$1 STG coupon burning a hole in my pocket

So I got a couple of those pouch of tobacco for $1 from STG for signing up to their website. I've never had any of these before, and I know OTC blends get mixed reviews at best. Any opinions on which are the least awful? I'm leaning towards SWR and Half & Half. They seem safest.

I recommend the SWR Aromatic blend. I used my coupons on some and really like it. It's not goopy and has good tobacco flavor.

Thanks, I'll see if they have that one. Didn't realize I could use it for blends not on the coupon letter. What kind of topping is it?

Ok I'm stupid,,,STG ?

Thank you...some good reading on their pages.

I like Half & Half and hear good things about SWR. Would try Velvet but never saw any in a store.

Velvet is my favorite OTC- but sometimes it is hard to come by in the stores. :(

I guess I could try the cigar shop that also sells tobacco, but I feel a little cheesy using these coupons at mom-and-pop b&m as opposed to Walgreen's. Then again, I could always buy something else while I'm there....!

Interesting how all these blends have such radically opposing reviews on tobaccoreviews.com.

Back in the late fifties or early sixties I smoked some velvet and I remember it as being similar to PA, but that was a long time ago. It cost a dime for a two ounce pocket tin.

So after 2 Walgreens which only had Capt. Black, and a Sav-On which had nothing, I finally found a packet of Half & Half at a local grocery store.... and when I got it home and opened it, it was totally moldy! Green fuzz and all. I guess with CVS gone it's hard to find even drug store tobacco these days.

Those tobaccos are fairly easy to find around these parts. The fact that you used it, leads me to believe they'll send more in the future.

If you care to pursue it, contact STG group about it with an email, letter or call. They will send you a bunch of coupons to make up for your inconvenience.

If I could find their products anywhere I might do that :( I guess I will take it back to the store, though.
