G. L. Pease - Union Square 2oz
Lovely
A truly pure VA, a little fresh but still nice, would be great with age. True VA flavor, a hint of unique baking spice on the exhale I can't get from any other blend. A new favorite, will definitely be spending some time with this one

Newminster - No.400 Superior Navy Flake
A good straight va
An excellent classic VA with hints of honey/Graham cracker, baked bread, a little fresh but aged it's hard to beat. Its a little more on the sweeter less grassy side of va's as opposed to some of the more citrusy Virginia's. A good price for a blending base as well.

Warped - Saint Espresso 2oz
A nice aro, with a distinct cigar kick
A nicely blended aro that both smells and tastes nice, even halfway down. It does have a distinct cigar leaf, mostly maduro notes to it. It's a Warped blend after all, beautifully done and great really early or really late!

Old German Clay - Retro Briar Sandblasted Pot
These old stummels make great smokers
What Levi said is accurate, my only warning, and it's not a criticism just an fyi is due I think to either the aging of the briar or the style if they were drilled when made, regardless it works better with the thin walls. The draft holes are a little smaller than a lot of modern 9mm style pipes people are used to. Some may want to enlarge it a tkny vjt.I got this and the brandy (the black retro brandy, similar dimemsions as this, pics arent great byt cool pipe t)oo, which is really more an oval shank long stem lovat or billiard. This one is just shorter with no taper and a quarter or so bend stem. It holds a lot more than it looks, the smaller draft hole and the thin walls actually releaseoʻ the heat immediately so it's an excellent pipe to learn a cadence and not overheating

Old German Clay - Retro Briar Sandblasted Brandy
Nice retro pipe
Not what I expected, but I really enjoy it, very thin walled but smokes great and surprisingly cool. Its a little slimmer bowl and an oval shank the width of the bowl, and its more of a long stem lovar. It has a natural rim on the black finish which looks nice, probably buy a few more. Definitely unique and also very lightweight, excellent smoking pipe for the price

Peterson - 3 P's Peterson's Perfect Plug 50g
One of the best plugs left
Most plug tobacco does good to stay together halfway through, this stuff is like chocolate till rubbed out, nice smoke and potency. A pleasant casing without ruining the tobacco

Cornell & Diehl - Espresso
A good condiment
A bit goopy and finer cut than shown, but an excellent flacoring tobacco, not sure about on its own but worth a try

Mac Baren - 7 Seas Royal 3.5oz
Excellent
All of the 7 seas blemds are nice aros, like if Captain black got an upgrade

Sutliff - Aged Maduro Cavendish
Lovely
Definitely a u ique smoke on its owm or great to spice up a cigar or burley blend

Half and Half - Half and Half 1.5oz
Surprisingly good
Really nice for a codger blend, not goopy or overpowering

Cornell & Diehl - Chopped Cigar Leaf
A nice blemder
A little blamd on ita own but excellent with some maduro or espresso cavendish

Peter Stokkebye - PS402 Luxury Twist Flake
My daily smoke
An excellemt stoved flake with a caramel/coconut casing im told. If you like a lighter sweeter smoke this stuff is great without being overwhelming

Low Country - Natural Virginia
Needs some age, but great for the price
This seems like a rather plain virginia at first, slightly dry but once humidified it snokes great and after a few months of aging its softened up and has less of a "fresh/green" flavor and more like a nice mellow virginia. Stoved some and it is excellent for that as well and cheap enough to experiment with, this is a great li ghar t blending tobacco perfect for bringing out a good condiment leaf

G. L. Pease - The Virginia Cream 2oz
Daily favorite
Great in the norning with a cup of coffee. Not a straight virginia but not a straight aro either, I bought a new pipe specifically for this blend after noticing the nore delicate flavors out of a fresh cob. No ghosting, not too sweet, but just right with a black coffee, a good bourbon or a nice brandy even. The cream taste is amazing with coffee or cold brew in the morning or for a sweet nightcap smoke
