Cornell & Diehl - Midnight Orchard 2oz
Hot air
Literally hot air. No taste at all. Regret buying 8 tins. A pall mall has more flavor than this.

Charatan - Rolls 50g
Price!?
$31 dang. I didn’t think I’d see a 50g tin that’s more expensive than capstan. Wild pricing.

Peterson - Nightcap 50g
Good English but…
Ok so look, it’s been around for a long time, it’s a great English blend, I’ve had some sublime smokes with it, however, in my very humble opinion, it’s not worth (let’s be real here) $20 a tin. You can get some very comparable English’s at just over half the cost of what this currently is.

Capstan - Flake Blue 1.75oz
Simply the best
This has become my favorite tobacco. That’s it. It’s the one. The bread and hay like notes, the sweetness. I compare all other Virginias to capstan blue. (On a separate but related note I can’t stand capstan yellow). If you find it harsh, throw it in a jar and leave it for a few months. I rotate mine and try to age my tins for 6 months at least.

Cornell & Diehl - Christmas Blend 2012 (Chestnuts Roasting) 2oz
