Warped - Cloud Hopper 2oz
It's really grown on me
I'm a cigar guy turned pipe guy who still loves cigars. Probably why I'm liking this one. I'm nearly through the tin. Would I buy it again? Ehh, I think I'd only buy top-tier tins more than once. But I would say it's worth a try.

Cornell & Diehl - Sunset Harbor Flake 2oz
Don't Let the Sunset On Your Dreams
I must have gotten that same 012025 batch as DreadKnot. That was nice to see when I opened the mail. I grabbed this because I live in Miami Beach and we have a Sunset Harbor here, so just going on vibes. But man, this is such a nice treat. Very smooth smoke, no tongue bite. I've only been smoking pipes for a few months, but this is tripping my trigger. Absolutely delightful. I recommend smoking it on your balcony as the sun sets.

Ashton - Smooth Sailing 50g
Nutty and Tougue Bitey
First of all, not a whole lot of flavor here. I do get some nuttiness, but I think W.O. Larsen's Old Fashioned is a better version. Mostly, I just get a lot of tongue bite, which makes this not so smooth for sailing. Enjoyability of this blend is low. I probably won't finish the tin.

Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation - 1931 Flake 1.76oz
Dusty Library with a Hint of Pear
I'm transported to a dusty library. Green shaded table lamps adorn mahogany tables and a full sized globe sits in the corner. Books by Einstein, Newton, and Darwin are strewn about with dogeared pages. A note of pear wafts through the room. A great every day smoke.
