Samuel Gawith - St. James Flake 50g
need time
A renowned tobacco. After buying it, I smoked a bowl and found it just so-so, very moist. Maybe it's because I didn't let it dry long enough. People say this one needs long aging. Hopefully time will bring out a better flavor.
Samuel Gawith - Full Virginia Flake Burnt Ends 8oz
scraps
I spent a long time researching what Burnt Ends means. Many translations said it was "essence," but after I received it, I found out—oh, it's actually just scraps. Keep in mind: Burnt Ends means scraps.

Peterson - My Mixture 965 50g
need time
A well-reviewed blend. I bought it but haven't smoked it yet. I'll wait until I've made up my mind before trying it.

Burnt Ends maybe good
I only managed to get the Burnt Ends. I'm wondering how you guys managed to get the flakes. The 8OZ Burnt Ends is a bit more than the actual amount of Burnt Ends, so I'll just consider it a bonus.
Molina - Hobby Block (Half Bent)
i need some time to think
This pipe can be further modified. After receiving it, I've been thinking about what would be the best way to shape it, but unfortunately, I don't have a good idea yet.
Seattle Pipe Club - Hogshead 2oz
just so so
This tobacco smelled quite nice when I first received it—there was a pleasant aroma. But honestly, it doesn't smoke as well as Fox. At the same price, I'd still go for Fox. I bought two mainly because the tins look better, but it kind of feels like keeping the box and throwing away the pearl.

真爱生命,远离老冰棍
打开之后一股子浓浓的老冰棍香精味道涌上来,抽着的时候更是浓浓的老冰棍直击我的灵魂,过于汹涌澎湃了。 这是我为蚂蚁单付出的代价。 当然,如果你喜欢吃老冰棍,这会是你最好的选择。

Seriously, why is there still no option to post pictures in the comments?!
The package arrived yesterday. The pipe cleaners, pouch, and tools are all great. However, when I placed the order, the pipe appeared burgundy in the pictures on the website, but the actual color of the pipe I received is completely different. That said, compared to a $1.2 corn cob pipe, this one definitely feels much better in terms of hand feel and overall quality. That said, the pipe itself has some minor flaws—there are scuff marks on both the body and the rim. It also accumulated quite a bit of moisture during smoking, and the draft hole is slightly misaligned. After smoking, I wiped the surface of the pipe with an alcohol wipe, and the wipe turned yellow. I also made the mistake of wiping the inside with alcohol, which almost ruined the pre-carbonized coating. I felt a bit silly doing that. So, overall, I’d give this set a 3/5—it’s functional, but not necessarily something I’d enthusiastically recommend to others. I hope my experience is just an isolated case, and I wish those reading this review a more pleasant shopping and smoking experience.
