G. L. Pease - 25th Anniversary Silver Jubilee 2oz
Amazing
I've only smoked this a handful of times but I must say it is one of the best blends I've smoked. Shame I only got 2 tins. Burned well and tasted amazing. DFK wasn't overpowering and the Virginia added the perfect amount of sweetness.

Aladino - Smokingpipes Candela Queens Perfecto
Mild flavor, good burn
I'll admit that this is my first candela so I don't really have anything to compare it to, but the flavor profile is mild. I get very minimal pepper and creaminess, not so much hay/grass. I'm glad I got it on sale. It's ok, nothing special.

Oliva - Serie V Senoritas (10 Pack)
Great cigar for a quick smoke
I gave these a try after having one of the larger Oliva V vitolas and these pack just as much flavor and nuance as their larger counterparts. Great smoke for those colder months for the outdoor smokers and they have burned and tasted great each time. I ended up buying a 5 pack since they were so good.

Warped - The Haunting Cake 2oz
Pleasantly surprised
I've recently started getting into cigars after smoking pipes for a bit, so I figured why not give this a try. I wasn't expecting much, but once I lit the bowl I was pleasantly surprised. This blend is very good and has good notes of cigar leaf, although not overpowering. I feel like the Virginia does most of the heavy lifting, but there are subtle notes of leather that you get from cigars. It's got a good sweetness to it and it smoked well with no tongue bite and minimal relights. If you're on the fence I would suggest giving it a go. I got 2 tins but I may order more before it's gone.

Cornell & Diehl - Carolina Red Flake with Perique 2oz
Solid VaPer
My palate is not super refined but this blend is pretty tasty and sophisticated. The first third of the bowl I got a ton of peppery goodness with a touch of sweetness. The tobacco became sweeter towards the second third with some added nuttiness? Can't quite pinpoint what I was getting but it tasted nutty. Last third the pepper notes toned down a lot and I was getting more sweet and creamy notes. Only needed one relight and I smoked it right out of the tin with not much aeration. Used a 50mm falcon bowl filled about 2/3rds. For now I'm giving it 4.5 but with age and with a more refined palate it may taste better for me later on. Glad I got 3 tins!

Kopp - Year of the Dragon 100g
Unique flavor with quality leaf
I've never had star fruit before but the aroma and taste of this tobacco is sublime. I haven't smoked aromatics in a while but this is making rethink that. The star fruit flavor is consistent throughout the bowl and you can taste the quality of the Virginia leaf. Star fruit flavor is not overpowering and the tobacco itself isn't goopy. It's the perfect moisture level. I definitely recommend checking this one out.

Sutliff - 504C Aromatic English
Excellent smooth smoke
So far it's been one of my favorite blends. It will be sad when it's no longer available but luckily I got a pound and a half cellared. If you're on the fence about it definitely give it a try before it's gone.

Sutliff - 507C Virginia Slices
Great Virginia
I truly enjoyed this Virginia. Very smooth and flavorful. I liked it so much I ended up buying a pound and a half.
