Caldwell Cigar Company - Yellow Cake Maduro 2026 Corona
Disappointing
This was the worst Cigar I've ever had! The draw so tight that I could barely get any smoke and the smoke I did get tasted and smelled like Swisher Sweet or Philly Blunt quality! Since it was NOT smokable anyway, I cut it open to investigate the issue and it was packed with chopped up tobacco. Not a long leaf in sight, other than the wrapper and binder. It's a shame that I waited so long to buy one of these and it ended up being garbage! I hate to use the words "Floor Sweepings" but I feel like that's what I got. It wasn't worth the $5-$6, not by a long shot.
Mac Baren - Vanilla Flake 1.75oz
One of my favorites
This is one of the best vanilla blends there is, it's flavor is very unique and unlike any other blend I've ever tried. This blend also works pretty well when it has about 5 years of age on it, it really smooths it out and the vanilla doesn't dissipate at all. If you have yet to try it, I recommend you purchase some while you can or you may miss out on one of the most unique flakes you'll ever try. Mac Baren Vanilla Flake is in my top 5 for sure.
Gawith Hoggarth & Co. - Kentucky Nougat
Confusing blend
This blend has changed to Cherry flavored. I remember trying it years ago and it was actually Nougat flavored, not anymore! For what it is, I guess it's a good tobacco, but I don't especially care for cherry flavored tobacco. This review is more for Smokingpipes being so cool with the confusion about my order! They fixed it without hesitation, which is why I've been a customer for so long. Tobacco: 3 out of 5 Smokingpipes customer service: 5 out of 5
Grand Croupier - Jack Pot
Surprisingly good
I am very much a fan of blends like this. I also have a jar labeled "Whatever" that I put all my leftovers from packing a bowl in. This blend is mostly made up of broken flakes, and seems to have a good moisture level. This being a tossed together blend would explain the flavor. What I got was definitely Burley forward and it has a sweet, musty, earthy, creamy, maybe butterscotch/caramel sort of thing going on. It will run hot if you puff too fast, but all in all, it's very nice! I would definitely buy again! Although, since it's a blend of sweepings, I'm not sure if I would get the same blend next time or not? Worth a try for sure.
