Reviews


Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Dark Flake Aromatic
Not good!
After attempting to smoke 2-3 bowls of this tobacco over a two year period while cellaring this tobacco, I find it doesn't get better with age. I find it to be extremely bitter/burning cardboard taste that also bites aggressively π¬! I hope others have better luck with it than I did!


Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Brown Flake Aromatic
Pleasant taste!
Very smooth, no bite! Delicious fig - honey flavor that's light and refreshing and allows you to still taste the tobacco's. I will purchase again - highly recommend it!


Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Rum Flake
Tasty!
This tobacco is sweet, but IMHO not as most descibe it as. The rum comes through as a sort pancake syrup (not maple). It can bite if puffed vigorously, still I enjoyed it and recommend trying it!


Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Dark Flake Unscented
Strength!
I have to say that without a doubt that this has be the highest nicotine content of any pipe tobacco that I've had to date! It gave me a strong head buzz. However it is smooth with a hint of sweet in the background. It becomes very smooth after aging. Give it a try!


Cornell & Diehl - Virginia Flake
Pleasant!
This a rather light for my tastes. It is very smooth with hints of sweet, and citrus, but lacks that deep flavor you get in Capstan blue. It's definitely worth trying!


Cornell & Diehl - Captain Bob's Blend
Refreshing!
Smooth, delicious, tangy - sweet grape πflavor is truly unique and satisfying! I really enjoyed it! I highly recommend you try it!


Daughters & Ryan - Three Sails
Rich and delicious!
A Virginia lovers dream! Very strong natural sweetness comes through and is exceptionally smooth, burning to a clean white ash with no wasted dottle. As an admitted Virginia snob, this one is in my top ten favorites, comparable to my number one favorite, Gawith and Hoggarth's Kendall Gold! So yummy π!!! Try it, you'll like it too!


Daughters & Ryan - Windsail Silver
Tasty!
So glad I tried this! Smooth, naturally sweet Virginia π. Very pleasant taste and roomnote!


Missouri Meerschaum - Great Dane 1.5oz
Outstanding!
I must admit that I was skeptical about this tobacco at first, but now I'm sorry that I didn't try it sooner! It's super smooth and smokes slowly with a few relights, but that's due the high moisture content. Just let it dry a good hour or more and it's good to go. It tastes of vanilla, chocolate, caramel and other sweet treats! I personally did not notice any cherry flavoring. Delicious π!!! Highly recommended!


Dan Tobacco - Salty Dogs 50g
Top notch Va-Per
This is definitely in my top ten list for best va-per! It checks all the right boxes for me! The pouch note is an awesome fruity, rum scent. The plug is a deep, dark, rich, almost black in color. Due to the density, you need to rub out enough to fill your pipe, and, let it dry for about an hour. Once lit, you are rewarded a sublime, raisin/plum from the highest quality perique and virginia's, with scrumptious rum flavorπ! It's also extremely smooth and bite free. I guarantee that it's definitely worth the extra effort of preparing this style of tobacco! Despite the price seeming high, the reward of smoking this is worth every penny! Highly recommended!


Rattray's - Wallace Flake 50g
Outstanding!
This is definitely one of my all time favorites! It has the most deep, rich flavor from the high quality tobacco's topped with a superb plum flavoring that perfectly complement each other. It was completely bite free no matter how hard I puffed! The room note is heavenly. I went through the whole tin in a few days. Every bowl was consistently delicious π, and put a smile π on my face! Very highly recommend ed! I would give this ten stars π!


Peter Stokkebye - PS306 English Oriental Supreme
A wonderful English blend!
For a bulk blend, I was surprised at the incense like pouch note, very smooth, sweet incense like taste, and only slight tongue tingle, but no bite!π If you love English blends, this is a must try!π


Sutliff - 19 Coconut Almond
Almond cookies in your pipe!
I must admit that coconut in tobacco sounded odd, but out of curiosity decided to try it. So very glad I did! This is a new favorite! Tastes like almond -coconut cookies. Absolutely smooth and bite free to the bottom of the bowl! Highly recommended!ππ


Sutliff - Holiday Mixture
Tasty English/aromatic!
Very soft, smooth, light English with a hint of sweet casing. No bite! Give it a try you will love it!π


Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation - Evening Flake
Smooth!
I'd been wanting to try this out for a long time and let me tell you it was worth the wait! Very, very smooth, high quality Virginia, and just a hint of perique and a bit of sweet casing (rum?). Delicious! I highly recommend itππ!


Peter Stokkebye - PS27 Pistachio
Superb!
This is an excellent underrated smooth, bite free, delicious aromatic with a phenomenal roomnote! Two thumbs-up ππππ. Highly recommended!!!


Mac Baren - Vanilla Roll Cake 3.5oz
Great aroma!
This stuff has an extremely delicious tin-note and tastes amazing for about one third into the bowl and then changes into a very sharp, bitey, peppery mess leaving a lot of wasted dottle and a sore tongue. π Definitely overpriced. I even tried blending with the softest cavendishes but it still didn't work for me.


Mac Baren - Danish Mixture Modern 3.5oz
Old fashioned smoke
My personal view of this tobacco is that it's a little lacking in aromatic taste and roomnote, however it is completely bite free, smooth smoke with flavor building up as you puff. I found that it makes an outstanding blending tobacco to smooth out or tone done sharp, bitey, and over flavored tobacco's. Has a fine old-timey taste and roomnote.


Cornell & Diehl - Gillingham Mixture
All day smooth smoke!
This blend really surprised me! Very pleasant, relaxing, flavor of honeyπ― that doesn't overwhelm the fine tobacco's. Highly recommend π π


Cornell & Diehl - Shelbyton
Yuk!
This crap has a justifiably low rating - smells of burning chemicals, and tastes like burnt peanuts. Definitely does not taste like port wine! Don't waste your timeππ€’


Cornell & Diehl - Haunted Bookshop
Bland!
After reading, and watching so many positive reviews, and being a va-per lover, I was excited to try this. However, I found it to be very flat, boring, and tasteless, like puffing warm air. It was smooth and bite free however.


Cornell & Diehl - Bob Bushman
Unique!
I am really surprised by the low ratings as I found this to have a very smooth, pleasant flavor and roomnote and no bite. Give it a try you might like it!π


Newminster - No. 400 Superior Navy Flake
Underrated excellence!
At first I was hesitant to try this, but am really glad that I did! It's extremely smooth, no bite unless you push it to fast, has a delicious casing that provides a pleasant flavor and roomnote. I'll definitely be buying more! Highly recommended! π


Sutliff - Whiskey Cavendish
Outstanding!
Very smooth, bite free, lights easily, delicious light whiskey flavor all the way to the bottom of the bowl. Highly recommend it!ππTwo thumbs up!


Sutliff - R-18
Delicious!
Taste is reminiscent of chocolate cream filled sandwich cookies without the calories! I will be buying again! I highly recommend it!π
