[QUOTE="bent bulldog, post: 383579, member: 3484"] Thank you all for the helpful input. The conclusion I draw from your comments is that most of you are in the same boat as me concerning the composition of Old Gowrie. I probably should have clarified the fact that the Old Gowrie from "back in the day" for me was between 1972 and 1985 when I worked and owned part of a Tinderbox on the west side of Portland, Oregon. In those days it was still created in Perth and yes, the fact is that Rattrays used nicely aged tobaccos right up front. Candidly, if you were to tell those of us in the trade in those days that you were going to age pipe tobacco to make it better we would have been, as the British say, gobsmacked at the notion. The blends such as Old Gowrie were nicely aged before they hit our store shelves. So my theory is that to make the current version of OG as flavorful as the original the current blenders have added perique to OG whereas the original Perth created Virginia was nothing but well aged Virginia. So if you are not fond of Perique, beware of the current crop of OG. It definitely as a good measure of that condimental in it. [/QUOTE]
