Cult - Blood Red Moon 50g
Awesome aromatic for the English smoker
Over the last few years, I have transitioned to English tobaccos due to just being burned out on aromatics. I recently tried the Cult Blood Red Moon and was totally shocked that this tobacco did not bite being a cherry aro. So I got some more and added it to my regiment of weekly blends that I enjoy. I really do suggest this one for folks who want something different without the gooeyness and bite of the typical aromatic. It smells and taste great as well.

Cornell & Diehl - Epiphany 8oz
Trumendous flavor
C&D did a great job in putting this blend together. I really have come to love this stuff. you wont be disappointed.

A&C Petersen - Escudo Navy Deluxe 50g
Excellent ageing tobacco.
Excellent ageing tobacco. this blend has been a favorite of mine for many years and found the older it gets the better it is. I do not think it is spot on when comparing to the original Escudo from years back, but it is damn close, This is in my cellar and in my top five of Vap/Pers

Orlik - Golden Sliced 100g
Slow Smoker
This is a great tobacco for just setting and slow smoking. it gets better with age on it.

Peter Stokkebye - PS400 Luxury Navy Flake
Great Navy Flake, Vap/Per
I love this navy flake and noticed after a little aging it really gets better so I bought more to cellar, This one is in my top five for Vap/Per's.

Peter Stokkebye - PS403 Luxury Bullseye Flake
Great Vap/Or
Tried this blend sometime back and just bought more, I could not believe what I have been missing out on. packs well and the burn is very nice.

Cornell & Diehl - Autumn Evening 16oz
Girlfriend APPROVED
I bought a tin of this last year and smoked it on the back porch not realizing the window was open. The aroma pretty much filled the house and my girlfriend said she loved it, she loved the fact the tobacco made everything like pancakes and maple syrup. AWESOME JOB C&D.

Cornell & Diehl - Comfort 2oz
Serenity in a Tin
This is truly Serenity in a Tin for me, this tobacco is in my vapor collection and I would put in my top 5 vapors of all time. I love Cornell & Diehl tobacco blends.

Cornell & Diehl - Red Carpet 2oz
Top Shelf
I have come to love red Virginias, this stuff smokes the heck out of some of the McClelland tobacco blends.

Cornell & Diehl - Carolina Red Flake 2oz
Trumendous flavor
I was able to buy some of this tobacco when it went up for sale and should have bought more. This is the best red Virginia i believe I have ever had. Awesome job to Cornell & Diehl and smoking pipes for making this available for us to enjoy.

War Horse - Green 1.75oz
pleasure with a punch
this blend is nice, easy to smoke and can sneak up on you if not use to strong tobaccos. I love the faint licorice and a very mild sweet flavor.

Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Dark Flake Aromatic
Old world flavor
Love this deep wonderful tasty blend of licorice, maple and tonquin bean the maple is faint but there. this blend has a bit of a raisin smell and a awesome flavor when smoked.

Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Brown Flake Liquorice
So good
This tobacco has a mild Liquorice scent/flavor. the tin note not only has the Liquorice scent but it also smells slightly of raisins. this is a must for you of those who like Liquorice.

Solani - X - Sweet Mystery 100g
Surprized!
I bought the tin just to try it not really expecting a lot from the tobacco. I was so set back the tin notes were so nice and the smoke was just beautiful.

Solani - Green Label - 127 100g
apple pipe
This is a good blend, it does smell like apples but the taste dissipates a little once it is lit. I still like it and it has a place along with my other Aromatics.

Cornell & Diehl - Oriental Silk
great tobacco
I love this tobacco, I enjoy blending it with perique and aging it for a while.

G. L. Pease - Penny Farthing 2oz
smokers delight
Wonderful blend, very different in flavor compared to the tin description in a good way. nice shag cut.

A&C Petersen - Escudo Navy Deluxe 50g
beautiful pipe fuel
Such a great blend of tobaccos, beautiful tin note, flavor and a great smoke.

Vauen - Oxford Blend 50g
Love Earl Gray in my cup and my pipe.
I love this because it is so close to Earl Grey tea and I love Earl Grey tea. The tin note is of Earl Grey tea. When smoking, you will get an orange, citrus taste which is extremely mild. It seemed a bit moist in the tin, so some drying may be needed. It is a nice smoke, Very Pleasant Room Note.

Vauen - Oriental Blend 50g
Very tasty blend, A nice Oriental.
A very nice tin note, you will get the sweetness of the Virginias and a bit of fruit and honey. The tobacco is a ribbon cut and packs and lights easily. It will burn hot if you smoke to fast, did not experience any tongue bite. The flavor is very consistent throughout the bowl with a nice natural Virginia sweetness and some tanginess. I really like this a lot and for me it comes to a perfect Virginia blend. Really enjoyable smoke and the room note is nice.

Cornell & Diehl - Autumn Evening 2oz
Buying more a storing it
Tin Aroma: Vanilla, coffee beans, sweet shop, chocolate. This comes off as a cozy-warm Maple Syrup Chocolate-Vanilla Aromatic with quality tobacco flavor. The Room Note is a beautiful warm maple syrup scent. This blend is had to give up once you start smoking it.

Two Friends - Valle Crucis 8oz
Beautiful tobacco, wonderful spice and flavor
The Two Friends Valle Crucis is a mixture with a small amount of Latakia that accompanies a blend of Izmir and Samsun, VA, Black Cavendish and Perique. Its topped with a little bit of Ginger, this Aromatic English blend offers up some gentle spice and a wonderful unique richness of flavor that is sure to intrigue you, smoke it easy and slow and enjoy, love the taste and room note.

Cornell & Diehl - Bijou 2oz
Supreme blend, another wonderful Oriental
Bijou is delicately sweet and rich mixture of Red VA and from what I was told it was harvested in 2003 alongside Bright VA from 2013, Katerini and a little bit of honey casing. Tish yummy flake is full of natural sweet spicy character, reminiscent of clove, cinnamon and dried fruit. Great for a after dinner smoke.

Cornell & Diehl - Innsmouth 2oz
This is crazy good.
This has a fine blend of VA and Katerini slightly spiced with Perique and lightly touched with a bit of Black Cavendish

Cornell & Diehl - Awakened Elder 2oz
My new replacement
I have found my replacement for McClelland Oriental Mixtures, It seems to have light use of Latakia and the Oriental forward like the McClelland, which is quite unique in its own right with a clove-like flavor, imparted by the use of both Kasturi and Katerini alongside top notch suprema VA leaf, a pinch of Dark Burley, an even smaller bit of Louisiana Perique, and rounded with a soft bit of Black Cavendish to bring every thing together. C&D I think is spot on for me. Oh so great.
