I always say this in regards to any aromatic ....... if teh flavoring doesnt gell with you , it would be hopeless . If the flavouring is to your enjoyment , theres a damn good chance you will like SWRA

That's a pretty forcefully expressed claim, there.Fr_Tom wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 9:51 amI am claiming you won't regret it.Preacher1611 wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 9:20 am OK, OK! After Ruff's review I was ready to buy SWRA with my next Pipes & Cigars .com order... NOW, Whalehead King's two posts have basically caused me to absolutely HAVE to buy a pouch and try SWRA this payday. I've tried SWR and liked it but not the SWRA, so hopefully the B&M has it...
If Ruff and I haven't convinced anybody, well, the verdict is now decisively in, in four simple words (five syllables, total): "You won't regret it." BOOM!
You can't get any more succinct a recommendation than that. Fr. Tom knows that of which he speaks. Not to distract you too much from the message with an accompanying video, but I think we just witnessed a Mic Drop!!!
Of course, the mic drop we witnessed in favor os SWRA was more Fr. Tom-style than Asian boy band stylings. It was a bit more understated and more effective for that. A tip of my fedora to SWRA. A tip of my fedora to Fr. Tom.

I truly dig both SWR and SWRA. It's one of the few aro / semi aro blends that the wife and I both enjoy while I'm smoking it. I want to put a splash of deer tongue in with some SWR regular as soon as I open my next pouch. I think it could easily become a favorite

Rehydrate . Its better if fresh from a good pouch butt rehydrating doesn’t ruin it , for sure . The tubs are always perfect ... I mean spot on perfection ... but no one want to " sample a tub " .... lol . I hate when I get a pouch thats crispySouthern Appalachia wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 5:49 pm Welp just bought a pouch of SWRA from ingles. Dry as a bone. Worth it to try and rehydrate or write this one off as a loss?

If I hadn't got a great deal on the pouches, I'd totally have grabbed a sample tub. I may not be right in the headRuffinogold wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 7:59 pmRehydrate .

So... I didn't go to the B&M. I ended up doing a P&C order so's that I could get some other stuff as well. Bought a pouch of SWRA and I have to say... it was worth it! Fr_Tom was right; I do not regret it! I'll definitely be buying this again, possibly even a tub next time. Ordered on Thurs. 05/17 and it showed up by Mon. 05/21 Smoked the whole pouch last week while on vacation, finished the last bowl last night. I will remark that I smoked a bowl of Prince Albert after the last of the SWRA and dang it it was good! That little bit of ghosting made for a great smoke! (Didn't have the ghosting in any pipe I used except my no-name prince.) Great stuff, highly recommend!
