Captain Black - Dark 1.5oz
Good
This is a smooth black cavendish that is really nice on the tongue. It tastes sweet, a bit earthy and is overall an enjoyable smoke. It’s not an extraordinarily complex tobacco, but this is one that has been tested by time. I enjoy smoking it a whole lot. And it’s nice to have some cheaper and less complex tobaccos for when I’m up and doing things and less worried about the flavor.

My Favorite Blend
I have been smoking this for a couple of months now. I have to say, I am impressed with the complexity. This is a truly wonderful VA/Per. The touch of Black Cavendish excites the palate. The smoke almost dances on your tongue. First, I'll start with the coins. They look exciting. Visually, they are really fun to bring around non-smokers for their beauty. They rub out easily and I have found that these coins keep moisture well. The "tin note" is nice, sort of fruity and deep. Lighting is very easy and it stays lit with little effort. I have smoked this in all sorts of pipes from thin and tall bowls to shallow and wide. Every time, I can expect a nice smoke. all the way through. The room note is also pleasant. I've had a non-smoker ask to hit it because he just couldn't resist after smelling it. The flavors mix well and I could smoke bowl after bowl. I have cellared a pound and bought more for everyday smoking.

Terrible, just terrible
By far my least favorite tobacco that I've ever smoked. I bought this looking for an aromatic that has complexity, but this has none. First off, you get hit with an overwhelming citrus note that is anything but pleasant. Then comes the burn. This thing smokes hot, tastes like chemicals, and will be sure to sear your mouth. There are no good things about this tobacco. It belongs in the trash. When I got to the second half of the bowl, all I could taste was ash and chemicals. Not a nice experience.

Really good smoke, will be buying more
I really liked this blend. I smoked it once, in the car on a road trip. The maple and earthy tones made for a nice blend. It is not overwhelming, which is nice. I often find aromatics tasting like chemicals, but this one was a clean and cool smoke. I plan on using this as my regular car tobacco as it is not overwhelmingly smokey and has a nice room note. Aromatics are often not very complex and lack depth, but this one met my standards well. It is a fun smoke, but not one of my top favorites. That may change over time

Highly recommended
These fit on all sorts of pipes. As someone who likes to bite, these really protect my pipes.

Perfect Smoke
This is truly a perique lover's dream. It being heavy on the perique may seem overwhelming for some, but it is approachable to new smokers. Good mild to medium nicotine, room note, and strength.

Hot Damn! This is Great!
This tobacco is unbelievable! It is a new favorite of mine. Upon initial light, it is very latakia forward, but as you smoke it, the turkish/oriental shines through and the latakia becomes more mild. This is an easy smoke with lots of sweet, fruity, nutty flavors. When I want to smoke an English blend, I often fear to do so around non-smokers because of the somewhat terrible room note. Because this is low in lat and allows the VA/oriental to shine through, I'm happy to smoke this anythime, anywhere, around anyone.

Really great!
This is a wonderful, earthy burley. As someone who is fairly new to burleys, this is very approachable. There is a mild sweetness that is really enjoyable, and you really do get the good "bite" of burley tobacco. I smoked this in a cob, which allowed the leaf to shine through. This tobacco has nutty notes that would make it a wonderful fall smoke. On a cold, rainy day in western NC, this is super enjoyable.
Cornell & Diehl - Derringer
Decent Smoke, trustworthy, and true.
Like the name suggests, the Derringer is quality, and in a pinch, exactly what you would like at your side. I smoked this in a cob and I have to say; this will not impress any tobacco fanatics, but it is a solid smoke. I quite enjoyed how this straight Virginia allowed the taste of premium tobacco to shine through. The leaf quality is expected with C&D. I will be smoking plenty more. This is something I would take camping or on a trip where my selection is limited and I want something comfortable for all occasions. The room note is fine, nothing to write home about (as it isn't an aromatic).

A solid one
This aromatic tobacco was pretty good. Lots of notes of vanilla. It’s a pretty fun smoke, and if you know how to properly smoke an automatic, it doesn’t get very hot. After smoking this for another few months. I move from 4.5 stars to 3.5. It is still good, but I think this is more accurate. It is a bit too cased for my palate. There are better smokes out there.
Savinelli - Brunello Flake 100g
Wonderful
Quite possibly my favorite tobacco. This was my introduction to non-aromatic tobacco. Lots of herbal notes. Another note that I can’t quite get my finger on. Maybe raisins, figs, or dried fruit. Similar to how I remember panettone from my childhood. Smokes beautifully.
