    Retro

    Did they accidentally put Pall Mall light portions in my Retro can? From what I remember, Pall Mall seemed to taste just like this Retro, but maybe stronger.
    So if you liked the Pall Mall flavor, but the flavor seemed a little strong, this Retro might be for you.
    Good stuff.

    Retro White is one of my top 5, and I loved Pall Mall. So figures. I agree they are similar.

      Lucky Strike and Pall Mall are both made by F & L now, who also makes Retro so it's not surprising. Does Granit have a similar taste too?

        Granit's more General like. I'm sure there's a commonality, but it's fairly different from the other 2.

          Just wanted to give a thumbs up to Retro. I included a can in my last order. Classic tobacco taste without the extra flavorings. I almost prefer it over Pall Mall. (and it's cheaper too )

            Yeah, after spending a bunch of time lately with both, retro is definitely a bunch higher on my list than Pall Mall. It really has been my favorite of everything lately.

              I believe B.A.T acquired f & L. So technically b.a.t makes retro, granit, lucky strike, etc. Prior to this acquisition bat used f & L's manufacturing plant to produce lucky strike. FYI

              I agree granit, retro, lucky strike are all very good.

                Yummmmmmm!!!
                Retro is my favorite, most used, juicy portion out there. Oooops, were we talking about white portions? I think not.

                  They taste nearly identical to me. Pall Mall is good, but nothing special. Why pay for the "name brand" when you can buy Retro for a cheaper price?

                  By the way, does Granit Los taste similar to General Los? I'm tempted to try a few cans, since its significantly less expensive.

                    You should definitely throw a few cans of Granit los in your next order. I did and I wound up liking Granit better. Better price, better grind (in my opinion), better taste... Granit is quite nice. I don't use it too often these days, but I'll throw a few cans in my order when I want a good brand with a citrus/pepper flavor profile.
