Stands & Pouches - Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Roll Up - Hunter Brown
Good pouch
Does what it's supposed to and fits nicely in a pipe roll.

Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies - Neerup Cleaning Brush - Chamber Brush (2 Pack)
No complaints
Great for keeping my meerschaum bowl free of cake.

Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies - Neerup Cleaning Brush - Shank (5 Pack)
Nice little brushes
The bristles are nice and firm and work really well getting the gunk out of the shank and I also use them on the bowl of my meerschaum.

Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies - Savinelli Magic Cloth
Good cloth
Seems to work really well at restoring a shine to my pipes. Will definitely get another when this one wears out.

Missouri Meerschaum - Fall Apple 2023
Nice looking at a glance.
I have several MM’s and was excited for this one, but it is a bit of a mess. The shank was cut crooked so the band sits crooked. Not noticeable from the side, but from the top its bad. Stem is not removable, and the shank also comes into the bowl at an angle. Because of the price, it's not worth me paying return shipping to return it. Bummer.

Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Ennerdale Flake 50g
Mild and Enjoyable
I shied away from Lakelands for the longest time because of the mixed feelings about them. This stuff is really good though. From my understanding, this is a very light Lakeland though, and I don't intend to try something heavier haha.

Cornell & Diehl - Autumn Evening 2oz
Tastes like a warm river cabin
I didn't think I loved, and somewhat looked down my nose at aromatics until I smoked this. What a pleasure. Reminds me of pancakes and sitting in front of the fire at my best friend's cabin on the Ocmulgee River.

Sutliff - Cringle Flake 2022 1.5oz
Good
I like it! Not anything crazy going on here, it's just good.

Sir Walter Raleigh - Aromatic 1.5oz
For the "drugstore" aromatics, this is my favorite
Im a biologist, and take this in the field with me to smoke out of a cob. Its a good all day smoke.

Captain Black - Royal 1.5oz
Better than the white label
It's not great, and not bad, its just right for what it is.

Captain Black - Original 1.5oz
I know this is blasphemy
but I just didn't like it. The smell of the pipe after smoking is also really off-putting to me.

Cornell & Diehl - Crooner 2oz
Very unique
Forewarning, this will ghost a pipe. I really liked the honey/rasin taste of this tobacco. Its super unique and interesting. I would almost say it tastes and smells something like the way Taylor's Pride chewing tobacco smells (which is a good thing to me). I have dedicated a pipe to it.

Cornell & Diehl - Awakened Elder 2oz
I do love English tobacco
Not much to say, other than it's really enjoyable. Not the best English I've ever had, but it is really good.

Cornell & Diehl - Bayou Morning Flake 2oz
Good stuff
I enjoyed this, its a good all day smoke for me. Nothing too crazy, just good. If you like Va/Pers this is a good one.

Ashtrays - Pipe Ashtray - Glass (2 Pipes)
Really great for the price
Like the title says. Nothing fancy, just does the job.

Seattle Pipe Club - Mississippi River 2oz
My personal favorite
I really like this tobacco. It has somewhat of a sour taste going on that I really enjoy and is unique. I could see not liking it, but man it hits the spot for me.

Cornell & Diehl - Carolina Red Flake 2oz
I don't get the hype
I bought 2 tins, 1 for now and one for 5 years later or so. It's not a bad tobacco, but I don't think it's as good as people make it out to be. It definitely needs to be smoked slowly, and tends towards a bitter aftertaste towards the bottom of the bowl, so I may be doing something wrong.

Cornell & Diehl - Briar Fox 2oz
Not bad
I didn't hate this tobacco, but I didn't love it either. Maybe I'm just not huge on burleys as they seem a bit bland or generic to me. I will have to give this one another shot a bit further down the line.
