Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Louisiana Flake
Chocolate VaPer
A nice VaPer with a hint of chocolate and Lakeland essence. Truly enjoyable.
Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Bob's Chocolate Flake 50g
Chocolate
Very pleasant light chocolate with slight Lakeland essence and a nice helping of latakia. None over powers the tobacco. Enjoyable smoke.
Carter Hall - Carter Hall 1.5oz Pouch
Burley
Basic otc burley with a hint of cocoa. Worth a try if you like burley blends.
Sutliff - Crumble Kake Red Virginia 1.5oz
Red Virginia
A basic red Virginia, sweet and a little earthy. Good all day smoke. Comes out of the tin in 2 dense blocks, wet and needs some drying time.
Esoterica - Pembroke 2oz
Cognac
Margate with a touch of cognac. Nice English blend drifting into an aromatic. Nice all day smoke if you can get it đ
Cornell & Diehl - Bayou Morning 2oz
Pepper & Spice
A perique lovers dream. If you like pepper and spice, this ones for you!
Sutliff - Molto Dolce 1.5oz
Vanilla
I don't generally like Aromatics, but this one I enjoy. Most taste nothing like the can description or can note. Highly recommended!
Cornell & Diehl - Billy Budd 2oz
Full Flavor
If you want flavor this is the tobacco for you. The Latakia and Cigar Leaf were the stars for me. Some say it is a nicotine bomb, but I haven't noticed that.
Esoterica - Margate 2oz
Nice
One of the easier Esoterica blends to get. An enjoyable oriental blend that is worth the hunt.
Peterson - Nightcap 50g
Latakia is the Star
Love this blend. Latakia is the star component, but is not a Latakia bomb.
Solani - Silver Label - 660 100g
Dark
This tobacco takes on the "darker" qualities of the virginians and Kentucky dark fired. Very enjoyable and a must try.
Peterson - De Luxe Navy Rolls 50g
Peppery
Some folks claim that this is the same as Escudo, but I disagree. I get more flavor and definetly more pepper in Navy Rolls. One of my favorite VaPers.
G. L. Pease - Union Square 2oz
Grassy
From the nose when the can is first opened to the first puff this is a grassy virginia smokers tobacco. Definitely an all day smoke. One that will stay in my rotation.
Cornell & Diehl - Lunchtime Blues 2oz
Blues
Lunchtime Blues gave me the âbluesâ. I donât get much when it comes to flavor. I get some burley, but it is very muted. As I continued to search for flavor, maybe I sense a little Virginia. Maybe it is this Virginia, or Orientals, that dilutes the flavor, but it doesnât add anything, just leaves a bland lackluster taste. The sample I have was pretty dry, burning easily with few, if any, relights. As a conclusion, if I was going to compare this with a beer selection, it would be the âBud Lightâ of burley based tobaccos.
Cornell & Diehl - Haunted Bookshop 2oz
Burley, burley and more burley
Burley, burley and burley (with a little kick of something extra). I found this to be a straight forward burley blend with a touch of perique and virginian. It is simple and uncomplicated.
Hearth & Home - WhiteKnight 1.75oz
Yenidje
Another complex blend with many levels of flavor. The one thing that did stand out consistently for me was the Yenidje. The mild soda note from the Yenidje was there from the char light to the last puff. Very interesting note that I enjoyed, but could see others wouldnât. Additionally, there was the grassy Virginian, always lingering. A delightful smoke that I will most assuredly continue to enjoy.
Mac Baren - Mixture Scottish Blend 3.5oz
Complicated
This is a complicated blend. I have smoked several bowels and still continue to pick up different tastes. The one thing that does stand out for me is the grassy / sour virginian, then the nutty burleys. Not sure what the topping(s) is, but I taste a sweetness I believe goes beyond the tobacco. All in all this is a pleasant mild smoke that could be an all-day smoke. I plan on including this in my normal rotation.
Cult - Blood Red Moon 50g
Cherry Explosion
Cherry explosion! From the char light to the last sip there is cherry flavor. Chocolate is muted until toward the end of the bowl where it slowly creeps up on you. Other than the cherry / chocolate, I got nothing, no tobacco flavors.
Cornell & Diehl - Autumn Evening 2oz
Maple Sweetness
Very pleasant mild all day aromatic. The mild maple sweetness carries through from opening the tin to the last puff. One of the few tobaccos my wife doesn't mind.
Cornell & Diehl - Bijou 2oz
Disappointed
The Katerini was there in the background, but my over whelming first and lasting impression was a grassy sourness. I was looking for the expected sweetness from the Virginias and honey, but it was nowhere to be found. This was the 4th bowl Iâve smoked and my experience has been consistent with my above comments. Additionally, it took several relights to complete the bowel. Maybe aging will bring out more of the hoped for sweetness.
Lane Limited - Ready Rubbed 1.5oz
Nutty
A very simple, mild, straight forward tobacco. The cut and moisture were near perfect for loading the pipe. First impression on lighting up was the nutty burley, followed by a faint hint of chocolate. Towards the end of the bowl the grassy Virginians kicked in just a bit. Never did taste any molasses. This is definitely a mild all day smoke.
Mac Baren - Mixture Scottish Blend
Pleasant
As several reviewers have already stated, this is a complicated blend. I have smoked several bowels and still continue to pick up different tastes. The one thing that does stand out for me is the grassy / sour virginian, then the nutty burleys. Not sure what the topping(s) is, but I taste a sweetness I believe goes beyond the tobacco. All in all this is a pleasant mild smoke that could be an all-day smoke. I plan on including this in my normal rotation.
Seattle Pipe Club - Plum Pudding 2oz
Work In Progress
(Note: After spending sometime with this blend I have increased my rating from a 3 to 4!) Just finished my 2nd bowl. Initial impression is leather earthiness with a strong overture of spicy pepper. I picked up a hint of sweetness in the smell of the smoke, but none in the actual taste. Broke the flake up into small chunks and loose flake. Seemed to have a hard time keeping it lit with several relights. Overall, really enjoyed it. Will need to work on proper consistency for loading.
Dunhill - Early Morning Pipe 50g
Perfect Start of the Day
Dunhill's Early Morning Pipe is as advertised. This blend is mid, pleasant and has a tolerable room note. Could be the perfect start of the day or all day smoke. I definitely will include this in my rotation.
Lane Limited - 1-Q
Rainy Day
Lane Limited 1Q is a mild pleasant aromatic. It would be a great morning (or all day for that matter) smoke. I definitely detected the vanilla, but also picked up a hint of chocolate and possibly honey. This wouldnât be my pick of a fully flavored tobacco, but definitely will smoke again. Note: I find it a perfect fit for this rainy Saturday afternoon.
