BriarWorks - Smokehouse 2oz
Holy smokes!
I knew it was going to be good, but I was unprepared for just how good this is. I would give it six stars if I could. It smells so good in the jar, tastes absolutely devine. I loaded up my Onda 111 and was enamored from beginning to end.

Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies - B. J. Long Pipe Cleaners - Regular Tapered (100 pack)
Good pipe cleaners
They do the job fine, but they do leave behind bits of cotton pretty easily They are better than a lot of alternatives

Filters & Adaptors - Savinelli 6mm Adapters - (5 Pack)
They do their job
It's what they do; replace filters in 6mm pipes. They work as intended, and without flaw. EZ PZ; if you don't want wood filters or want something in case you run out, search and worry no more.

Lighters - Peterson Pipe Lighter - Brown
There's really nothing to say...
It's a great lighter. It feels good in my hand, it's a great size, looks stylish. It's easy to light and easy to fill. I like the nice dark brown color. It's a fantastic good quality lighter.

Stands & Pouches - 2 Pipe Stand
Good stand
It's a nice size and looks good on a desk, in a case, or on a gun cabinet's shelf. It works really well for my bent pipes; Porto Cervo, Unica, etc. and works quite well with straight pipes as well. If you're wondering; it does not work for Churchwardens, at least not mine. I have 'wardens that are all 10"+ and they fall out or tip, they do not sit at all.

Filters & Adaptors - Savinelli 6mm Filters - Balsa(100 Pack)
Good product
Does what it's supposed to do. My only complaint; When snapping them off and then attempting to insert them into my Savs, I have to shear off slivers of balsa to make them fit correctly. It's not a huge complaint, but some of them are quite large for the 6mm stems they are supposed to go in.

Drucquer & Sons - King's Fool 100g
My second favorite tobacco
This is such a tasty and good smelling tobacco It reminded me a lot of Presby, but a bit milder Funnily enough, I actually mixed a bunch of this into my Presby, and made something pretty good. Not a dissapointment on it's own, not in the slightist. I *love* this stuff.

Rattray's - Old Gowrie 100g
I think it needs time to age
It smelt amazing opening the tin Tore me up the first few times I smoked it, but it calmed down a bit after a few days. It was pretty moist. Left it for a week, tried it again, and I get a lot of the flavors others describe here, particularly the sour / bread flavors I sealed it up in a vacuum bag, I'm going to let it sit for a nice long time, come back to it, and I bet it'll be a great time.

Peterson - My Mixture 965 50g
Very good
It's a nice good tasting tobacco. I opened it and tried smoking some right away, and didn't take to it immediately. I shelfed it for about a month, and then tried it again, and it grew on me quite a bit. I now use it every other day or so. I like to drink a nice Farmhouse Ale when smoking this blend, it creates a lovely flavor It's a solid blend.

Presbyterian - Presbyterian 50g
Pretty darn good
I am fairly new to the pipe scene, and bought Presby due to name recognition alone. I had no idea what I was getting into It's a magnificent smoke. The flavors are amazing. The retro-hale, if I am using this term correctly, has a fantastic feel in the nostrils, leaving aromas in the nose and flavors in the mouth that I do not have the eloquence or experience to correctly describe at the writing of this review. I've bought 5 different pipe tobaccos so far; this one is far and away my favorite so far. I'm not naive enough to think there aren't better blends out there, but, if you're considering this for one of your firsts, I can tell you it won't be a dissapointment.
