G. L. Pease - Ashbury 2oz
Excellent
Flavors! Smooth, funky, sour, sweet and smokey. This is a full English dream blend. I too say OMG! If you love English blends this one will not disappoint.

Cornell & Diehl - Sun Bear Bourbon Cask 2oz
SP Customer Service Rocks & Tips**update
1. Pick up the phone and call SP well in advance of a release and ask to have a few set aside for yourself. 2. Hit a local brick and mortar. 3. Hit tinbids after the fact if you cannot find it and if it means that much. Best of luck! Just lit a bowl of this new release. As advertised! Bold, delicious, creamy, sweet, a little spicy. Perfect moisture, easy to rub out and pack.

Peterson - Standard Mixture 50g
A standard!
As advertised, a well balanced English. I would add savory. This is a daily driver for me.

Cornell & Diehl - Cross-Eyed Cricket 2oz
Surpassed my expectations- C-EC
I decided to give this one a try after viewing Jeremy's video on aromatics. I am not a huge aromatics smoker, but I will say the result here is a flavorful, and delightful juxtaposition on English nuances and a fruity aromatic. However, the fruity notes are subtle enough and not over the top as some other aromatic brands and blends tend to be. This blend add layers of flavor without confusion. Well done C&D! Scott S.

Drucquer & Sons - King's Fool 100g
Compared to Penzance and Quite Nights
First, Druc's Kings Fool is an excellent deep rich English smoke. Flavor, tin note, first mid and near end of the bowl smoking attributes- this hits all the marks for me. I have a couple tins of Penzance aged nicely, and kings fools comes in darn close to matching the deep spicy smokey flavors, and after taste! I have been smoking Quiet Nights to sub Penzance, but I think I just found a new sub in Kings Fool. I recommend this!

Cornell & Diehl - Eight State Burley 2oz
....A tip
To those who are voicing concern about being at a certain tier and missing out. Reach out to your customer service representative that is assigned to you and advises for you at SP, and ask them about setting a tin aside. Many times, they are able to do it. Does not hurt to ask.

Cornell & Diehl - CPCC 30th Anniversary: 1996 2oz
1996 - a decently smooth English
I cracked one of these open and was greeted with a nice bbq like smell that I describe as close to Peterson Night Cap. Moisture was perfect. From start to finish, this blend stayed smooth. A little spice, a kiss of sweet on the back side and sides of the tongue. Good commemorative blend for the Chicago Pipe Show - it did not disappoint.

Cornell & Diehl - From Beyond 2oz
Beyond smooth!
A smooth and well balanced all day English smoke. Wish they offered this year 'round. Once released again, I recommend!

Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation - 1957 1.76oz
Great tin note, that's it
57 has great tin note, and the first few min after lighting was OK but as I proceeded further into the session, the flavors faded and it had a cigarette note that creeped in. Unfortunately, not for me. However. Other 4th gen tobaccos are pretty good.

Cornell & Diehl - Bow-Legged Bear 2oz
Pleasantly surprised - BLB!
This is fantastic! From the tin note of smokey bbq, the packing, the lighting and enjoyment through the whole bowl, I thought this would be a so so English. Wrong! This is a winner, and I believe this will also get even better with aging. Well balanced, smooth, smokey and shall I say satisfying! Wonderful blend C&D!!

Per Jensen - Legacy Collection: Harbour Dreams 2oz
Smooth and subtle aromatic
I packed and smoked Harbor Dreams tonight as an after dinner treat, and Per Jensen HB did not disappoint. I was welcomed by a subtle essence of cocoa with a light hint of creamy sweetness throughout my session. This tobacco blend did not bite and smoked cool for an aromatic. I do have to note that I leverage the breathe method, which tends to help obtain a cooler smoking experience. I purchased a couple more tins tonight as I am adding this to my tobacco rotation.

Peterson - Elizabethan Mixture 50g
Mildly sweet with a bit of spice on the back side
I took a lunch break to pipe up some Elizabethan mixture. I was pleasantly surprised at how smooth it was, with a bit of spice. This could be an all day smoke, and certainly easy on the tongue and pallet. Moisture was great right out of the tin, ready to smoke. I recommend this one for a nice, cool smoke, albeit if you smoke it slow and don't rush it. It will treat you right!

Warped - Saint Espresso 2oz
Coffee shop
I bought a tin of Warped Saint Espresso to get a sense of what their Cavendish forward blend is all about. I am pleasantly surprised. This is an excellent blend, great flavors from the first light to the bottom of the bowl. The room note is exceptional according to to my wife, reminded her of walking into a coffee shop. Nice work C&D/Warped!

BriarWorks - Cherry Cobbler 2oz
Salty popcorn and cherry
I have tried the cherry cobbler a few times now, and I am convinced I am tasting cherry as the top note and salty popcorn as the after taste. It's not bad on occasion for a change up.

Lane Limited - LL-7
Lane LL7
If you are not in a rush to smoke this blend, be prepared for a mellow, smooth and flavorful experience. I purchased this after a recommendation from a friend, and am glad I tried it. You will not be disappointed.

Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - American Cherry Vanilla
Deep flavors and great room note
I bought this blend thinking it would be a darker cherry note, and this did not disappoint. Hints of cherry Ala mode when lightly sipped, and darker cherry when pulled in through the palet and nostrils. I recommend this for an evening desert along with a good decaf coffee.

Stands & Pouches - Neal Yarm 48 Pipe Four Tier Pipe Stand Oak
Robust sized pipes, side by side
This stand is heavy duty, built well, clean looking and hold a good portion of my collection. Additionally, most larger mfg and some hand made larger pipes fit side by side on this stand easily. Well worth the dollars to display your pipes.
