Dan Tobacco - Devil's Holiday 50g
Fruit Cake, in a good way.
This is one of those rare tobaccos that actually taste exactly like it smells when you open the tin. It's not exactly like that fruit cake that you dodge every Christmas. Only this time it's delicious. If you're looking for a good sweet and fruity aromatic, you certainly can't go wrong with this one.
Cornell & Diehl - Chocolate Cavendish 2oz
Just no...
It's not a bad tobacco on its own, but besides the chocolate note when you open the tin, It's very bland and basic, and almost no flavor. I tried it again this time in meerschaum just in case i missed something and still, nope. If you really want a good chocolate blend Sutliff dark and silky is still the only chocolate blend that I've had that actually delivers the flavor that you smell when you pop that tin. If you're rating this chocolate blend high, I really suggest you try some others, then come back.
G. L. Pease - Bankside 2oz
Balanced
This was my second of the Zeitgeist blends, and I definitely like it better than Horizons, I think that the Latakia takes more of a background note and enhances the tobacco instead of overpowering it. I really look forward to trying the third in the series.
G. L. Pease - Horizons Flake 2oz
Oriental and Latakia forward.
This is a good solid blend, while the Latakia and the Oriental floral notes dance the line of soap on my palate, It never crosses the line. This is my first of the zetgeist line, can't wait to try the other two.
Sutliff - Christmas Spice
2nd Favorite Christmas Blend
This one is good, it has everything you want to make you feel like the holidays, with an amazing tin and room note. A little bit of spice, a little bit of sweetness, this is a must for Christmas morning.
Ashton - Winding Road 50g
Sweet apricot liqueur
This isn't all that great, but maybe it'll get better with subsequent bowls, or maybe a bigger pipe, I can taste the faint apricot liqueur, but the jury's out, I will update.
Ashton - Smooth Sailing 50g
A little Nutty...
Not a bad blend, but nothing special. I do get a little bit of sweet nuttiness, but if that's what you're looking for, nutty Irishman is better.
Ashton - Guilty Pleasure 50g
Best of Ashton
This one almost reminds me of the Caribbean Blue Line of tobacco, like this is a tropical vacation.
Ashton - Rainy Day 50g
Slightly fruity, with hints of nut.
This isn't something that's going to knock your socks off, but it is a pretty good smoke, nice thick creamy smoke with hints of citrus and a little bit of nuttiness. It's worth buying a tin.
Sillem's - Green 100g
Oh yeah!
If you're looking for a fine tobacco blend that has a little extra flavoring, and you want something tropical, this one's damn good, give it a whirl.
Captain Black - Dark 1.5oz
Oh the Cavendish!
If you want to figure whether you like Cavendish, this is the blend to try. Sweet, smooth, cool and sweet.
Captain Black - Cherry 1.5oz
Cough Syrup
It's not bad, but it's HEAVY on the syrup smell and taste. There are many cherry blends out there i prefer over this one it was also a little bitey.
Cornell & Diehl - Riverboat Gambler 2oz
Gotta know when to hold em
This plan was flavorful, yet cleaning crisp. It smoked cool and smooth, despite being how dry it was out of the tin. This is easily a nice all day midsummer smoke.
Warped - Saint Espresso 2oz
Saint of Coffee
While this is the best coffee blend I've tried so far, I was hoping to get just a little more actual coffee flavor out of it, still a very good, smooth smoke.
Cornell & Diehl - Corn Cob Pipe and A Button Nose Ready Rubbed 2oz
Great for a cold winter's day.
If you want to come inside from being out playing in the snow and want to nice hot cup of cocoa with some marshmallows, this is your blend. That's exactly what you're going to get. Fantastic.
Cornell & Diehl - Afternoon Delight 2oz
Nothing Special
It's a decent smoke and it'll get the job done, but there's just nothing that really stands out. A little bit of burly and some Virginia take the cake with just a little bit of Latakia at the end.
Cornell & Diehl - Autumn Evening 2oz
Vanilla and Maple
This is pretty good, I'd put it up there with some of the other vanilla, caramel or maple aromatics that I've tried, nice easy smoke didn't come in to goopy, it lit and stayed lit and was fantastic.
Cornell & Diehl - Milk & Honey: Halav U' Duash 2oz
Decent smoke, but plain
Nothing particularly wrong with this, it's a decent smoke, but nothing really stands out about it.
Cornell & Diehl - White Lightning 2oz
Bring the thunder!
I'm not sure what to make of this blend, it's got a little bit of like citrusy zing to it, it lights easy and stays lit, smokes cool, it has an interesting profile, the farther down the bull you get the more I tend to like it. UPDATE: I'm bumping this up to five, the more you smoke it the more you start picking up that little bit of a sweet raspberry flavor, in no way whatsoever is it overpowering, it's just there and it's delightful.
Cornell & Diehl - Cross-Eyed Cricket 2oz
It'll make you cross-eyed!
This stuff is fantastic, you get the rum right off the bat, it smoked a little hot for me, but it had plenty of smoke and flavor, it was an easy light and stay lit. It made my entire mouth tingly, and it mentally a little light-headed by the end of the bowl. I feel like this is a must.
Kopp - Bellamy 50g
2nd Best!
After trying all six of these, this one is almost like a 7up or a Sprite soda, but in a really good way. I would say that it gives you that tropical vacation feel and a second only to the Drake.
Kopp - Wynne 50g
Skippable
I've tried all six of these, this one is hands down my least favorite. There's nothing particularly wrong with it It just doesn't have that tropical vacation kind of flavor or vibe to it like the others do.
Sillem's - Black 100g
Not for me, maybe you?
So this blend did what a lot of Latakia blends do, smelled like potpourri when you open the tin And then just a little too much floral and soapiness for me. It's not bad but it's certainly not something I'm going to reach for when I want to smoke.
Larsen - 1864 Perfect Mixture 100g
Just... Yum.
It's weird that I can't quite pick out a certain flavor of the ones listed, but they all work together in unison to create a really good tobacco. It has a wonderful tin and room note. This is an easygoing all day smoke.
Peterson - University Flake 50g
Dry Time...
The flavor is good on this but I had a hell of a time getting it to light and stay lit. I had to unpack the bowl and let it dry first and then it ran fine. Good smoke, but there's so many options out there I don't know if this one was worth the effort.
Peterson - Royal Yacht 50g
Royal for a reason!
This pipe tobacco was surprisingly good. Nice Virginia with some sweetness and a little surprise of flavor about halfway through. This might be one of my new favorites.
Cornell & Diehl - Eight State Burley 2oz
Good Starter Burley
Nothing overpowering or surprising, a nice even smoke that I feel is a good entry to see whether or not you like Burley. This is one you can smoke all day long.
Cornell & Diehl - Sun Bear Tupelo 2oz
Fantastically Honey
So far out of the various honey blends that I've tried, this one actually hits the mark. You got nice beautiful Virginia just underneath a sweet honey, but not overpowering flavor. Super glad that I still have two tins of this.
Cornell & Diehl - Pegasus
Burly Man!
So this is an amazing blend, you definitely get the nuttiness and woodiness from the Burley, but it smokes softer and smoother than most other blends I've had. This is one of those that you can just sit there and puff away on all day if you wanted.
Seattle Pipe Club - Plum Pudding 2oz
Better than their Bourbon
I like this, compared to the Bourbon barrel which I had first, I prefer this original. It has a nice floral note to it without ever going over to the soapy side. This is a pleasant all day smoke.
Seattle Pipe Club - Hogshead Bourbon Barrel Aged 2oz
Bourbon you say?
I would say that this is better than the plum pudding bourbon barrel, if you're looking for something that has that slight bourbon flavor on the end. Beyond that the Virginia leaf is pretty good, about what you would expect, overall very enjoyable.
Sillem's - Red 100g
Cherry? Yes please!
This is a superb cherry blend, with hints of apple. You really get a taste the tobacco, and it's good, and you get just enough of the cherry and the apple fruit to really have something special. I would much rather have this over any other cherry blend I've tried so far.
Sillem's - Blue 100g
Fantastic Fruit
This is a pretty decent tobacco anyway, but that lime that little bit of citrus and fruit make this really special. It smoked nice and slow, was happy to stay right above smoldering, light to medium smoke, was cool with no tongue bite. This one's a keeper.
Rattray's - Exotic Passion 100g
Ooooh MY!!
I just smoked my first bowl of this, all I have to say is this might be my absolute favorite fruit based aromatic. The tin note is too die for and that carries right over to flavor and room smell 😍. Don't question it, just but it!
Mac Baren - 7 Seas Gold
2nd Favorite 7 Seas
I love this nice cool smoke come on with just a little bit of sweetness along with a good tobacco. This is my second favorite behind the Dark.
Mac Baren - 7 Seas Red
Cherry with Tongue Bite
This smells cherry, and does taste slightly cherry, but I can't get around the tongue bite. I've had several other cherry blends that are just far better.
Mac Baren - 7 Seas Royal
Not for me, tongue bite.
I'm not sure what's going on with this planet, but I got some really bad tongue bite from it. The flavor overall is okay but I can't get past the tongue bite.
Mac Baren - 7 Seas Black
Delicious!
This is a nice smooth blend with hints of vanilla and chocolate adding to the sweetness of it. I could easily smoke this all day, everyday and be happy with it.
Mac Baren - 7 Seas Regular
Solid blend
There's nothing wrong with this bland at all, it's balanced, has good flavor and aroma, but there's also nothing that really stands out or excites me. However this is something you could just puff away on all day.
Sutliff - Maple Street 1.5oz
Not quite maple syrup...
If you want a nice sweet easy smoking tobacco, but you don't want vanilla, this is probably going to be for you. You definitely get the maple notes, especially the room smell. Give it a whirl.
Sutliff - Eastfarthing 1.5oz
I'm going on an adventure!!
You want a nice easy smoking and sweet tobacco without being super aromatic vanilla kind of sweet, this is it. You can smoke this all day long and the aroma and the room smell is just fantastic.
Sutliff - Pipe Force Episode V 1.75oz
Pipe Force!!! 🫡
Number five is my favorite of the bunch, followed by number two. For me the Virginia and the Cavendish really nail it in this blend. I also started getting like just a little bit of bitter cocoa about halfway through. I will say though I don't think you can go wrong with any of the five that are out right now. Try them all.
Sutliff - Pipe Force Episode VI 1.75oz
Not bad!
A little bit of dark berry on the nose, but just a fine blend. Not my favorite of the bunch, just a hint too much spice for me. But solid, this entire line has been good.
Sutliff - Pipe Force Episode II 1.75oz
Yummy Latakia
So far I have tried 1, 2 and 4. This one is my favorite of those three, but I still have 5 and 6 waiting for me. It has a nice spicy floral aroma and taste, without going soapy like some Latakia tend to do. Give it a whirl.
Sutliff - Pipe Force Episode IV 1.75oz
Balanced and pleasant
This is a balanced and pleasant, while enjoyable bland, it is little basic and boring for me. I enjoyed it.
Sutliff - Pipe Force Episode I 1.75oz
Balanced
This is just a nice good blend, nothing really stand out or overly impressive but enjoyable. I look forward to trying episode two.
Cornell & Diehl - Mocha 2oz
Exactly as described!
If you want a little bit of a coffee with a little bit of a chocolate, this is it, it came across wonderfully. Smooth and mild like most Cavendish is, I think you'll like it.
Cornell & Diehl - Berry Good 2oz
Decent fruit blend.
I was hoping for a little bit more upfront fruity notes, but this was soft and pleasant, definitely worth the smoke.
Falcon - Bulldog Rusticated
Classic bulldog.
This one works really well with a straight stem Falcons, it's a nice classic shape and still fits good in the hand.
Falcon - Billiard Smooth
Nice taller option.
This one's a good option for the bent shank Falcon pipes, it's a little bit taller and I think that the counterweight works well with the bend.
Falcon - Apple Rusticated
Great bowl option!
I like this little guy, it's wider and fatter than the base on the Falcon stem, but it really fits good in your hand. Smokes great too.
Falcon - Twisted Stem Yellow
Fly Falcon, Fly!
Honestly these pipes are some of the best bang for the buck outside of a corn cob. You won't be disappointed!
Falcon - Bent Stem M/P Chrome
Fly to Paradise!
Honestly these pipes are some of the best bang for the buck outside of a corn cob. I like this bent shank because it allows you to get a taller bowl while still having good balance while clenching. You won't be disappointed!
Falcon - Twisted Stem Red
Fly Falcon, Fly!
Honestly these pipes are some of the best bang for the buck outside of a corn cob. You won't be disappointed!
Sutliff - Eastfarthing 1.5oz
I'm going on an adventure!
Whether you're taking your morning puff while doing chores in the Shire or taking a step through Middle-Earth, this blend will be a trustworthy companion.
Sillem's - Mayor 1814 Flake 50g
Orange Spice Tea
I wasn't sure what to make of this at first, but then it started to kind of open up, probably want to smoke this one a little slower. If you've ever had Stash Orange Spice, that's exactly what you're going to get. Nice mellow Virginia tobacco with just a hint of sweetness and orange blossom on the tail end. This is really good.
Sutliff - Z88 Maple Walnut
Sweet Walnut
For me I get more of the walnut and just overall nut flavor, with a little bit of sweetness on the back end. I was hoping more for like a glazed walnut, but this isn't bad at all. I find that smaller shorter little sips, rather than a full puff, provide more flavor. Goes good with some cold water, but better with a lager.
Prince Albert - Prince Albert 14oz
Just like Grandpa!
The only reason that I'm giving this tobacco three stars, considering there are so many other faithful recreations that are better, is because I will always remember being a little kid in the '80s and my grandpa used this to roll his own cigarettes. The smell and aroma just brings me back to being a kid.
Kopp - Seegar 50g
Skippable...
Of all of the Caribbean Blue line, this is my least favorite. I don't really get much of any of the fruit notes that the other blends have, this is absolutely one that I won't buy again.
Kopp - Rackham 50g
Nice and Sweet
Of the various Caribbean Blue, the Drake is still the best, however this one still has an amazing aroma and a nice fruity sweetness to it, it just is a little lighter on the flavor but it does seem to smoke a little cooler. I'll likely buy this one again when I'm out.
Kopp - Graham 50g
Nutty and Fruity
So this blend is heavier on the nut note, and on my palate, overpowers the subtle fruit notes, though they're sweetness is still present. However the aroma is every bit of strong as the tin. It's a decent smoke but if you want to try one of the Caribbean Blue, get the Drake.
Iwan Ries - Three Star Blue 1.5oz
The Classic Smoke
This is right up there with Prince Albert, half and half, 1-Q and all the other classic aromatics. I will say though it does have a little bit more of a bite to it. Overall very enjoyable.
Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Bob's Chocolate Flake 50g
Bar of Soap...
Maybe I got a bad batch, but I didn't smell any chocolate whatsoever when I opened the tin which was sealed VERY well by the way. It's just floral and spice. That opinion did not change after smoking it. It honestly tasted like I bit into a floral bar of soap. I got no chocolate and I got no sweetness. Maybe I got a bad batch, but that seems unlikely given the brand. Absolutely not for me.
Sutliff - Tobacco Galleria: Rum & Maple
I mean, kind of.
The tin note is absolutely sugar rum with a nice compliment of rum. However while smoking, I get a little bit of the rum, but I'm not getting any of the maple. I feel both flavors are rather subtle. It is a nice cool smoke with no tongue bite, I just wish I was getting more of the maple and the rum, which would make sense, given the name.
Sutliff - Panna Cotta 1.5oz
Simply The Best Vanilla
I used to really like their Molto Dolce, but this is better. In fact this might be my favorite Sutliff aromatic now. If you're going through these reviews and thinking should I get this or not, just do it, you're going to like it.
Cornell & Diehl - Black Cherry
BRM Contender!
I’m partial black Cavendish and sweet smells. This checks both boxes. Smooth, black Cavendish, great hints of cherry, but deeper and richer than BRM. There is a slight cocoa kind of back on the end of this, but the cherry is the real star. If you like BRM give this a try.
Cornell & Diehl - Apricots and Cream
I had high hopes...
It vaguely smells of apricot when you open the tin, but the flavor come and goes throughout the bowl. There's a slight sweetness and a slight apricot in the middle 1/3 of the bowl and a little bit towards the end, but it's inconsistent. If you're looking for something fruity and creamy, try PS Peaches and Cream, that'll most likely hit the spot. This isn't isn't bad, but i won't but it again.
Cornell & Diehl - Strawberry Cavendish
Skip It...
I decided to try this blend because I've had other C&D tobaccos that were fantastic and I really liked Sutliff Strawberry Delight. I honestly don't really taste any strawberry, or sweetness, in fact there's only a slight aroma of strawberry when you open the tin. If you're looking for strawberry, this isn't it, go over and get yourself some Sutliff Strawberry Delight. I'm disappointed I wasted my money on this one, which is something I've never said with a C&D tobacco before.
Lane Limited - Black Raspberry
Light and Fruity
So this won't knock your socks off with blackberry fruit if that's what you're hoping. It is however nice and easy, and smooth with no bite. Definitely has blackberry on the nose with some sweetness on the tongue. With that said it's very pleasurable, if you're worried about it tasting super artificial or syrupy, have no fear. I feel like this one really got good about halfway through and the last 1/3 was really good. On my next smoke with this, I might mix it 50/50 with a vanilla blend and see if something magical happens.
John Aylesbury - Dragon Flake 50g
Give it half a bowl.
So the first half of this was nothing special, and I was kind of disappointed and then about a 1/3 of the way through, something started to happen. By the 1/2 away point, it got really good. Not so much on the honey or vanilla, but just a little bit of like slightly burnt caramel in the back. Overall this ended up being a pretty darn good bowl of tobacco. I'm not sure I would buy it again but I am glad that I tried it.
Kopp - Drake 50g
Banana Bread Anyone?
I don't get a lot of the vanilla or the pineapple, on the nose and on the palate, I feel it's much more banana forward. Maybe they're all playing together but to me this just tastes like banana bread. It's not overly fragrant and it's not syrupy or artificially tasting, It just comes across like banana bread, which I love.
Cornell & Diehl - Pirate Kake 2oz
Yo Ho Ho, It's a Pirate's Kake for me!
This is amazing, up to this point Mixture 965 was my favorite English blend, but this thing is smoother, creamier and smokes cooler. This is the clear winner. Believe the hype.
Peter Stokkebye - PS303 Peaches & Creme
Delightful and Delicate
While this is the only peach blend I've tried, I think it's really good. The peach comes through without being too sweet or overpowering and the cream part balances it while giving you a nice thick fluffy smoke. This is going to be a perfect blend for some nice peach iced tea in the summer. If you're thinking about whether or not this is for you, just try it.
Cobblestone - Indulge Creme Brulee 1.5oz
Where's the Creme?!
I feel like I got completely suckered into buying this. I've tried other creme brulee blends and have been a really big fan of vanilla blends, caramel blends and honey blends, this one completely falls flat on any of that. All I'm tasting is a tobacco, almost like Peterson EMP, I get no sweetness, no caramel, no honey, no vanilla, nothing... Awesome mine showed up nowhere near as wet as anybody else who's reviewing this, it was ready to smoke. With all that said, this is one that I wish I could have avoided and will not buy again.
Captain Black - Royal 1.5oz
Royal for a reason.
Definitely better than the original, but not as good as the platinum. It's clean, it's crisp, it's light and enjoyable, but lacks any real distinction or personality. However since you can get it just about anywhere, not a bad standby if you want something you know won't let you down when you're out and about.
Cornell & Diehl - Green River Vanilla
Vanilla you say?
I've had C&D blends that were fantastic. I've had vanilla blends that were fantastic. This isn't one of them. There's a slight vanilla aroma, but I'm just not getting the flavor. I'm not sure where it falls flat, maybe it just doesn't smoke well in the pipe that I chose this evening, maybe I need to smoke another bowl or two to really figure it out, but at this point in time, this is probably one of the lightest, most disappointing vanilla blends I've had. Unless this just shines in a different bowl size and shape or gets better with subsequent bowls, I won't be buying this one again.
Cornell & Diehl - Haunted Bookshop 2oz
If you like Burley and a big nicotine hit, this is it!
I think it has very good overall flavor, subsequent bowls are better, the first could be a little mute. Definitely had more nicotine content than I was expecting, probably should have ate some lunch first. If you want a nice burley forward tobacco blend, give this one I try.
Sutliff - Buttered Rum
Clean, Crisp Smoke
If you're looking for something that's clean, crisp and has almost no aftertasting your mouth, this is it. The buttered rum is definitely in the aroma, but very light on flavor in the mouth. I would say that it starts off a little light for the first third of the bowl, really comes alive in the middle and then kind of dissipates again during the last 3rd. If you're expecting Lifesavers buttered rum, you're not going to get it. This is a very nice, easy and enjoyable smoke though.
Peterson - Early Morning Pipe 50g
Yes, it's an English...
There's nothing particularly wrong with this one, but if you want a Peterson English blend, their nightcap is better and their Mixture 965 is even better than that. I don't see myself buying another tin of this.
Peterson - My Mixture 965 50g
If you want an English, look no further.
Of the various English blends I've tried, this one seems to come out on top. Full body and flavor and aroma, almost transports you back to a simpler time. I'm going to have to get a pound of this.
Sutliff - SPS-2003 Strawberry Delight
Favorite "fruit" blend.
While it's true that this is a little light on the strawberry aroma and flavor, I find it very easy and pleasant, there's zero tongue bite and you definitely get a little bit of a strawberry aftertaste. The real star is the way the strawberry gently fills the room like an old scratch and sniff sticker. I think this one really comes down to having a nice clean palate and a glass of water while you smoke.
Sutliff - Duke Albert
The Price is dead, long live the Duke!
So if you smoke and like Prince Albert, you need to try this one, it's smoother, smokes cooler and has all the flavor and aroma, but in the end it's just better.
Captain Black - Platinum 1.5oz
Sweet, easy smoking.
When I first opened this, it smelled very similar to the Peterson Sweet Killarney, I have to say that I think this smokes about the same though it's a little smoother and a little lighter on the flavor, but overall pretty good and might have to replace the Peterson sweet Killarney.
Cornell & Diehl - Nutty Irishman 2oz
Easy Smoking
If you're trying to transition away from aromatics towards just a nice fine tobacco, I think this is a good jumping point to get your taste buds and your pallete ready. This is smooth almost no bite with just a little bit of tingling in the mouth. Beautiful easy smoke.
Sutliff - J12 - Chocolate Truffle
Hmmm, What Chocolate?
So there's just a hint of chocolate as an under note. But not enough to be like oh yeah that's chocolate. Almost like a hot chocolate where you put way too much water in it and not enough powder and you should have used milk instead. If you really want a chocolate explosion, you need to try the Sutliff dark and silky, that one will give you the chocolate you're looking for.
Sutliff - Dark and Silky 1.5oz
Lindts Truffles Anyone?
Sutliff Dark and Silky, which if you've ever wondered what it would be like to smoke a Lindts dark chocolate truffle, this is it, if you like chocolate, I feel like this one's a must. A little update after trying six different chocolate blends so far, this one is still King.
Missouri Meerschaum - Missouri Malta 1.5oz
If you like vanilla, TRY IT!
Lately I've been gravitating towards vanilla blends, whether it's caramel or honey or nougat, but this is just a vanilla on vanilla on vanilla blend, and if vanilla is what you're looking for this is absolutely it. It was a little moist and took a bit to get lit but once it did I only had one relight through the whole bowl. Fantastic, I'm going to have to keep a jar of this around.
Lane Limited - LL-7
Yes please!
It's pretty much as advertised, light and fluffy, I'm starting to think that Lane Limited just is the best brand around, everything I've tried from them has been great.
Lane Limited - RLP-6
Don't think about it, just order it!
So after trying a bunch of different vanilla blends from different manufacturers, I had someone recommend this. I have to say it is probably my new favorite tobacco. It is light, creamy, fluffy almost cloud-like in your mouth. The flavor is like a more upscale 1-Q. It's just fantastic, don't hesitate.
Dan Tobacco - Sweet Vanilla Honeydew 50g
Well... Hmmm...
I really was hoping for more on this one. The vanilla is light as is the honey. It's very soft and mild, I was hoping for more of the vanilla and honey punch. It's not bad, and I'll gladly smoke the rest of what I ordered, but this will not be when I get again.
Peter Stokkebye - PS24 Nougat
Fantastic
So the vanilla and chocolate kind of mix end up tasting like a toffee to me, which is very pleasant. If you like vanilla blends I feel like this one's pretty much a must.
Sutliff - Z92 Vanilla Custard
A nice vanilla blend
I usually smoke the Sutliff Creme Brulee or Sutliff Molto Dolce, I feel that this one falls right square between those two. If you like either one of those two you're going to like this one as well. I think it's a little sweeter, just a hint more vanilla, overall very enjoyable. I will say though, if you have a fruit blend like a strawberry or a cherry or a peach that you're not particularly fond of, go half and half with this custard and watch both of them get a little better.
Lane Limited - 1-Q
My Favorite Non-Sweet
This is my favorite tobacco right now of the non-vanilla and sweet blends that I have. It's solid and the best part is, a lot of shops sell this exact tobacco under their own label, and a lot of people don't even know it.
Cult - Blood Red Moon 50g
Give A Try
So I didn't like this the first time I had it, I got some of the sweetness but I didn't pick up much of the cherry. Then I had a second bowl a week later and more of the cherry came through. I did a third bowl another week later and finally I got what people were talking about. I think this comes in a little wet and he just needs to let it dry out a bit before you smoke it. But if you want a cherry blend, this is the one. On the upside, you can always cut it 50/50 with a nice vanilla blend and watch it turn into something great.
Seattle Pipe Club - Plum Pudding Bourbon Barrel Aged 2oz
Tobacco and Bourbon
This is an interesting smoke. It almost smells like a nice beef jerky when you open the can. And I get a lot of that oaky bourbon flavor In the smoke, but again with almost a beef jerky kind of smell. It's interesting, but it's good, especially if you pair it with a nice oaky bourbon.
Peterson - Old Dublin 50g
An English Favorite
If you're looking for just a good English tobacco flavor, without the fuss and fancy flavors, this is it. Coming from the world of cigars, this one reminds me of why I like them. I think their Mixture 965 is still the best though.
Peterson - Hyde Park 50g
Just Basic
This blend is just like a light easy tasting tobacco, nothing fantastic or special, but it does the job. An easy transition if you're moving from cigars into pipes.
Missouri Meerschaum - Great Dane 1.5oz
Sweet Fruit
If you're looking for something with a little bit of cherry, that never goes close to becoming a cough syrup like some people say BRMC is, This is it. Hints of cherry and vanilla and just overall sweetness for a nice cool pleasurable smoke. It does tend to be a little moist, let it dry out a little bit, but this is the best thing for the buck.
Sutliff - Molto Dolce 1.5oz
Sweet and Delicious
This is my second favorite vanilla based blend. It's definitely on the sweeter side and the vanilla comes through, the only show I have with this is it tends to come a lot wetter and moisture than most tobacco's, you definitely want to let it dry out a little before you smoke it. Other than that, it's fantastic.
Peterson - Sunset Breeze 50g
Easy Evening Smoke
This one's not really for me, it's almost a little too easy smoking, maybe a little bland, but it is just a lighter easier blend after a long day of work.
