pipe and I got nothing but vinegar sour, I tried about 3 pipe fulls, thought it was bad and threw it out.. I was upset, they went and ruined it..well about 2 months ago I was reading online about how you have to age it apparently and let it dry out. I thought heck I got 6 bucks I’ll try it. I got some let it dry out, till most of the sour vinegar smell was gone, and I just today got to try it, I mean its reminiscent of what it use to be. But not quite there. I think maybe the (anise?) topping or casing is gone. What I tasted was nutty, kinda sweet, a little spice, not really any chocolate. (Your mileage may very) All in all it just not as good as it use to be..
