That's interesting Joe.Those are still in production if I recall correctly.
I bought one in Gettysburg at Sutler's Row and tasted nothing like what you described.
It tasted very wood smokey,if that makes any sense.

No, not even close. Old, though. About like me.

They still are being made, and the box doesn't seem to have changed over the years. They're about a buck apiece now, though; did some digging and found a box of 50 for $54. Machine-made and manufactured with the same crap they use to make cigarettes.

The factory is one of the more interesting old buildings in downtown Wheeling. (You can glimpse it as you drive thru town on I-70.There are walkways several stories up that connect the building to what once must have been company housing. I think you can sign up to tour it during one of the town's annual historical festivals. Otherwise though they don't seem to be interested in even chatting with visitors who might wander in.

I got a walkthrough once while the bosses were at lunch...but don't tell anybody. Pretty neat place, at the time some of the rolling tables (for handmades of the distant past) and rolling machines (more recently in use but not lately) were still there.

All they were doing with the building then--about eight years ago--was storage for some of the machine made sticks the parent company produces elsewhere. Oh, and giving a very grumpy boss man a nice old office.
