Seattle Pipe Club - Plum Pudding Toro
A nice mix
Even burning, smooth tasting and pleasant smoking experience. As a Pipe guy who's been getting more into cigars this was a nice treat. I will be buying more

ADVentura - The Royal Return: King's Gold Toro
Bland, bland and more bland.
Not much to say other than its so bland. I lit this with a cedar strip and smoked it dry, no water, no coffee, no whiskey. Overall an even burning stick, but bland. The start of the smoke was peppery, then it turned into a bland mess, nothing stood out, it was just a big ole mess of nothing flavor. I was very excited to try this but it ended in dissapointment. I would never buy one again.

Cobblestone - Cafe Black Coffee 1.5oz
Bland, but not too terrible.
It had a great tin note when I first opened it, which set my expectations high. It's quite moist, so it does require some drying time. The start of the bowl was decent, though not particularly impressive, and I could faintly taste a hint of coffee. By the end of the bowl, the flavor became very bland, almost tasteless. I’ll probably mix it with something that needs a bit of mellowing or extra moisture, as I’m not interested in smoking it on its own again.

Samuel Gawith - Fire Dance Flake 50g
Nice flake great flavor
This is a thick quality flake with an amazing tin note. The berry topping poems through in a very natural way that's just right. Leave it out for around 30 mins though or you will have a tough time keeping it lit. Once you get it charred and going it requires very little relights, and has an amazing flavor. The berry really shines at the top of the bowl then mellows out a bit, that's the vanilla comes through. By the bottom of the bowl I had a very subtle flavor of blackberries on vanilla ice cream.

Cornell & Diehl - Irish Blessing 2oz
Love this blend
This is a really great blend that smokes well right out of the tin. It's got great notes of irish cream and Vanilla. It's an easy smoke with no tongue bite. I'd smoke this all day if I could.

Lane Limited - BCA
Wasn't sure I'd enjoy it.
So wasn't sure if I'd enjoy a straight Cavendish. Man, I was wrong. While not complex smoke it was very pleasant and smooth. Makes a great morning sipper while sipping on my favorite Earl Grey. It stayed lit right out of the bag with no relights needed and had no tongue bite. I'll be buying more of of this soon.

Tampers & Tools - Peterson Tamper - Pewter Thinking Man
Love this tamper
I love this tamper but buyer be warned. It's soft and will bend if dropped. I snapped my first one in half on accident as I was trying to bend it back to shape.

Mac Baren - Vanilla Roll Cake 3.5oz
Good Vanilla Tobacco
So the room note is quite amazing but I'm not getting much vanilla as I smoke it. For the money the Mac Aren't Vanilla custard is a better value as it has more flavor.

Cornell & Diehl - Sansepolcro 2oz
Great slow smoking tobacco
I'm normally an aromatic guy but bought this as I was intrigued. Glad I bought six tins. Lol. I will be slowly smoking through this and will cellar the rest. It is great stuff.

Sutliff - Dark and Silky 1.5oz
Wow wow wow!
What an amazing chocolate tobbaco. Smells and taste like cupcakes. I will be buying more of this.

Sutliff - Maple Street 1.5oz
Just another sweet aromatic
While I don't taste or smell Maple it is a pleasant smoke. Sweet, but no overpowering. It has a great room note and smokes down into a nice gray ash with little to no goop left over.

Perdomo - Humidified Bag Reserve 10th Anniversary Champagne Fresh Pack (4 Pack)
I can't keep these around
I have smoked some of the best brands from Cuba, but I prefer this cigar. First off you can get it easily, Secondly I have yet to have a bad one. I hand these out all the time to my friends and they all rant and rave about them. The 4 pack is also nice if you're traveling as it keeps them nice and fresh.

Alec Bradley - Filthy Hooligan Shamrock
Good cigar.
This is ancient cigar, nothing to rant and rave about but overall a great smoke. The Black Market version for this company is my go to from this brand.

Alec Bradley - Filthy Hooligan Barber Pole
Greta smoking cigar
I was a bit skeptical as I thought this cigar was bit crazy looking. I was wrong. Great medium to mild flavor. And a nice draw. I'd buy these again.

Mac Baren - Vanilla Cream 3.5oz
Madly in love with stuff
This has to be my favorite vanilla by far. It's sweet, cool smoking and wonderful to everyone else around me.

Tobacco Jars - Savinelli Large Antique Ceramic Tobacco Jar with Pipes
Pretty jar and that's about it
This jar leaves much to be desired. The seal sucks and does not keep moisture from getting out even with me constantly putting distilled water in the sponge on top.

Tampers & Tools - Larry Blackett Tamper - Pewter Thor's Hammer
Very nice heavy tamper
This is a well made tamper that has a bit of heft to it. I find in my bigger bowl pipes it has just the right amount of weight to tamp the second layer of tobbaco for a nice even draw. Plus it looks nice on my shelf.

Mac Baren - Vanilla Cream 16oz
Nice cool burning tobbaco.
This is a nice sweet cool smoking tobbaco. The vanilla flavor is very subtle but nice. Room note is also very nice but not as good as the Mac Barren Vanilla Custard.

Cornell & Diehl - Apricots and Cream 2oz
Sweet but really wet.
This is a very wet sticky tobbaco. I've let it dry out for a an hour or so before smoking it as I was worried about tongue bite. I've also just packed it directly from the tin and smoked it. Both times have been very enjoyable with little to no tongue bite. If you're looking for a sweet treat then this is for you.

Mac Baren - Vanilla Cream 3.5oz
This is the one
This is the one tobacco that really got me into smoking my pipe. It's got an amazing flavor and wonderful room note. I will always keep some of this around.

Filters & Adaptors - Peterson 9mm Filters (40 Pack)
Great filter
Great little filters for all of my filtered Petes. Unfortunately they don't last more than two smokes.

Peterson - Sunset Breeze 50g
Sweet tasting cool smoking
This is a very nice sweet blend. I'll be buying more to cellar.

Peterson - Sherlock Holmes 50g
Just buy it.
I normally smoke aromatics but decided to give this a shot. Glad I did. Cool, dry smoke and a wonderful flavor with no tongue bite. I'll be buying more to cellar.

Peterson - Nightcap 50g
I'm normally into arromatics.
So while I am an aromatic guy I was intrigued by this blend. After a friend of mine gave it glowing reccomendatioms I decided to give it a try. What an amazing blend. I really enjoyed this smoke. It was a great tasting bowl that was very relaxing. I will be buying more.

Cornell & Diehl - King Cake 2oz
It's just not that great
Another overhyped aromatic. This one was a miserable smoke for me. Sour tasting and got real hot real fast. A freind of mine tried it and liked it alot so that's why it's getting 2.5 stars. I would not purchase it again.

CAO - Eileen's Dream Corona
Nice short smoke
I picked these up on a whim while at Smoking Pipes store in SC. They are a nice short smoke that doesn't leave any lingering bad after taste. I will be buying more.

Sutliff - Maple Street 1.5oz
Didn't taste much maple
While this was a science sweet smoke I think it came from the Virginia more than the maple. Don't anticipate much maple, just a nice sweet tobbaco.

Sutliff - Panna Cotta 1.5oz
What a Great blend
I love the real Panna Cotta so when I saw this I was intrigued. It's a sweet and subtle falvoeing blend that leaves a little mystery to it as you smoke. Sip this one slowly and find all of the subtle nuanced flavors that are hiding. You won't be disappointed

Sutliff - Molto Dolce 1.5oz
Can't keep this stuff around
This has to be one of my favorites blends. A good friend of mine reccomended it to me and ever since then I've been hooked. I buy three tins at a time so I have enough to give away to my friends. It smokes follow and has yet ot give me tongue bite.

Sutliff - Barbados Plantation 1.5oz
Amazing stuff.
I am in love with this tobacco. It is a sweet wonderful blend that has an incredible room note. You will not be disappointed, and I will be buying more.

Stands & Pouches - Peterson Oxblood Sherlock Holmes Leather Pipe Stand
Nice little stand
This is a nice little pipe stand. Oddly enough it doesn't fit any of my sherlock pipes. So I use it more for decoration by them then to hold them.

Sutliff - A Taste of Summer 1.5oz
Great smoking on a warm day
This is a great smooth and cool smoking tobbaco. The peach flavor is oh so subtle and not overpowering in the least bit. If you're looking for a sweet smoke that takes you back to eating peaches in the summer while out playing in the yard then this is for you.

Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Bob's Chocolate Flake 50g
It's good
I purchased this and was looking forward to something sweet. I was disappointed. I don't tater the chocolate or the hints of cinnamon. Just tastes like a good tobacco blend, which is fine but as I was expecting something different it was a big let down. If you love a good standard blend with a bit of sweetness then you'll like this.

Peterson - Sweet Killarney 50g
By far one of my favorites
I love this tobbaco. It's easy to pack, not wet or dry and smoke very well if you go low and slow and let it stay cool. I've jot had tongue bite with this blend and really enjoy its smooth sweet flavor.

Cornell & Diehl - Apricots and Cream 2oz
Nice flavor but goopy.
This blend has a wonderful scent when you open up the can. It is very wet so you have to leave it out for awhile before smoking, which is tough for me as I smoke at random and never plan ahead on what I'm going to smoke. I've had tongue bite a few times from this blend and lots of gurgling, mainly because I couldn't wait for it to dry out. So give it a shot it's got a nice cherry type of flavor to it that's not overly strong. Just let it dry for a few hours before packing.

Tampers & Tools - Senior Pipe Reamer
Overall a great reamer.
This works well once you figure out the weird Keychain band that holds the thing together. They could've designed that to be much sturdier. Once you get it moving it reams out the bowl pretty evenly. I will say it can dig out grooves if you're not careful.

Sutliff - Molto Dolce 1.5oz
Great daily smoke.
Absolutely love this blend. A good friend of mine reccomended it to me and I'm sure glad he did. It's a nice smooth cool smoke with no tongue bite. I will be buying more of this.

Joya de Nicaragua - Clasico Original Churchill
Great creamy cigar.
Absolutely love these cigars. They have a nice easy draw on them, great flavor and a wonderful smell. These will be my go to cigars for my daily bit of relaxation.
