Nørding - Labrador 2oz
Completely New Recipe
This had been on my list for a long time, but was not in production. Don't go off the description on Tobacco Reviews which is an aromatic. Be sure to purchase based on the description above.

Kopp - Limited Edition: Flame 1919 (2024) 100g
A Nice Blend
Smells like a fine classic burley blend. Definitely some type of light topping. The perique is not noticeable. It's an enjoyable lightly aromatic blend. Pretty much is as described. If it sounds good to you, try it. Interesting cut btw with some ribbon and chunks from a rubbed out flake.

Accessories - Rattray's Steam Punk Lighter
Will not light a pipe.
I had to replace the original flint with a new Zippo flint. Now that it lights reliably, the flame will not bend down to go into a pipe bowl. I love the idea and I love the sealed fuel container. I filled it up and it lasted a week when a regular Zippo only holds fuel for about 3 days. But I'm just going to give it away to somebody who smokes cigarettes.

Cobblestone - Brick Burley Plug 1.75oz
Excellent
Full flavored and well balanced. A top 10 for me.

Ashton - Gold Rush 50g
Really Good
There are bad Virginias and great Virginias, this is a really good Virginia. It smokes easily and will surprise you with a rich fruit flavor in the second half of the bowl. I reach for this when I want any easy smoking Virginia that I don't need to rub out. Much better than similarly priced American Virginias.

Newminster - No.400 Superior Navy Flake
Really solid Virginia
Great grass and hay flavor, easy to smoke, by far my favorite anytime Virginia. I stopped at four stars because I haven't coaxed much complexity of it, but I'm buying a half pound more.

Rattray's - Bagpiper's Dream 100g
One of my go to holiday blends
A very well done aromatic. I don't smoke a lot of them. I reserve this for the holidays. Has a hint of cherry to me.

Sillem's - Mayor 1814 Flake 50g
Very nice tobacco
One of the few my wife likes the smell of... If you like Erinmore Flake, you'll like this.
