Rivertown Tobacco Works - Custard Conspiracy
Surprised how good!
I admit that I didn’t have the highest expectations for a budget blend. Boy was I wrong! Really enjoyed this all through the bowl. Zero bite. Nice flavor but not overpowering. Well done. I will definitely buy this again.

Lighters - Lighter Wick - Zippo
The real deal Holyfield
So much better than the knock offs… and not any more expensive. Just get the real thing.

Sutliff - Lord Nelson
Good riddance
Arrived with the same consistency as fake Easter grass for children’s baskets. Dry as a wildfire waiting to happen. Obviously little care taken housing remaining stock for a disappearing line. Can’t speak to the flavor, didn’t get to experience what it should have been. A shame.

Sutliff - B30 Chocolate Mousse
One more tasty blend going away…
Better than Chocolate Truffle so grab a few ounces while you can. A tasty diversion, I enjoy a bit during my lunch break and always get the “smells like you could eat it “ comments. Kinda wish I had bought more.

Molina - Barasso Smooth Grey (51A) (9mm)
Smooth smoker all-day bowl
Love the shape. Really nice size bowl to pack a nice session’s worth of tobacco. The finish is top notch. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this piece to anyone to add to their collection/rotation. My new favorite until I find my next favorite **smiles**

Sutliff - Z88 Maple Walnut
Almost tastes like a holiday pie
Really tasty! I like it a lot. Not sure if it’s one of the ones going away for good but if so I might just have to cellar a bit away just in case I get an itch for a dessert smoke. Not over sweet just right on the money.

Cornell & Diehl - Irish Blessing
Might be blasphemy to some but…
I like this better than Autumn Evening. There. I said it. It’s out in the open now. But seriously, just a really good all day smoke. Could use a little dry time, but nothing major. I definitely won’t be running out of this one.

Sutliff - Creme Brulee
Pair it with a cup of coffee
Creamy! Nice and smooth blend. Could be an everyday smoke, I don’t find it overly sweet so definitely wouldn’t be off putting daily. Really tasty if you are an aromatic fan.

Cornell & Diehl - Autumn Evening 2oz
Really solid blend
Just a classic. One of the rare blends that you can bring out with a wide variety of smokers and make everyone happy. No real bite. Smooth all the way through. No crazy casing heavy taste. I can see why this is C&D best seller. I can’t see letting myself run out of this blend. Be good to yourself and grab a tin.

Sutliff - SPS-2011 Peach Cobbler
Wow!
Smells like a desert when you open the bag. Needs a little dry time (maybe 5 minutes) because it’s a bit moist. Super tasty. I wouldn’t call it an everyday/all day kind of smoke but it is really nice. I would not hesitate to recommend it or to purchase it again. Doesn’t seem like a cellar tobacco more like a smoke it now. Grab a couple of ounces and enjoy, I am!

Sutliff - J12 - Chocolate Truffle
New fave aromatic
So many aromatics are in one way or another disappointing, but this one is an absolute beauty! The taste is subtle but present, in no way overpowering of the flavor of the tobacco. It starts pleasant with no bite and stays that way throughout the entire bowl. I’m smoking it out of a modest briarwood pipe, not some heirloom I’d be afraid to stash away in my pocket and it doesn’t seem to matter. It should be in your aromatic rotation or just a 180 from a strong English blend. Super recommended!
