[QUOTE="Swede, post: 575250, member: 5139"] Well, I've recently listened to a Russ Ouelette YT interview on tobacco types, and he mentioned that to get an idea of the taste of a burley try either Granger or Velvet because they were pretty much straight tobacco. I don't remember his exact words, but that's how I took it, so began reading on these two codger pipe tobaccos. I kind of lean toward Prince Albert at this time, but open to trying new codgers. I had a 5 year old remnant of an ounce of Granger bulk from 4noggins, and recently finished that. Thing is I don't recall any major impression other than it was a good smoke. In trying to look into Velvet, I came across a mention of a video by a guy going by "The Artful Codger" that did one on the history of Velvet, but I can't find the video on YT or through a Google search. Anybody remember this, and maybe have a link? Also, I've read BoB posts on Granger through a search, and noticed it pops up a lot in the "What are you smoking" thread, so anybody have any thoughts on why you like Granger, especially over Velvet? In looking at them on the Tobacco Reviews site, I see they are both owned by Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG), but Velvet is blended by Lane while Granger by STG. Swede [/QUOTE]
