Cornell & Diehl - Dreams of Kadath 2oz
Not bad
Was a bit too sour right out of the tin after a few bowls it mellowed out and has a nice flavor now.

Sail - Aromatic (Green) 1.5oz
Sail makes good stuff
I’m a fan of English aromatics this is a good example of one.

Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies - B. J. Long Pipe Cleaners - A Coil 52'
Perfect for my Tolkien pipe
19” stem. This works.

Cornell & Diehl - Carolina Red Flake with Perique 2oz
Not bad.
It was good. The flavors were sweet and tangy, but a lot lighter than some other VaPers I’ve had. Still not a bad blend.

Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Bob's Chocolate Flake
Lakeland.
Yes. This has Lakeland essence on it. I am not a fan, even in small amounts. If that’s something you don’t like, I would avoid it.

Cornell & Diehl - Fires on the Levee 2oz
So good.
I don't know if this has a topping, but I taste brown sugar and caramel all throughout this blend and I absolutely love it.

Cornell & Diehl - Firebird Flake 2oz
Savory surprise.
Bought this year's release, having missed the prior one, and I like it. It’s a nice change of pace. More savory than sweet, if that makes sense.

Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies - Neerup Deluxe Cleaning Kit
Helps with my restoration projects.
The only thing I don't like is that the brushes have a point on the end that can scratch things, if you're not careful.

Cleaners & Cleaning Supplies - Obsidian Pipe Stem Oil 18ml
Does what it's advertised to do.
What else do you want?

Cornell & Diehl - Steamworks 2oz
Good small batch release.
Tangy and sweet with a nice smoky finish.

Sillem's - Black 100g
Good for fans of English Aromatics.
Very light fruity/floral aroma. Went well with the smoky Latakia.

Sir Walter Raleigh - Aromatic 1.5oz
No, sir. I don’t like it.
I’m not a big aromatic smoker. This one was a miss for me.

Cornell & Diehl - Pegasus
Good blend.
I bought this after having Haunted Bookshop. I like this better. Easier for me to smoke.

Sail - Regular (Yellow) 1.5oz
Surprised me.
The bag note was pretty bad at first, but it got better. Pleasant, actually. Tastes good.

Cornell & Diehl - Palmetto Balkan 8oz
Not bad.
Very smooth and light right out of the tin.

Prince Albert - Prince Albert 14oz
What I expect from a codger blend.
Nice, nutty, light with a hint of cocoa. Easy to pack, light and smoke all day.

Half and Half - Half and Half 1.5oz
Not for me.
The flavor wasn’t good to me.

Velvet - Velvet 1.5oz
Good except for the bite.
Like the flavor. Pretty bad tongue bite by the end of the bowl, unfortunately.

Paladin - Black Cherry 1.5oz
Nice but has bite
Very good cherry flavor just bites a lot if you’re not slow with it.

Smoker's Pride - Classic Blend 12oz
Not great. Not terrible.
Orange peel and tobacco. Pretty good in a small bowl.

Sir Walter Raleigh - Regular 1.5oz
Too much vinegar.
The flavor was too much to enjoy. Didn’t like it.

Captain Black - Gold 1.5oz
Nutty cake
Very nice sweetness. Smooth enough to enjoy but don’t get carried away it will get hot and bite if you’re not careful. All in all a good blend.

Borkum Riff - Cherry Liquor 1.5oz
Nice cherry followed by plastic
Not a bad cherry flavor on the draw in, but the aftertaste coated the inside of my mouth with a plastic/chemical flavor.

Warped - The Haunting Cake 2oz
Scary good.
Really really dig this blend.

Cornell & Diehl - From Beyond 2oz
Worth having for when the old ones come…
Nice, complex flavor.

Peter Stokkebye - PS24 Nougat
Tasty
I’m not good at picking out flavors, but it’s good. Lightly sweet.

Cult - Blood Red Moon 50g
Sweet cherry chocolate.
I like this blend. A bit too sweet for my liking, but nice for what it is.

Sutliff - Z50 Black Cordial
Subtle cherry.
Very tasty cherry flavor. Not super strong, but I like that.

Sutliff - B20 - Black Cavendish
Good for blending.
I’m not an aromatic guy. But I do use this for certain blends to add some sweetness to. Great for that.

Cornell & Diehl - The Beast 2oz
Love this stuff.
I’m actually not mad about the backlash on this blend. More for me.

Filters & Adaptors - Nording Filters - Keystone 100g
Great help, but would recommend learning better cadence.
Bought these to help with moisture. Did perfect. But I used them as a tool to help with my cadence. And for that they are awesome.

HU - Dark Moor 100g
Pretty good.
I like it. Has a spice to it. Burns well in most of my pipes.

Capstan - Ready Rubbed Blue 1.75oz Cellar Aged 2020
Awesome with age.
Great stuff with age. Perfect for reading some Middle Earth lore.

Capstan - Flake Yellow 1.75oz Cellar Aged 2020
Didn’t like it as much as blue.
Not as sweet or tangy as blue to me.

Presbyterian - Presbyterian 50g
So good.
Perfect daily English. Smoky, slightly sweet and just strong enough to sit back and relax with. Can’t go wrong with this one.

Cornell & Diehl - Old Joe Krantz
Good stuff.
I don’t normally smoke burleys. This is pretty good, though.

Cornell & Diehl - Haunted Bookshop
Better with practice.
Had to slow with this blend. Not bad.

Cornell & Diehl - Billy Budd
Strange.
Nice cocoa flavor. Very bitter finish, though.

I like this one a lot.

One of my favorite VaPer blends.
