I liked the Borkum Riff pipe tobacco, but when cash was scarce, a 5 pack of White Owl
A friend of mine I use to work with smoked swishers until he found a chicken feather in one as it left a foul odor in his mouth and surrounding air. I really enjoyed my dads pipe tobacco smell on a cold winter night by the fireplace, Captain Black was his choice! Brings back a lot of memories when I smell a tobacco pipe nowadays.

We used to crank call the local drugstore and ask if they had Prince Edward in a can. When they responded yes we would bust laughing, "let em out!"

Captain Black was a good blend. I quit smoking when I was around 26.

My dad smoked a pipe. It was mixture # 79. Dad had his pipe where ever he went. Actually burned a hole in his pocket a few times. Well there we were, Grand Dad, Dad, and myself ready to fish a low elevation foot hill pond for pan fish. Nothing better than a good fish fry back in the day. Sadly the pond had a weed line that went out a good 25 feet. Doggonit Dad was determined to bring home the bacon! Not a soul on the pond other than us, so Dad strips down totally naked and wades out to the edge of the weeds. Before long he's catching em hand over fist, throwing the nicer ones back on the where we would round them and clean them. There he was, in his element, fly fishing with great success and smoking his pipe. In the middle of gutting a Bluegill my Grand Dad turns to me and states " My gosh, your Dad is wearing nothing but his pipe!" My 5 year old self thought that was hilarious. I giggled about it all day long. I can still recognize the fragrance of that blend if someone is smoking it in the area and the fishing memories come back like they were yesterday,

The original King Edward tobacco and cigars were made by Swisher International- the same company that made Swisher Sweets...
My dad smoked Prince Albert from time to time, even rolled his own. Prince Albert was an actual prince who took the name of King Edward when he became king.

its a good 20 minute smoke and a good 4-1/2inch X 34 pleasure to enjoy while waiting on the fish to bite.
