Cornell & Diehl - Blockade Runner 2oz
Another perfect summer smoke
the cake broke up easily and you could immediately smell the rum in the tin. burned perfectly and was easily packed. Light citrus and bright notes. Very enjoyable during the day and night.

Samuel Gawith - Navy Flake 50g
Slowly becoming a favorite
A deep smoke. Plum, molasses, and a little meaty. A super enjoyable smoke. I did both the fold n stuff and rub out methods with some drying time before hand. Slow and low burn with a great retrohale.

Low Country - Carolina Christmas 2oz
Will become a tradition for me.
What a great smoke. Cinnamon and brioche. Grated nutmeg. I think I’ll dedicate this blend for December only to stretch the stash.

G. L. Pease - Windjammer 2oz
Perfect summer smoke
I’m on a bit of Navy/Rum style tobaccos and this is tied for my favorite. I’ve been enjoying this blend during the hot and humid days. A nice light fruity taste with a hint of those chocolates with the liquor inside. An awesome blend.

Cornell & Diehl - We Three Kings 2oz
Taste better with a few months of jar time
I didn’t really email this when I first opened the tin, now I regret not buying more. The flavors were a bit sharp and green at first but now I get those winter baking spices and bread. A nuanced smoked that has to be sipped.

Peter Stokkebye - PS17 English Luxury
Great bulk
Another great intro into English Blends. Just enough of that Latakia to not scare new pipers off. A nice little sweetness with good balance. A great blend for the price.

Lane Limited - 1-Q
Good intro to Aro’s
A little simple for my taste as I came from cigars. I do enjoy aromatics but couldn’t really nail the flavor profile of this one down. It wasn’t bad, just not for me. I have mixed it into some Nightcap with great success though. Recommended for an intro to aro’s.

Missouri Meerschaum - Cobbit Dwarf
Short and cool smoker
I really enjoy trying English blends out of this cob. Big enough bowl to give you a good sample time and smokes cool with the longer stem. Recommended.

Missouri Meerschaum - Let Freedom Ring 2 Pipe Set (6mm)
Straight is great Bent is gone.
As the title says, the straight 5th ave is one of my most used pipes. Mostly with aromatics. The bent was very soft at the bottom and not a good smoker.

Missouri Meerschaum - Let Freedom Ring 5th Avenue Straight (6mm)
Great smoker after breaking it in.
One of my first pipes and currently one of my most used. Another reviewer noted that for awhile it wasn’t a good smoker and I can agree to that. Now though, it is my main aromatic pipe. Perfect size bowl for a winter smoke.

G. L. Pease - Union Square 2oz
Awesome blend
what a great smoke. Hints of stone fruit vinegar shrub. Some sweetness to it like brown sugar. Great retro and bumps up the taste. I would a medium smoke but awesome taste.

Cornell & Diehl - Autumn Evening
One of the best aro’s I’ve tried so far
Really great smell from the bag and room note. Unlike other aro’s, you get a nice taste of the tin note on the palate. Maple and pancakes. I did give it some time to dry out a bit and smoked well.

G. L. Pease - Horizons Flake 2oz
Woah! What a blend.
1 year aged tin and smoked out of a Cobbit Dwarf. What a flavorful smoke. Warming spices, stewed dark fruit, mesquite, and peated whiskey. Smokes cool with no bite unless you freight train it. Flakes are as beautiful as the tin art. Will be cellaring this heavily.

Missouri Meerschaum - Iconic Legend Bent (6mm)
Amazing short/beginer smoke
This was my first pipe and I made the right decision. I had no idea about shapes and sizes but thought this one looked cool. Smokes amazing. I bought a few other pipes along with this but I keep going back to this one. Highly recommend and I will buy a few to try and get my friends into this pipe culture.
