Tabac De La Semois - Reserve du Patron 3.5oz
Totally Surprised!
I usually do not smoke burley tobacco however bought this based on reviews. I thought it would be my last try on burley until I fired it up today in a small chambered Stanwell pipe packed tight as recommended. Blew me away. Clean, pure, and as described by others unique flavor of light floral maybe cigarish. Just totally enjoyed the hell out of it. I had to slow my cadence with small sips as I felt the nicotine kicking in. For my palette a fantastical smoke!

Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation - 1982 Centennial Blend 1.4oz
Great Aero!
This is just a great flavorful smoke. Blackberry and vanilla as promised with no tongue bite that still retains tobacco flavor. A must try for Aero smokers as well as English who want to mix it up for a change of pace. Highly recommend.

Prince Albert - Prince Albert 14oz
Not for me
. Hopefully I have not turned into a tobacco snob. I will just continue with my Seattle plum Pudding Special Rerve and Pirate Kake. with Seven Seas Regular. That is what my palate enjoys.

Seattle Pipe Club - Plum Pudding Special Reserve 4oz
Fantastic plug
Smoked one bowl and immediately ordered three more tins. I find I enjoy this plug more than the flack. Wow factor for me. Taste and smoothness definitely won me over.

Kramer's - Father Dempsey 50g
Perfect
Perfect English blend for me. Great tasting easy to load blend that is smooth and not harsh. I'm good to end my English blend journey and just enjoy a few times of this blend. This is the only blend I will buy in bulk in future orders.

Cornell & Diehl - Bayou Morning
Confirmed my suspicion
After reading reviews and cautions I smoked in a small bowl German clay pipe with tripadadions. However blend confirmed my suspicion I am a perique lover. Took my time with easy cadence and enjoyed thouruly. A must try on any tobacco journey!

Mac Baren - Vanilla Roll Cake 3.5oz
Great Aromatic for any palette.
This is such a great satisfying smoke. Very rich vanilla with no bite that is such a great smoke to enjoy. I missed the boat and should have ordered more. Will definitely buy again in more quantity when available. A must try for any palette.

Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Ennerdale Flake 50g
Not for me
Tobacco very good I just fall into the camp in which the taste was not appealing to me. I agree with previous reviewers, you either love or hate this blend. I’ll stick with the chocolate blend which I am very much enjoying.

Seattle Pipe Club - Plum Pudding 2oz
I get the hype
For me this is a smooth very enjoyable English blend. Very complex that anyone could and should try. No hype, just a great smoking English that I will buy again.

Dan Tobacco - Devil's Holiday 50g
Great Aromatic!
Sitting on my back porch enjoying DH in a lightly packed a German clay pipe. Hell of a good blend!

Mac Baren - 7 Seas Regular 3.5oz
Fantastic blend
This is my stuck on island with one tobacco choice. This is an all day smoke that I keep finding myself going back to. Although I have tried many other blends this is the one for me.

Amazing
Amazing blend! My journey may be over for finding my perfect tobacco blend...I never thought I would find such a heavy Latakia blend with so much flavor. Trust the reviews on this one.

Very nice
Found this to be a very pleasant blend. Took a break from the aeromatics I was sampling. What a great smoke after a stressful day of work..great flavor profile I will continue enjoy.

Sutliff - Molto Dolce 1.5oz
Great change up
This has been a great change up. I knew what I was getting into after reading reviews. Actually enjoying more than I thought I would. Packed light in a small bowl and smoked with a gentle low cadence. Highly recommend for a change of pace.
