Peterson - Elizabethan Mixture 50g
it's ok
seems like I'm not a fan of blends where virginia is dominant, don't sense much of perique but it's not bad. high on nicotine, I think heaviness of this blend is between medium and high

Balkan Sasieni - Balkan Sasieni 50g
WOW just WOW
AMAZING blend, latakia is noticable and very creamy, I like that it is present and unlike some blends this blend didn't leave me unsatisfied with it's quantity and proportion. orientals play slightly less noticable role and come into play very smoothly and pleasantly. virginias leave some sweetness and grassiness but they aren't not overwhelming or shadowing other components. enjoyed this blend very much. heavy and rich in flavor, yet the smoke and nic is pretty smooth and light.

CAO - Eileen's Dream 50g
very good aromatic
tastes great, smokes well and burns consistently. flavour thoughout the bowl is pretty consistent aswell. if you're into aromatic you're gonna love it. sweet, chocolaty, it's like baileys in a smoke shape. reminds me of old toby/molto dolce sometimes. I recommend for you to try this tobacco if you like sweet tobaccos.

Tampers & Tools - Pipe Nail
great for the price
super cheap, comfortable to use, OK quality. seems like it's hollow on the inside, that makes the tamper quite light (weight wise). it'd be more comfortable if the tamping side would be round instead of rectangular but it's still good

Half and Half - Half and Half 1.5oz
It's $4 so it's OK
for the price this tobacco is pretty good. but overall it won't rock you off your chair. I sense little presence of anise or/and other spices but it's not too straight forward, I'd say that favourvise it reminds me of rum/bourbon more. It's that drug store type of tobacco which is always OK, not too bad, not too good. I don't think I'll order more but you can give it a try. very similar to the sutliff christmas spice and great outdoors. also the tin note is almost identical to the Savinelli essenza capriota. it also tastes kinda like amaretto sometimes

Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Ennerdale Flake 50g
Pretty good.
Not to heavy on toppings, not too sweet. Vanilla is present but mostly herbal and flowery tastes are noticeable for me

Sutliff - Burma Road
Tasty
Reminds me of Eastfarthing. Overall a great tobacco! Sweet, natural flavors are still pronounced well. Allday smoke. One of my fav for sure

Sutliff - SPS-17 Lavish English
Brilliant!!!!!!
Soft? YES tasty? YES sweet? Kinda and still the natural flavors are present. Great tobacco definitely one of my TOP favorite

Sutliff - Great Outdoors 1.5oz
Tasty
When opened tin nite is similar to whiskey and some spices ( anise), not too try, neither too wet just the way I like it. Pretty soft, it’s not too heavy also not heavy on toppings and aromatic stuff. Similar to Molto dolce but softer and less sweetness. Come in chunks / crumble

Savinelli - Essenza Cipriota 100g
Fruity
Al lot like Petersons Sunset breeze, fruity, but not sweet. Reminds of fruity wine, dried fruits, little sourness ( similar to bread or some bakery). Has some characteristics of an English but not too much Latakia. Virginias are noticable pretty well. Definitely an English-Aromatic. Good tobacco, but nothing too amazing. I rate it a solid 7/10 or maybe even 8.

Peterson - Early Morning Pipe 50g
Keeps calling back
First time I smoked it, nothing special… second time - same, third time - same and so on… the thing is that this blend keeps calling you back, even though at one look there’s nothing special or extraordinary, but it actually is a pretty good blend which will leave you wanting more of it. Came a little dry, just rehydrated it and now it’s great.

Vauen - Auenland 50g
Tin note is a bomb!!!
Tin note is extremely good and strong, whole room smells great now. Unlike the tin note taste itself can’t be described as a bomb… pretty soft and sweet, with some notes of peach, oranges ( more sweet, not sour), maybe even some strawberries or cherry. A lot like Petersons blends, in terms of both taste and behavior. Personally I didn’t detect any tongue bite but I think it’ll be better to smoke this tobacco slowly. Provides with a cool and slow smoke, almost minty. Moisture content is pretty good ( not damp, neither too dry). Room note is great ( I might be subjective but it really is good as described by my Wife). Reminds me of W. O Larsens signature blend and Petersons Christmas blend ( but Auenland is better. The other two are more sour and tend to bite). Pretty good tobacco but nothing extraordinary or super amazing. I’m still glad that I gave it a try. Best things about this tobacco: it’s middle earth themed, tin is pretty cool, tin note and room note are amazing… after opening the tin the whole room will smell wonderfully.

Sutliff - Honey & Chocolate
Chocolate yes - honey not quite
Pretty good, nothing crazy or unique but still enjoyable. Note and smell both contain honey and some chocolate. But when actually smoked chocolate aroma is more present ( more like a dark chocolate, with minimal sweetness). Very soft and mild, smok... es to the ash

Sutliff - Christmas Spice
Very good aromatic
Description is almost perfect, but cinnamon is not that noticeable ( but its still present) a lot like pumpkin spice, creme brulee and molto dolce ( but molto dolce is the most different from the ones mentioned above). Sweet, soft, vanilla, caramel and anise are quite obvious, cinnamon is a bit like a background player, has just a tiny bit of spicy flavor too ( like cinnamon, other spices and black pepper but its a good and pleasant kind of spicy)

Sutliff - 504C Aromatic English
Very food and mild
Very similar to Eastfarthing. Enjoyed it a lot. Could be an all day smoke. Soft, with some tones of sweetness.

Cornell & Diehl - Miskatonic Mixture 2oz
Unsmokable
Cigarette ash. What is said below is not about this particular brand, but about the brand and their peoducts overall. So Cornell & Diehl finally lost my trust... The most inconsistent brand. Some time ago I was amazed by how good their tobaccos are, but on my second, third and fourth try I was disappointed. Taste, flavor, quality was never as good as the first time... Some tobaccos even had mold. I'm not that type of a man who hates on something or tries to throw rotten tomatoes, but just be careful pipers. If you're going to try their stuff be sure to get something else alongside, so that you won't be as disappointed and left without any tobacco to enjoy. Just don't rely ✌🏻

Cornell & Diehl - Autumn Evening
The most inconsistent blend and brand
Ok so Autumn evening ( which I tried somewhere around april/may ) was awesome, now I've had it two more.times one was unsmokable ( so I threw it away... Big Can!!!!!) And now I decided.to.try a little bit if bulk, maybe this time it would be as good as the first... Nope! Still bad, better than the second try ( smokable) but still not good. I'm not a hater, I used to love the but cornell and diehl are very inconsistent, changing and sometimes even full of issues. This is the case when names, branding, themes are.cool but it ends there ( doesn't affect tasye or quality)

Cornell & Diehl - Gentleman Caller 2oz
Meh
Cigarette + tiny bits of aroma sometimes ( rarely) didn't enjoy it much

Cornell & Diehl - We Three Kings 2oz
Ok blend...
Don't sense much of the spices, cinnamon or any holiday aromas... To me it's just a regulad OK aromatic... One problem with C&D which I've had is inconsistency ( sometimes blends taste awesome, sometimes ok and sometimes even bad ... Haven't had we three kings too many times but with Autumn evening I've had that problem... One tin was amazing, second one unsmokable). Also there's something like mold on darker leaves ( Cavendish and Perique tend to have it)

Tampers & Tools - Rubber Pipe Bits (2 pack)
Rubber is rubber
Just some rubber tips... What ti expect from them? They re good, theyre ok

Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies - B. J. Long Regular Tapered Pipe Cleaners (100 pack)
Very good cleaners
Good quality, fluffy, nicely tapered. Amazing for such a price!

Sutliff - Creme Brulee
Molto dolce oe Old toby bulk
Tastes 99% like Molto Dolce, or Old toby, great tobacco!

Sutliff - Z92 Vanilla Custard
Beautiful and tasty!
Rhis blend looks beautiful, but not only it also tastes great! The tin note is mind-blowingly sweet and pleasant, the taste is the same! Great, sweet, soft and consistent smoke!

Cornell & Diehl - Dreams of Kadath 2oz
Crossover?
This blend is almost like a crossover between english and aromatic. You can feel and appreciate natural tobacco but there's slightly more in the background... Small notes of rum maybe? Or vanilla? Great blend!

Cornell & Diehl - Cross-Eyed Cricket 2oz
Awesome blend
This blend is pretty tasty, doesn't bite, has characteristics of both English and an aromatic. A lot like Sutliffs eastfarthing, but with a slightly more obvious sweetness and rum aroma. Pretty sweet, but not too much, little boozy, notes of rum are very pleasant. Sense latakia, perique and some turkish too ( but not too straight forward). I can sense creaminess and tiny bit of spiciness too, leaves good aftertaste and wet/creamy feeling in mouth, nice room note, I think it can be smoked inside. Tin note: smells like a bottle of good rum. ( Perhaps vanilla flavored rum). Strength: mild/ mind-medium. Nicotine: low/ low-medium. Taste: medium Smoked fresh out of a tin, comes a little moist ( but that's the way I actually like my tobaccos, doesn't interfere with lighting or smoking process), since I'm a very slow smoker I need couple of relights, but I think most of you won't need many. Smoked with a briar pipe.

Sutliff - 523 Voodoo Queen
Not bad but could be better
Something between eastfarthing and balkan delight ( by Peterson). Not quite an English blend but pretty similar. Overall it's not bad but the " mocha slices" which were mentioned weren't noticable, mocha flavor could actually make this blend more interesting. Personally I am more into aromatics and English-aromatics, if you like english blends you may actually enjoy it

Sutliff - Pumpkin Spice
Nice Tobacco to try
Strength is mild/ mild to medium. Taste and flavor medium/medium-full. Room note is pretty pleasent. It's a good blend, not the best for me or the one that made me jump out of my socks but I stilk enjoyed it very much. Reminds of Molto Dolce by sutliff a Looot ( or Old Toby) bith consistency, color, cut ir taste and aroma. Just a tiny bit of pumpkin aroma and a nutty taste added. It's a little wet, but had no problem with lighting it, with couple of re-lights smoked it to the end. Overall impressions: pleasant and smooth smoke, good aroma and taste ( more on a sweet side, for its great, others don't like sweet tobaccos), burn was pretty good, cool and not too fast, tastes like Spices ( such as anise, cloves, holiday spices, little bit of nuttiness, pumpkin ( but the pumpkin taste is not too noticable), maybe some vanilla or sugar. Smokes: fresh out of the package. Pipe used: Peterson System Premier 312.

Sutliff - Eastfarthing 1.5oz
Nice Tobacco to try
Tasted woodsy, nutty, almost like autumn leaves (smell), sense tiny bit of vanilla, cloves or anise stars. Room note is pleasant, strength I'd say mild/medium. If you've ever smoked Old Dublin by Peterson you're gonna notice that eastfarthing tastes pretty similar... But old Dublin smells terrible and the taste is not too pleasant at some points... Imagine an Old Dublin tobacco, but a tasty, good smelling and sweeter one. Maybe there are some Turkish tobaccos mixed or balsa leaf don't know... Won't burn or bite, not too wet. Overall great tobacco it's like a crossover, English Aromatic.
