Prince Albert Original Pipe Tobacco - 14oz Canister

What is Prince Albert Original Pipe Tobacco?

Prince Albert Original Pipe Tobacco is a legendary American Burley blend known for its smooth, cool-burning characteristics and iconic 14oz canister. Since its introduction in 1907, it has served as the industry standard for "codger blends," offering a consistent, all-day smoking experience with a mellow pH balance that eliminates tongue bite.

The Heritage of Prince Albert Smoking Tobacco

For over 115 years, prince albert tobacco has defined traditional American blending. Originally launched by the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company and now stewarded by John Middleton, this blend revolutionized the market with its "crimp cut" process. This specific cut was engineered to stay lit more easily and burn more evenly than the rough flakes of the early 20th century.
