Capstan - Flake Blue 1.75oz
Finest Virginia
As far as straight Virginias go, this is one of the top boss of them all. I cannot capture that McClelland’s verve; yet as delicious as Wessex Red and Sam Gawith Full Virginia. Con: too expensive and soon to be extinct.
Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Rum Twist
Good enough to chew on.
This is my new go to tobacco 100%. It has this delicious, leafy tobacco taste that is better than Bankside, Union Square, Full Virginia Flake, and all my other favorites. I’ve been searching for years and years for something this satisfying and finally nailed it thanks to these wonderful reviews by y’all on this page. I bought a pound and soon I’d like to buy another before all hell breaks loose. As far as the tobacco: the rum is slight, the smoke does not bite at all, the retro is wonderful; it arrives a bit moist so dry it out. I cut coins out of it, but I’m also a bit unorthodox and I rather untwist the rope, peel the tobacco leaves off and cut it into fat, dry ribbons. World class leaf for sure. Willing to trade away all my other virginias for more of this blend.
Low Country - Atalaya 2oz
Outstanding
I like what Salty Briar said about the blend being “meaty and delicious”. This is a true American-style Virginia Perique with some Orientals thrown in to keep you puffing and appreciating and wondering how and why there are so many tobacco snobs out there.
G. L. Pease - Bankside 2oz
Excellence
I am enjoying this tobacco so much I made it my top choice. For me, it is the finest blend I have smoked since McClelland’s was still producing fine American Virginia Perique blends. The added Dark Fired Kentucky and a bit of Latakia makes this an absolute masterpiece.
Cornell & Diehl - Black Duck 2oz
Make way for the bird.
Long time fan of the Black Duck. It’s usually what I crave for when I’m feeling English.
G. L. Pease - Union Square 8oz
Insane
It’s delicious. I can smoke it all day and everyday. High quality Virginia. We are spoiled.
Samuel Gawith - 1792 Flake 50g
Excellent
I aged it for 5 years and it is a very nice and satisfying tobacco.
Cornell & Diehl - Blockade Runner 2oz
Aged 9 years
I'm smoking a 9 year old aged tin and it is fantastic. Smooth liquor taste; burning well and did not have to light the pipe more than twice. I do not know what it is like purchased new. However, aged 9 years it still felt fresh- and like another reviewer said below it does in fact have a nautical feel to it. Will buy and age more.
