that was the perfect pipe choice for the tobacco. moments like those are important. i know many of the thoughts that must have gone through your mind. i have done the same. to see you enjoy it brings me deep joy.
What a wonderful and sentimental video! I ended up with a lot of my grandpa's hand tools when he passed away. High quality stuff. I think about the radios he built with them and all of the people he talked to around the world... That generation was so incredibly bold and talented.
I remember hearing about a crystal radio that my grandfather built in the 50s. Such simple times! I wish I had experienced it! Thanks for sharing your grandfather’s memories. That’s the way we keep these alive.
Nice chat, my grandfather smoked Prince Albert as well. He is the reason I smoke a pipe today. I wished I had one of his pipes , so you are a lucky man to have one of your grandfather’s pipes. Have a great day.
Thanks buddy! They are special but the memories we have are even more special! I’m so glad I will see him again one day where we worship together once again
Good Afternoon 😊 Beautiful Pipe 😍 Good Codger Blend 😋 The Prince wants out 😂 Awesome Video👌🏽 Thanks for the chat and sharing a Pipe with me 🌬💨💨 Greetings From South Africa 🇿🇦
You could hydrate the whole thing if you used humidity packs instead of just water. Not to mention you should use distilled water. Spring waters and such have minerals and whatnot that can alter the flavor. Humidity packs are a great way to humidify without overdoing it.
My Grandfather smoke PA, at CHristmas would get the large keyed tin/tub. Occasionally I saw he had the Apple pouch tobacco. The older PA has a "sweet" or very distinct almost cologne (pleasant) note
Hey Robert, seeing you smoking that old tin of Prince Albert. I was fortunate to have smoked two tobaccos that had age on them. The first was at one of our pipe club BBQ we had the opportunity to crack open a tin of escudo that had 50yrs or age on it. Once we opened it and each smoked a bowl of it we were in awe as to what we could smoke that would top it. Well, at our pipe club BBQ in 2023 the same member brought another tin of escudo. This one dated back to 1959. Those of us in attendance enjoyed tobacco, albeit a tad dry, that was older than most of us in the room. It was still enjoyable to be able to smoke tobaccos that older pipe smokers enjoyed. Hope you enjoyed the remainder of your bowl. Enjoy your Tuesday. Cheers
Great video buddy! I get those Memories of my grandfather every time I smoke Amphora Full Aroma, I can see him now sitting in his chair loading his pipe then lighting it. The smell when we walked into the house after he lit up.
I know everything you are saying, my grandfather smoked nothing but Prince Albert and I can still smell the match being struck and the tobacco smell. Especially when he would lite up in the truck with the heat or a/c on and it would circulate. The smell of the house when I walked in the back door. I have alot of his pipes and pipe holders and old tools but I was not smart enuff to grab all the old cans of Prince Albert he had in the garage and I kick myself everyday for that.
Nothing like old memories but even more so when a scent or smell triggers it! My grandfather was my best man in my wedding and the greatest man I ever knew. Thanks for sharing your memories with me! Can’t wait to share a bowl with him someday! God bless Troy
@@enasdad My amily was on a family reunion in Reno,Nevada and my girl and I decided to get married while there, I was scared to death. My Grandpa and grandma were our best man and bridesmaid and signed the marriage certificate as witness's and it was in an old gas station turned into a wedding chappel. My grandpa danced a jigg outside on the sidewalk afterward and only did that twice in my life.Cheers
I know what you mean. My grandad smoked cigars and if I ever happen to smell my jacket after I smoke one myself it smells just like I remember he did. Glad you got to enjoy that also.
Exciting! I think the tax stamp should give you a date. You are spot on not to rehydrate the whole tin in one go. Moving stuff with your Grandfather, it is a big deal; history and all the emotions that go with it. Thank you for sharing with us.
The problem with rehydration is that you only put the moisture back but never the essential oils and the flammable oils where the aromas are. It will never taste like the maker invented. It will never taste like it did for people in 48.
I worked in a mom and pop grocery store in 1963. Every day, we would get a phone call asking " Do you have Prince Albert in a can?" If answered in the affirmative, the caller's response was " "You better let him out".
@EremiasRanwolf-h4w Gosh! I completely forgot about Sir Walter! He must have become comfortable with his fate. He has turned to snuff since 63. Hey Walt! You still in there?🥴
If that girl played field hockey in Syracuse, my brother or sister-in-law probably coached her or ref'ed her game. A tobacco after my own heart. Thank you for the video.
The joke’s not the same if you have Prince Albert in a tub. lol. I had some tobacco that I had in a closet for about 45 yrs. EA Carey. I thought it would be dust but it was some of the best I’ve had. Better than it was 45 yrs ago.
Wow! Unfortunately, my great grandfather passed away in 1974 and I was born in 1975 so I never got to meet him in person only through photographs and others memories.
Awesome find! I have a tin of Albert that should be 1960-1963, if the website source is accurate. I'm hoping it's smokeable, and very curious if it will be noticeably different from the modern stuff. Do you have any advice for opening/handling it to get best results?
You don’t need a DeLorean and plutonium to time travel. You just need a pipe and tobacco.
and a Boveda.
“1.21 Jiggawatts!!!!!!”
that was the perfect pipe choice for the tobacco.
moments like those are important. i know many of the thoughts that must have gone through your mind. i have done the same.
to see you enjoy it brings me deep joy.
I just wish I had enough to share with everybody. It was truly special and thank you for being a part of it.
New pipe smoker here. I thought I have old tobacco which is about 40yo but this is proper old. Glad you get to enjoy it.

Never too late! You could still make a radio.
A lovely video. Thank you for sharing the time, and the memories with us.
Glad you enjoyed it
You are letting Prince Albert out of the can! Good for you!!! LOL
All through the video I was thinking of that old joke, and it reminded me of Bart Simpson prank calling Moe's Tavern.
Nice chat, my grandfather smoked Prince Albert as well. He is the reason I smoke a pipe today. I wished I had one of his pipes , so you are a lucky man to have one of your grandfather’s pipes.
Have a great day.

Good Afternoon 😊 Beautiful Pipe 😍 Good Codger Blend 😋 The Prince wants out 😂 Awesome Video👌🏽 Thanks for the chat and sharing a Pipe with me 🌬💨💨 Greetings From South Africa 🇿🇦
Thanks, Yusuf!
That was the shape number for the WDC. Buddy….this made my heart sing. Thanks for making this video. It’s the reason I stick with piping. 😊
Yep. I think you were the first person I called when I found this tobacco a couple of years ago if I’m not mistaken.
Hey Pat, watching you smoke the codger blends is the reason I enjoy pipe smoking. Cheers
Sounds like an incredible blend from back in the day. Glad you got to enjoy the time travel buddy
Me too. I just wish everybody could experience it. I wish I had enough to send to all of y’all.
You could hydrate the whole thing if you used humidity packs instead of just water. Not to mention you should use distilled water. Spring waters and such have minerals and whatnot that can alter the flavor. Humidity packs are a great way to humidify without overdoing it.
Yes. I could use a Boveda! Great idea
Awesome video!! Made me start getting emotional. Sure do miss my grandpa too.
Wow. I wasn’t expecting this video to make me emotional. I can just imagine what it did for you.
Terrific video. May we all be remembered with as much love and fondness as you have for your grandfather.
What a special moment. Priceless…Time travel in a can.
I could not have put it better myself. What a thought. Time travel in a can.
@@enasdad smells do that for me too.
My Grandfather smoke PA, at CHristmas would get the large keyed tin/tub. Occasionally I saw he had the Apple pouch tobacco. The older PA has a "sweet" or very distinct almost cologne (pleasant) note
Definitely a sweeter smoke that today’s PA

My pleasure! Thank you for watching

Thanks for sharing the experience in video with me, buddy! Only two weeks until I go to LJ Peretti!!
Have fun there buddy!
Could almost taste it myself, nice memories for me as well.
Miss those old timers. Peace Bro☘️
Thanks. It really surprised me how great it was. Totally different that the current PA

It is amazing how many memories you can conjure up just by the sense of smell. Thank you so much for watching.
Prince Albert in a can? …….let him out 😂😂
Yeah, every time I see the tin I say that in my head😂
Pretty cool that the smell brought your memories to life. Pretty powerful. 😁👍👍

@EremiasRanwolf-h4w
Gosh! I completely forgot about Sir Walter!
He must have become comfortable with his fate.
He has turned to snuff since 63.
Hey Walt! You still in there?🥴
My oh my, that was a fine video there sir. Thank you!
Great video thanks for sharing have a great week my friend
Thank for being a part of this
Awesome video. I’d really love to find a vintage tin or tub of Prince Albert that’s full. PA is my favorite tobacco.
He is usually in a box... Anything like that exists around these parts these days?u remembering, and grandfathers are special.
Big fan of your music by the way!!
You should now get a pack of modern Prince Albert and compare it.
Great idea. Do a side by side!!
great find thank for sharing.
Thanks for being a part of such a special smoke. I wish I had enough to share with everybody.
@@enasdad I bet thats really cool
The pipe has a nice grain and color.
I had some 60-year-old Prince Albert once and it had a hint of how an old chest of drawers smells. I suppose it was from being in the unsealed tin. 😊😊
1947 , fascinating!
Yes it is! A once in a lifetime opportunity
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Tax stamp would give you a time frame
If that girl played field hockey in Syracuse, my brother or sister-in-law probably coached her or ref'ed her game. A tobacco after my own heart. Thank you for the video.
Do you Prince Albert in a can ?
Better let him out !
😂😂😂
Sound great, enjoy!

Well that’s interesting and cool at the same time.
And surprisingly, the smoke was smooth and flavorful
