Wessex - Brigade Campaign Dark Flake 50g
In my dreams
I have not actually tried this unicorn because within 1 hour of the email that drops 7AM its gone. I guess that explains why there are only 18 reviews on this rarity. Wessex might as well start selling this for $40 a 50g tin.
Peterson - Hyde Park 50g
Good not Terrific…
I don’t write many reviews. If you enjoy VaBur’s this is really good for what it is. Quality and Smooth. Great for a slow pace. As others stated the very minor hint of flavor only happens when sipping it very slowly. It’s good but I was hoping for a bit more maple flavor. YMMV depending on your palate sensitivity. I love sweet but unfortunately don’t pick it up easily.
Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Bosun Cut Plug
Not For Me - Soapy
I know this is one that you love or hate. I am not going to go below a three star as it’s a quality tobacco. I enjoy mild Lakeland blends but this one has too much for me. It reminded me of when my dad washed my mouth out with soap when I was 10 years old.
Edward G. Robinson - Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend 12oz
Excellent and Fruity
I recently started doing comparisons between Latakia blends (battle of the blends) using 2 pipes and smoking 2 blends comparing them at same time. This method has dramatically helped me realize which ones I like more. I noticed that if smoking EGR alone it’s good but when head to head with others the sweet fruity flavor shines through and stands out. I was shocked that EDR made it to my top 2 blends with Latakia.
Wessex - Brigade Classic Virginia 50g
Good but confusing..
This blend contains Perique. The info on website and back of tin indicates it. However the Tobacco Reviews is confusing. It’s indicates this blend is a straight Virginia and for the one with Perique it has no review and has of a green tin? Regardless this VaPer has sweetness and is mild on the Perique which I enjoy.
Amphora - Amphora Sampler
Delicious Starter
I have been smoking now about 2 years. I have sampled almost 80 tobaccos from Codgers, Aromatics, Burleys, Virginias, VaPers, VaBurs, English, Dark Fired, and even G&H strong dark blends. The Amphora tobaccos are rock solid. The Burley, Kentucky, and Virginia are all in my top 15 rotation. I have not tried the English but it is likely a straight up the middle solid.
Presbyterian - Ordained 50g
Are 5Star Reviews Real?
I buy most of my needs from SmokingPipes so I love their service. But cmon really? A new tobacco becomes available on 23rd and on 24th there are three 5 star reviews already? Please stop the fake reviews for marketing and sales. I am losing trust!
Carter Hall - Carter Hall 14oz
New Smoker Confusion
I wanted to offer help to new smokers. I have been smoking for 2 months. I purchased and tried numerous samples. If you are seeking a tasty mild tobacco to start choose Carter Hall. It’s now my go to daily as I sample others. We are all different but this OTC hit the spot for me as a beginner.
