Cornell & Diehl - Innsmouth 2oz
Not bad
One of the better old ones blends along with awakened elder. 3 years age on this tin seems to be a good mellowing point.
Cobblestone - Chess Knight 1.75oz
Great Blend
Exactly as it says a little rough but solid overall natural VA rubbed out and ready to go.
McConnell - Folded Flake 50g
Great Blend
As with most things of these McConnell blends they are sleepers another great classic Va-Per with a slight complexity twist done well.
HU - Dark Moor 100g
Great Blend
Tastes like the description at perfect moisture this is a beautiful tobacco.
Rivertown Tobacco Works - Sunrise Select
Highly impressed
This blend had a bit of a note to it when opened and I was scared it was a bit topped. When lit that goes away and you are left with a wonderfully sweet hay like note a bit bready and quite pleasant for an all day smoke. With practically no bite at all it actually reminds me just a tiny bit of SG Golden Glow a favorite. I plan on putting several pounds away at this price, blending or smoked straight it’s a great tobacco.
Rivertown Tobacco Works - Oak & Ember
Great for what it is
This is a hearty blend that is very forgiving. A wonderful combination of straight tobaccos forming a very earthy tobacco experience with a bit of sweetness in the background.
Rivertown Tobacco Works - Dark 70%
Ok Cavendish
Smoked straight lightly is fairly pleasant and exactly as expected nice chocolate and vanilla light but when puffed a bit harder you really get dark chocolate that can taste a bit more burnt than toasted it you get a little wild. Be easy with this and it will make a nice dessert blend or great addition for blending.
Lane Limited - BL/WB
Pretty decent blend
If you want a cheap burley this is ok but your better off not buying an STG product
Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Burley and Bright
Exceptional blend
Unexpectedly no bite with a very light note of chocolate and vanilla I don’t like aromatics really Edgeworth Match Is as close as I come to them and this is a very pleasant easy burning blend that I plan on putting a couple 500g away. Light enough for me to still enjoy the tobacco not just an in and out pleasant note
HU - Director's Cut 100g
Good blend
This is an exceptional blend a bit out of the ordinary. Really does taste exactly as you would expect if you’re familiar with HU blends a nice touch with the extra work of the coins. Not a blend for me a the price point but everyone should get a couple tins to try and to age.
Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Rodeo 50g
Good blend
This reminds me of a more mild Kendall Mixed. A good burley and VA combo with just a slight Kendall casing undertone.
Rattray's - Brown Clunee 100g
Great Blend
This is a wonderful blend creamy smoke sweeter than expected but just because it’s heavier in VA than expected the perique and Kentucky are great background support. Came in a the right moisture to smoke but 5-10 minutes on a tray doesn’t hurt any.
HU - Louisiana Broken 100g
Good blend
This is a good everyday Va-Per with a little kick from Kentucky. It’s solid but nothing here to get me to put more than a few away to age.
Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Kendal Kentucky Vintage Cut
Good blend
Good flavor good tobacco but like all the Kendall bulls it has that note to it that’s rough.
Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Broken Scotch Cake
Great tobacco but…
This is a great blend good cut, right moisture, great flavor but….. to me it’s bitey unfortunately too much to enjoy.
Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Dark Plug
Good plug
Solid lug of quality whole leaf makeup not too Smokey and mild cigar note this is a good alternative to the ropes.
Molina - Peppino Natural (103) (9mm)
Good Pipe
The pipe I received had wonderful grain was light weight and is worth the money. That said the drilling is off wasn’t centered wasn’t even and requires a pipe cleaner to keep it from plugging at least once or twice per pipe. You get what you pay for pretty pipe that is smokable and can be thrown around.
Samuel Gawith - Cabbie's Roll Cut 50g
Excellent Blend
Buy when it’s available great mellow vaper with little to no bite. Complex and different yet perfectly comfortable.
Missouri Meerschaum - Country Gentleman 1.5oz
Good blend
Mine came dry as a bone and still had a good flavor just missing any extra because of the compromised seal.
Savinelli - Doblone d'Oro 100g
Solid blend
This blend really pushes the bbq dark fired to the front with a bit of sweetness and and earthiness coming behind. Good but too much like bbq and not enough earth to it. Good not great and now gone glad I got to try it.
Kopp - Limited Edition: Flame 1919 (2024) 100g
Quality Aromatic
While fairly mild there is a very obvious top note. That said the tobaccos seem very good quality and you can taste nuttiness and bread behind the top note. I don’t like Aromatics really but find this very good while I won’t get more I suspect this will be a great bridge for someone trying to get away from straight aromatics.
Cobblestone - Chess Rook 1.75oz
This is an Aromatic
Order this and the tin says Plum topping right on it why this says natural VA in online description is s a mistake.
Cornell & Diehl - Interlude 2oz
Solid blend
My tin had 2 years age. It had sweet dark bread notes and just a hint of honey. Well worth aging a few.
Wessex - Gold Virginia Flake 50g
Excellent VA
Exactly as it says Bread, Citrus, not really any hay more like as they say soft sweet oats type finish very creamy on the palate.
HU - Nyala 100g
Solid blend
This blend is a bit sweet for me and it’s topped a bit too much for my liking but still really good if you like something more like a light aromatic.
McConnell - Shakespeare 50g
Great Mature VA
Another gem these tobaccos are hidden in plain sight if you like a solid straight VA with no bite and lots of natural VA flavor a little citrus a little hay a little bread enough said. My tin had about 2 yrs age.
HU - Indaba 100g
Great Blend
Exactly what you want and expect out of this blend. I’ve had at least 500 blends and this is in my top 5 for sure along with Night Owl HU is killing it
HU - Night Owl 100g
Exactly what it says it is
You get the flavor wanted from every component and a superb complexity from the blend. Praise not easily given
Savinelli - 145th Anniversary 2oz
Solid Va-Per
Tastes of chocolate and dark fruit and a subtle smokiness undertone. Well done
Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation - 2012 Anniversary Blend 1.75oz
Very good blend
Worth every penny great stuff
G. L. Pease - Montgomery 2oz
Great Blend
Great VA and a touch of Dark Fired makes this a great change up from time to time. Solid straight no top note tobacco.
Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation - Max Erik 1989 1.75oz
Very good VA
Surprised by this cheap solid VA exactly what it says no top note solid straight VA bright Citrus and fresh bread and hay with no bite.
Samuel Gawith - Black XX Rope 8oz
Good rope
Needs age though been a while since I had fresh and it’s definitely that.
Sutliff - Tobacco Galleria: Midnight Smoke
Ok smoke
Very wet and very much an aromatic vanilla type note good but not what expected
Cobblestone - Chess Queen 1.75oz
Great Blend
This isn’t a blend that is gonna blow minds but does everything well this and Outdoors Hunting are two very underrated blends it’s ok keep the secret.
Newminster - No.400 Superior Navy Flake
Solid blend
Graham crackery VA flake solid slight top note but don’t be afraid if you like straight tobacco it’s worth trying.
Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Kendal Gold
Good Blend
Very mild pure tobacco if that’s what you want probably great for roll your own
Mac Baren - Stockton 100g
Very good blend
This is a very mild blend. That said when you can coax the flavor out of this one it’s a wonderful experience. Bready VA with a very soft spicy KY Cavendish yep get in on it.
ADVentura - The Royal Return: Queen's Pearls Corona
Good Stick
Quality as always from this company but not impressed with this one
Warped - Midsommar 2oz
Solid blend
Not what I was expecting very tobacco forward not much of any top note just st a clean blend worthy of its namesake
Cobblestone - Brick Virginia Plug 1.75oz
Good Blend
Smokes very well while almost being mellow to the point of a double pressing. Solid Red VA.
Davidoff - Royalty 50g
Not bad
Certainly a different feel for an English sweet undertones with solid complexity worth a shot.
Drew Estate - Deadwood Leather Rose Torpedo
Solid Stick
This is a very flavorful stick but I prefer the taste of tobacco not chocolate and whatever else.
Cobblestone - Outdoors Hunting 1.75oz
Very good blend
This is an excellent blend solid VA-Per with a good burley addition that adds volume to the smoke and reduces bite. A little citrus and hay with a bit of earthiness. A pure tobacco experience that may unexpectedly be one of my favorite blends to date.
Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation - 1855 1.4oz
Great Blend
Exactly what it says. Lots of citrus, bit of hay and great natural flavor with little bite for a brighter VA. My tin had about 2 years age and will definitely be something I start to put away in the cellar.
Cornell & Diehl - Kelly's Coin 2oz
Good blend
Solid and there it really just tastes like dark blending burley with a dose of red VA good and sweeter than expected.
Warped - Saint Espresso 2oz
Great Blend
Im gonna be one of those guys.....I dont like aromatics but I had to try this since it seems so well recieved. I really like it certainly the best aro Ive ever had. Keep it up Warped.
Cornell & Diehl - Opening Night 2oz
Solid VA
Seemingly flying under the radar this is a solid straight VA with very little bite for those like me that don’t do well with bright VA.
ADVentura - The Royal Return: King's Gold Corona
Great stick
Probably my favorite stick that’s not a toscano
Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Kendal Mixed
One of my favorite blends
This is the best of Gawith 10 minutes dry time and slow easy burn no bite and lots of flavor
Sutliff - Per G. Jensen Bold & Strong
Great Tobacco
Once again a great blend or blender from Per. All these tobaccos are wonderful on their own and I have no doubt will blend well together. Personally I like all 3 non aromatic blenders all stand alone pure tobacco experience worthy of putting away plenty to age.
Sutliff - Per G. Jensen Virginia
Great VA
This smokes great all alone great VA flavor with no bite. I’m sure it will blend well but will be keeping lots around for a solid pure tobacco smoke.
Sutliff - Per G. Jensen Burley
Great Burley
This is a great smoke all by itself. Solid pure burley blended very well.
Missouri Meerschaum - Bracken Straight
Good pipe
Solid corn cob the only downside to this one is it is a bit heavy for a constant clincher.
Cornell & Diehl - White Burley
Great blender
Exactly what you would expect solid white burley mellow and at the right moisture. Good for smoking alone or blending.
Sutliff - 507C Virginia Slices
Solid VA Flake
Solid VA flavor slightest graham cracker flavor but don’t let that stop you if you like straight VA it’s slight and the VA bready hay like notes are all there.
Cornell & Diehl - Derringer
Underrated VA
This is a solid VA blend. Bready mellow sweetness great play between bright and reds a solid all day VA very little bite.
Cornell & Diehl - Eight State Burley 2oz
Great Blend
Mellow sweet cocoa earth nuts perfect moisture to load fresh from the tin. Great Burley
Cornell & Diehl - Mad Fiddler Flake 2oz
Ok Blend
I’m say up front I’m not into aromatics. This is a good blend but has too much of an odd taste and room note. An odd mix of gym socks and some sort of bitter fruit. Ok to get through a tin but no more for me thanks.
Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation - Fathers, Friends & Fire Batch 002 Virginia Perique Flake 2oz
Ok blend
This may be a hit for some but I’m not one into the gym socks perique and this tastes and smells like dirty gym socks so if you like that it will be a hit.
Seattle Pipe Club - Down Yonder 2oz
Good blend but…
This is a tasty blend but in no way warrants $20 this is a $10 basic blend wrapped in a $10 SPC tin. If this was $10-12 I may put some away to age but for the $20 I won’t buy this again and at this price point there isn’t a SPC blend I will buy again.
Drew Estate - Kentucky Fire Cured Chunky
Good Stick
Solid fired cured with Nicaragua wrapper good occasional smoke
Toscano - Antica Riserva (2 Pack)
Best of the boxed
This is my favorite of the non master aged Toscanos. Excellent depth and flavor.
Toscano - Garibaldi (5 Pack)
Good Sticks
These are worth the money solid everyday smokes the hickory profile is a nice change from the other but Antica Riserva reign supreme
Toscano - Master Aged Serie 4
Best Stick made
If you like Toscano than this will be then best you had my number 1 stuck.
Tabac De La Semois - Arduinna
Good Stick
Nothing great here but a solid quality stick for a great price
Drew Estate - Kentucky Fire Cured Ponies (10 Pack)
Solid smokes
Just mini Kentucky Fire Cured solid as their full size counterparts.
Amphora - Burley 1.75oz
Great Burley
I had no expectations here but I’m very impressed solid burley blend not aromatic at all solid tobacco taste as it should be.
Cornell & Diehl - Steamworks 2oz
Great Blend
Quality tobacco in a good flavor but a little bitey for me glad I have a couple to age but I’ll keep only a couple around
Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation - Small Batch Freja & Loki 2oz
Great Tobacco
This is something interesting to try. I got 2 tins because it sounded good. Turns out even as a non aromatic smoker I really enjoy this when you first light a bowl it’s a bit strong in the flavor department but then about 1/2 way down the quality tobaccos come through and this blend really shines the rest of the way. Well worth a couple tins for something unique and change of pace. I’m glad I took a chance on it. Maybe those who never ordered it shouldn’t whine about it and stay out of the reviews.
Amphora - Kentucky Blend 1.75oz
Solid Blend
This tastes like a mix of HH Burley flake and has a similar texture and darkness like the HH Rustica solid blend overall a sleeper.
Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Dark Bird's Eye
Great Tobacco
If this didn’t have the Lakeland essence it would be 5 star as is it’s just a great tobacco and not on another level
Cobblestone - Outdoors Hiking 1.75oz
Solid Burley Flake
This is a very good burley flake reminds me of HH Burley Flake but without as much dark fired for more of a true burley taste will definitely buy more on sale for the cellar but not a rotation smoke for me.
Daughters & Ryan - Ryback 16oz
Great Value Tobacco
This blend is a pretty well done mixture of sweet bready VA and earthy toasty burley and some added spice from the dark fired. I think if you like Penny Farthing from GLP than you will likely enjoy this more because you get a similar flavor profile for 1/5 the price.
G. L. Pease - Penny Farthing 2oz
Great Blend
Bready with a little perique goodness and dark fired spice perfect moisture ready to pop the top and light.
Sutliff - Ready Rubbed Match
Solid Blend
This blend is pretty great for what it is I’m not much of a codger blend or burley guy but this blend burns easy has a great cocoa undertone and good earth with a bit of bread. This may take high honors for my mindless smoke a bowl while doing stuff blend.
Savinelli - 140th Anniversary 100g
Great Blend
This blend has a wonderful floral essence. Easy burning this comes off as a twisted Sun Bear with dark fired instead of honey as the defining characteristic. Wonderful room note. Sip easy and be rewarded with a good time.
Presbyterian - Ordained 50g
Solid Virginia
Good flake bread and hay with a very light citrusy graham cracker finish. Get an extra tin or 2 to age.
Cascadia - Trail Head 1.76oz
Good Blend
Good moisture when opening dense plug but after sliced and broken up maybe 10 minutes dry time. No top note but detectable fruity undertones in the casing, overall a little fruit sweetness from VA and earthy burley with a steady burn rate. No bite seems to be a solid blend maybe not something to cellar deep but no doubt it will age well and be a good change of pace in the future.
Cobblestone - Brick Burley Plug 1.75oz
Great Burley
If you like Five Brothers and want a similar flavor profile but much better with more depth and complexity you found it. This has to be one of the best straight burleys on the market.Im thinking they use the double press method to make this unique.
Fribourg & Treyer - Cut Blended Plug 50g
Good Blend
This is a solid blend sweet and bready tin note and when smoked it’s very fruity and bready. A good smoke but definitely a fruity top note.Not a pure tobacco experience.
Savinelli - Juno 2oz
Solid Blend
Bready sweet VA, mellow and hints of hay I imagine this will age extremely well. This won’t be a rotation smoke but definitely a few gonna go in the cellar.
McConnell - Black Flake 50g
Great Blend
I hope the word doesn’t get out that this and Heritage Flake are 2 absolutely great blends. VA with plenty of VA flavor with a little sweetness and this has a slight stone fruit on the back end
Cornell & Diehl - Sansepolcro 2oz
Great Blend
Yet another win for C&D this blend hits all the right notes without harshness or bit the VA’s are premium and the Dark Fired and Cavendish in the right places at the right times this will age beautifully .
Hearth & Home - Bright Night 1.75oz
Great Blend
The extra processing they use to make this blend really makes it come alive and is by far the best VA I’ve had that’s came out of the Sutliff factory. Sweet bready little bit of citrus a really great VA.
Five Brothers - Five Brothers 1.25oz
Great Burley
Earthy, nutty and strong a great burley at the right moisture level. Shag cut means take it easy but if you love pure tobacco this is a must.
Sillem's - Councilor 1695 50g
Great Blend
A very nice VaPer buttery bread and stone fruit subtle and flavorful a solid blend to keep in your cellar
Cornell & Diehl - Oak Alley 2oz
Solid Blend
Earthy nutty tiny bit of floral and stone fruit in the back a solid blend and something to keep as a change of pace a pure tobacco experience. Does remind me a bit of cigarettes so knocked off .5 star also my wife says the room note is terrible it has the stinky Turkish smell tastes=good smell=mad wife
Cornell & Diehl - Dark Burley
Great Burley
Good straight burley a little creamy a little cigar a little earthy and nutty. The quintessential burley that will make you take a nap if you get a little forgetful of what you got going on. I have no doubt it will work well in home blends but is wonderful straight.
Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Dark Flake Unscented
Excellent Blend
I feel like this is just the black Irish x in flake form. Therefore I love this blend. Dark Strong and lovely.
Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Brown Flake Unscented
Excellent Flake
This flake as always comes wet but 30 minutes dry time and you have an excellent smoke like HH Burley Flake with Gawith flare. I would smoke this all day everyday and be happy if it just came dryer and you didn’t spend 1/4 of you money on water.
Peter Heinrichs - Golden Sliced 100g
Excellent Virginia
Coming in at nearly perfect moisture maybe 5-10 minutes dry time a solid Virginia flake hay, sweet bready and hints of citrus a bright VA without bite comes in a 100g coil of flake. Excellent aging potential. A little bit of graham cracker after taste is the only flaw in my opinion.
Three Nuns - Three Nuns 1.75oz
Good blend
This version seems to be a solid blend from the start. Perfect moisture out the tin. Definitely a clove topping, lighter than Peter Heinrich Curley special with a bit of dark fired to give it a bit of complexity.
Mac Baren - HH Burley Flake 1.75oz
Great Flake
At first the dark fires seemed a bit strong after a the tin it seems to me to be a near perfect burley flake perfect moisture out the tin and solid flavor to the bottom of the bowl.No bite near perfect burley flake
