The three reviews on TR gave the Sutliff Match good reviews for being close to the original and HoW versions. Unfortunately they no longer produce it. If it were still available, I would certainly give it a try. These old blends are intriguing.

The maple topping in Union Leader must have been quite mild, certainly much milder than the other Maple-topped blends which I have steadfastly avoided. I do recall that I tried it back in the Lorillard days and didn't find it to be anything special.

Yes. As I mentioned, it was no more than a “whiff”. The Burley was good, especially for the price. Same league as Edgeworth? No.
When we talk about classic blends with maple, there are a couple coming down the line in several weeks.
I go to lots of antique shops and look at many different tobacco advertisements and tins. Union Leader and Prince Albert are the overall leaders with Edgeworth Ready Rub a close third. But Union Leader certainly was popular once upon a time. This thread has gotten me curious about these old blends. Which is the point of advertisements I guess.

I often hold my pipes just like that!

Seems they always stress “well kept pipe”.

This got me thinking. Both sets of grandparents (from the Greatest Generation) and the grandparents of many of my friends at the time, it was almost always the woman doing the shopping for almost everything. While granddad was working, it was grandma out keeping the pantry full. So it makes sense that SWR seems to be courting her dollar as much as his. I can really see the whole "If he's going to smoke a pipe, get him this. It'll smell better" appealing to her as much as him.
Good observation.

This evening after dinner I packed the Stanwell billiard with Carter Hall and had a pleasant 30-minute smoke. I believe I'm getting the hang of sipping at these codger blends without getting tongue bite.
