Cornell & Diehl - XXV Reserve: Dusk 2oz
25 Year Aged Virignia.... WOW
Folks, this is a holy grail moment. 25 year old aged Virginia means this leaf being pressed and sealed since the year 2000. Look up aged Virginia pipe tobacco, people demand this stuff....10,000 tins made for each blend already makes this ultra rare. Adding 25 year aged Virginia makes this ultra rare. Do yourself a favor and buy a few to stash back. I bet this stuff goes for $200+ a tin down the road. I bought the max of each myself, didn't think twice.
Newminster - No. 400 Superior Navy Flake
Fresh is meh, Aged is legendary
This stuff is rancid fresh for me. Hay, sharp perfume, bites. Get 2 years into it to do its thing….creamy, deep smoke, touch of citrus, good abundance of sweetness. All day smoke. This stuff with 2 years and 507c with 7 years, I can barely tell the difference. Both bet out a 7 year crystallized Stonehaven for me. A bowl of this on Christmas Eve will make you deep think and appreciate your existence.
BriarWorks - Smokehouse 2oz
Perfumey
I’d bet this stuff ages with grace. Open the jar, it’s a legendary BBQ smokehouse. Edible BBQ. Light it up, perfume explosion. Tried it in briars, new cobs, seasoned cobs. But each puff I feel this will be a legend with a little age to break down some of that perfume. As cheap as this is, grab a few jars, put on the back shelf and revisit in 2-3 years.
Sutliff - 507C Virginia Slices
Needs A Rest
Bought a pound of this stuff for a comparison to FVF. Just like FVF, it’s grassy, smokes like hay straw. Just not very good. Mason jar it, slap a label on the year you sealed it up and forget about it. 8 years (yes, I’m a collector of antiquity tobaccos) later, like FVF it’s darkened like a chocolate bar. Revisited, this is far superior to FVF in my opinion. It’s creamier, smokier and smoked like a southern sweet tea. In fact, sweet tea on a summer day is the best to pair this smoke with. Everyone needs 5 pounds of this jarred and forgotten in their cellar. Cannot believe STG’s decision to end this superior luxury blend.
