taste the same in all pipes. For this reason, I recommend trying Exclusive in a number of your pipes; if you have them. (*Original Rating/Review*) What I have recently received is very nice and could end up being a regular; but it is freshly made. I have one unopened 2 oz tin, I received in early '24 (likely produced in the second half of '23) and this recently ordered 16 oz (dated Mar. 25, 2026); which I am currently trying out. This rating is based on the 16 oz dated: Mar. '26. Tobacco Reviews (TR) has an average rating for this at 2.97/4; equivalent to 3.75/5. The TR comments all seem to do a lot of comparisons of this to other blends. They can't seem to help themselves. And there's an overuse of "I taste blah blah blah?" in their comments. But I don't eat "figs, plums, manure, grass, hay, stewed fruit, raisin bread, mushroom," and more; not on the regular anyway. So I am not going to say it tastes like any of those. And what does "musty, woodsy, dark, or muddy" even taste like? So anyhow, I give it an initial rating of 4.5★ for being very nice; between good and excellent. It tempts me to open the one 2 oz tin, I have, that is over two years aged. But I'll refrain for now. I love the flavor of this blend, the excitement I get when tasting every puff, and that it isn't overpowering in any way. I would not have expected it to be a VaPer w/Cav though. So I can see why so many might be comparing it to other VaPer's. But I don't buy tobacco to taste like others. If I enjoy another...I'll just buy the other. What I want is to try unfamiliar-to-me blends. To see what each has to offer, on its own; separate and uniquely from all others. Exclusive fits that to a 'T'. Will probably be upgrading my rating to 5.0★ real soon...it's just so good!...Read More

It was just a strong rich complex flavor. Not something for everyday, and the nic hit was very present. It's very much worth a try, though I expect it won't be for everyone.
Also, it wants to bite. It's not an absentminded smoke, but more of a meditation on itself.
Really glad I stashed some away....Read More

Needed to add red Virginia ribbon to the ounce sample I had purchased just to be able to smoke it.
Otherwise without it, it tastes bitter.
No thanks.

ons that span from tan to reddish brown.
Sampled in a MM Missouri Pride.
I never thought of drinking a glass of sweet tea with a tablespoon of black pepper in it - but I might now - because this is delicious.
Unabashedly proud perique that you feel in the nose almost like wasabi initially that transforms to the sweet hay and tangy Virginia.
Is it VaPer , or PerVa if the Perique is the most dominant component?
No matter what you call it , Exclusive delivers a rather neat full flavor of spicy sweet goodness.
I found it very enjoyable- and the Virginia tang was just enough to me to identify it as quality red Virginia.
This is a blend with a strong aroma from the bag that delivers on taste.
I’d be really curious to see two variants of this:
1) I’d like to have it pressed dense and sliced into flakes and 2) juuuuuust a pinch of Oriental to span the divide.
Both of those are folly though - this mix does not need fixing - it is perfect as it arrives.
My rating :5
