Reviews
Drew Estate - Undercrown Sun Grown Coronets
Just alright
Not my favorite cigar, has great mechanics, but has a one note flavor. Spicy.
Lighters - Peterson Silver Stripe Pipe Lighter
Awesome
This lighter is awesome! Works great, protects your rim, and holds butane very well without any leaks. I fill mine up once every few months.
Cornell & Diehl - Black Frigate 2oz
Rum
Delicious sweet rum, with some complex Smokey undertones. A very satisfying smoke.
Peterson - Flake 50g
Real good
This flake is perfect. Smoking mechanics are great, stays lit very easily. Flavor is of freshly baked bread with caramel. I’m going to cellar this blend, I’m sure it’ll get better with age. My current tin is only a year and a half old.
Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies - Halcyon II Wax 1oz
Good stuff
This will keep your favorite sandblasted and rusticated pipes looking brand new. Easy to apply, easy to buff with a microfiber cloth and some good old fashioned elbow grease!
Bengal Slices - Bengal Slices 1.75oz
Plum pudding?
To my inexperienced taste, this taste very much like Seattle Pipe Clubs plum pudding, with a slightly sweeter taste. Beautiful, fragrant orientals impart a nice incense aroma, while the Latakia imparts the typical camp fire smoke. The black cavendish and Virginia’s seem to add sweetness to the blend.
Missouri Meerschaum - Great Dane 1.5oz
Very good
This is a very good aromatic, right up there with Lane 1Q. This one has a nice cherry vanilla taste/room notes. Just like mommas homemade cherry pie.
Seattle Pipe Club - Plum Pudding 2oz
Decent but not my favorite
Not a bad smoke, but I enjoy White Knight, Father Dempsey , My Mixture 965, and quiet knights when I’m in the mood for an English blend.
Kramer's - Father Dempsey
Ages well
This blend is a good smoke fresh, but with some age on it, this blend is pure bliss to smoke. The Virginia’s and orientals age to perfection, taking on a sweet and Smokey profile. Pleasant aftertaste, very low nicotine level in my opinion.
Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies - Paragon Wax 1oz
Great shine
Gives pipes a great shine, after buffing with a microfiber towel.
Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies - B. J. Long Churchwarden Pipe Cleaners (32 pack)
Good enough
Good enough for my AKB meerschaum churchwarden.
Tampers & Tools - Rubber Pipe Bits (2 pack)
Phenomenal
These pipe bits are a must with acrylic stems. So much easier to clench using these. They do have a slightly rubbery taste the first few times you use them, but that dissipates quickly. I have one on every pipe I own.
Tobacco Jars - Neerup Leather Tobacco Mat
Beautiful
This is an awesome addition to my pipe set up. I use this mat to rub out flakes in style. Also works great for catching tobacco that falls out while loading your bowl, making clean up simple and easy, while saving every last piece of your tobacco to enjoy on your next bowl.
Tampers & Tools - Czech Pipe Tool
Perfection
This is the best pipe tool out there for the price. Buy a few to have some extras.
Stands & Pouches - Woodmere Long 6 Pipe Stand Teak
Great value
Great value for the price. Doesn’t hold bigger pipes well, like the savinelli 320 ks for example. I have to turn my savinelli sideways and place it on the end of the rack for other pipes to fit. My 303 Peterson also fights for room amongst my other briars. For the price though, it works great.
Filters & Adaptors - Adsorba 9mm Filters (30 pack)
They work
Good, but not the best. If white elephants are available I’m going for the elephants.
Filters & Adaptors - White Elephant 9mm Charcoal Filters (40 Count)
Best 9mm filter
These are the best filters I’ve had the Pleasure of smoking through. Excellent draw, provides for a dry, cool smoke. I’ve tried Adsorba, and stanwell filters, these are better.
Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies - Blitz Pipe Cleaners (80 pack)
Best in class
Hands down, the absolute best pipe cleaners on the market. Stock up now!
Hearth & Home - WhiteKnight 1.75oz
Sweet incense
This blend is in my top 5 tobaccos. Sweet incense bliss. Pleasant aftertaste. This and Kramers Father Dempsey are my favorite Balkan blends. This blend is a little tough to keep lit, but it’s a very pleasant smoke.
Sutliff - Cringle Flake 2020 1.5oz
Aged VaPer
No artificial toppings here, pure fruity, bready, sweet VaPer goodness in a fun Christmas inspired tin. I find the partial cavendishing of the Virginia’s, imparts a slightly toast flavored twist to a timeless VaPer. What’s not to love?
Capstan - Flake Blue 1.75oz
J.R.R Tolkien had good taste
Very good Virginia flake. Smokes great folded and stuffed or rubbed out. Taste of hay, and freshly baked bread, with a hint of raisin. Beautifully presented flakes, and the room note is very nice also. Buy some now! You won’t regret it.
Peterson - My Mixture 965 50g
Better with age
I bought a tin shortly after these blends were re-released. Wasn’t too impressed, until I jarred it up, and let it sit for about 6 months or so. Wow, did the tobacco improve with age. In addition to the wonderful toasty sweet taste, this blend has excellent smoking mechanics, with few relights. One of my new favorites for sure!
Lane Limited - 1-Q
The bud light of tobacco
This is the quintessential aromatic that non smokers remember. Vanilla room note, and a sweet retrohale. In my opinion, it’s not the best tobacco, but it’s definitely not the worst. Its the bud light of tobacco. Millions of people can’t be wrong. Order some, and keep it in stock always for public smokes around friends or coworkers.
Cornell & Diehl - Autumn Evening
Crowd pleaser
This blend is a great aromatic. Butterscotch pancakes on the retrohale, and the room note will have bystanders flocking in for a whiff. I would venture to say, this is one of my favorite aromatics. Definitely a desert blend to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Cornell & Diehl - Sunset Harbor Flake 2oz
Better with age
I did not care for this blend initially, I preferred GL pease Westminster, and kramers father Dempsey, but after about a year of age, this blend is phenomenal. Surprisingly sweet and tangy, slightly spicy, with some smokiness. I’m definitely stocking up on this one.
Stands & Pouches - Smokingpipes Leather 2 Pipe Case with Pouch Tan
Great Value
This pipe pouch easily fits two pipes, savinelli billiard, and a Peterson 303 system. Or two 303 system pipes. Tobacco pouch isn’t really that small, unless you’re smoking like a chimney. I could probably fit about an ounce of tobacco in the tobacco pouch, along with two pipes, lighter and tamper. This is a great overall value!
Cornell & Diehl - Speakeasy Navy Blend 2oz
Real good
I can’t put my finger on what makes this blend so dang good. But it is definitely one of my favorites.
G. L. Pease - Westminster 2oz
Awesome go to English
This blend is awesome, Smokey (Latakia) with sweet/incense/spice from the orientals coming to the forefront throughout the smoke. A good Balkan blend, very similar to White Knight. Although I do prefer White Knight over this blend.
