Sail Regular Ready Rubbed : This was the first tobacco I bought with my first pipe. I like it quite a bit and am still buying it today. It starts out pretty light and gains strength as you get farther down. The room aroma is slightly sweet and a bit musty.

Sail regular is a well balanced blend. Burley and Virginia tobaccos in perfect harmony are the basis, enriched by a selection of Oriental and Brazilian tobaccos.

My Rating

St. Bruno Ready Rubbed : I like this one as well and am still buying it. The smell in the pouch is fantastic like a slightly fermented dry red wine. It has a bit of a tangy taste and a great old time room aroma. It has quite a bit of nicotine punch. Some say you should dedicate a pipe for this one.

This is a Blend of Virginia and other selected tobaccos. Slow burning and cool with a pleasant aroma.

My Rating

Erinmore Flake : I like this one but is is not for the new smoker I believe as it has some kick. I have found it depends on the pipe you smoke it in. When you open the tin you smell an strong sort of fruity (maybe apricot) smell. It looks like small leather belts and takes a bit of work to rub it out. It gives me hick ups at times.

A superb blend of premium Virginia leaf topped with a secret recipe and aged under pressure to marry the flavors. The aged cake is then sliced thin and packaged. Can be rubbed to suit any taste. Medium in strength with a refreshing aroma. A cool clean burning all-day smoke.

My Rating

Dunhill Light Flake : This is one of my favorites but hard to find locally in Canada. I opened the tin to find a sweet sort of mild alcohol aroma. It is not as preformed as the Erimore Flake and rubs out very easily. At first light it seems you are getting nothing at all but it just keeps getting better and better. By finish it leaves me wanting more and I can't wait for my next bowl.

Medium strength flake of selected grades of Lemon and Bronze Virginias. One of Dunhill`s most expert blends of highest quality.

Brigham Natural Cavendish Ready Rubbed : I like this one now. This one has a very sweet musty smell to it even though it is a non aromatic. When I first smoked it I thought I would not buy it again because of the sweetness but over the past couple of weeks I get an urge to smoke it every so often and will buy more. It smokes well and you get the sweetness all the way through. The room aroma is very nice and reminds me of my Grandfather.

Natural Cavendish is a mild and pleasantly sweet Cavendish. This is a favorite of many Cavendish lovers who prefer a non-aromatic blend.

My Rating

Three Nuns Ready Rubbed : I like this one as well it tastes a bit like St. Bruno to me and smells a bit like it in the package. The tobacco is a finer cut and bit more moist. It has some bite but nothing serious. I find this one smokes extra slow as it is very moist. The room aroma is very nice as well.

A blend of dark fired and sun cured tobaccos mixed with the finest Brazilian Lights to produce the unique flavor and mellow smoking characteristics for which Three Nuns is famous.

My Rating

Brigham Mark Twain Ready Rubbed : I like this one quite a bit it has a slightly sweet and a bit of maple smell to it. As it is hard to find out which tobacco's they put in this blend I am guessing that there is some of the Cavendish in it. Probably Black Cavendish as there are some very large flakes of very black tobacco. It is not as sweet as the natural cavendish though and that's ok. The room aroma is very satisfying and lightly sweet musty. I don't smoke the cavendish blends much but this is the one of choice when I do

Brigham Morning Pleasure Ready Rubbed: I like this one as well even though It has no surprises . It is not as sweet as the other two Brigham's I have tried and has a nice aroma in the pouch. Plain and simple, a keeper I believe.

Kentucky grown burley is considered to be some of the finest in the world. This is the main element in this blend. We have added only 15% of our Black Cavendish to create a medium to slow burning tobacco, with a mildness and sweet aroma that is pleasing to all.

McClelland Bulk No.5110 Dark English Full: I opened this one to smell maybe a cedar and ash smell very different to anything I have experienced yet. It is almost black with some light tobacco mixed in and coarsely cut. It is different but I like it and will keep some around. I am liking the English blends more every day.

Sun Cured Virginia, Latakia and Oriental.

McClelland Bulk No.2015 Virginia Flake: I opened this one to smell (this might sound funny) a smell I haven't smelled since I was a young boy but it smells a bit like ketchup potato chips (I had the munchies allot back then). Dam It tastes like ketchup chips on first light as well. It's a bit peppery and can bite. It is ketchup as far as I got and I can not finish the bowl . I do not like this one and will not smoke or buy it again. I think my pipe might have some permanent damage as well. This is my first 1 pipe tobacco.

Flue cured broken flake. This tobacco is made from rich, orange and Red Virginias to which enough St. James Perique has been added to create a refreshing smoke.

My Rating

GAWITH, HOGGARTH & CO Brown Flake: This is a nice one. 6 inch leather belts that rub out very easily. In the package it has a bit of an perfume smell I also smell the english blends. It has a bit of a perfume taste to it as well that continues through the hole bowl. The virginias are nice I am enjoying trying them. They say it is a medium strength but I would place it up a bit higher. Pleasant room aroma too. All in all a fine smoke and I will buy this one again as well.

As with Bright CR Flake, this is another tobacco that devises its flavor simply from the choice of leaf in the blend, and has no additional casings or flavors to enhance the smoke. (u/s - stands for unscented) 83.5% Blended virginias are combined with a relatively high (for English Blends at any rate) proportion of Malawi Burley, 12.5%, to give flavor and depth to the smoke, and the addition of just 4% Malawi dark fired leaf is sufficient to combat the typical sharpness of the virginia leaf resulting in a rounded medium strength smoke.

Peterson University Flake: I like this one as well. Again this one is in the shape of 4 inch leather belts and takes a bit of work to rub it out. The smell in the tin is a slight berry but reminds me of the DLF a bit. They say it is a aromatic but I don't see that. It packs well, stays lit and burns slow and that's good because it burn hot as well. Great flavor all the way through. I will keep it around. This one also gives me hick ups at times and I believe it is because of the nicotine content as in the Erimore Flake.

G. L. Pease Odyssey: I like this one way too much. When I opened the tin I got the smell of the Latakia but something else in the scent as well that I don't know what. It makes my saliva glands run when I smell it. Smoking it is even better than smelling it. I think it has some addictive drug in it because I can't get enough of it. It burns and smokes perfect right from the tin and the room aroma is becoming one of my favorites for sure. If you like Latakia's then this is a must have. I have already ordered more of this one. It should get a 5 pipe rateing but my rating only goes up to 4.

Odyssey is huge! The biggest of the Pease blends. It's loaded with Latakia and harmonized by exotic Orientals. Wonderful red and jet-black stoved Virginias provide a perfect counterpoint.

My Rating

Samuel Gawith Squadron Leader: I like this one too. When I opened the tin I got the smell of the Latakia's but also the Virginia's are prevalent as well. I have to cut this one up a bit and leave it sit for about 20 minutes to get a good pack and burn. It burns well after that with huge clouds of satisfiying smoke. The room aroma is pure English blend. It gets rave reviews on the Tobacco Reviews page. I will ordered more of this one as the English blends are my favorites now.

This tobacco epitomises the traditional English tobacco. Blended dark and bright Virginias, together with Latakia and Turkish leaf results in a perfect, medium bodied product which gives a rich slow burning smoke.

My Rating

G.L. Pease Renaissance: I like this one too. When I opened the tin I got the smell of the Latakia's but also the Virginia's as well. It reminds me a bit of the Squadron Leader but the Turkish has been replace by Orientals and is cut slightly smaller no need to cut it up. It packs and smokes perfect right from the tin. It is a great smoke and does not replace the Squadron Leader so I will have to keep both around I think.

Renaissance is a classic medium English mixture, rich in oriental tobaccos, a good measure of Cyprian and Syrian Latakias, and just enough golden, red and matured Virginias to provide substance to the smoke. The nutty flavors of the oriental tobaccos are the main focus, with the Latakias providing an almost leathery spiciness. These flavors are perfectly balanced by the subtle sweetness of the Virginas to complete this elegant mixture.

My Rating

G.L. Pease Robusto: I like this one too. When I opened the tin I got the smell of the Virginia's but also the slighter Latakia's and the Cigar leaf. It packs and smokes perfect right from the tin as well. It is a great smoke the virginias are prevalent and thick clouds from it. I get a sweet feel not taste left on the end of my tongue from it. Nice and different. I use it as a mix some times with some of the other baccys for flavor and burn quality. It is not an all day smoke for me but when I get the urge for it, it satisfies completely. I will have to keep it around as well. I am starting to wonder if Greg makes a baccy I don't like.

The chocolate brown wrapper leaf would make an overly bold statement if blended with a heavy hand, but if just the right amount is used, it provides an alluring spice, a suggestion of the richness of a great cigar, and a creamy texture to the smoke. A little Cyprian Latakia rounds out the flavors, and smoothes the edges just enough. Ripe, red Virginia leaf provides s a modest sweetness while giving a backbone to the body. A variety of oriental tobaccos fill in the gaps. Robusto is complex, full flavored and spicy, yet very gentle on the tongue. It's perfect with the afternoon coffee, as a delicious finish to a wonderful meal, or as a stout companion throughout the day.

St. Bruno Flake : I like this one more than the ready rub but it is hard to find in Canada and a bit pricey. The smell in the package is the same as the ready rub but a little more intence (slightly fermented dry red wine) is what I get. It has a bit of a tangy taste and a great old time room aroma. It has quite a bit of nicotine punch. Some say you should dedicate a pipe for this one as I have.

This is a Blend of Virginia and other selected tobaccos. Slow burning and cool with a pleasant aroma.

My Rating

McClelland Frog Morton : I like this one allot the tobacco is dark black, with a small percentage of lighter brown flecks. As the Latakia blends are becoming my favorites and my staple this one lives up to it's hype. It burns very cool and is smooth and mild. It is a bit moist but I find it smokes well for me right out of the tin. I don't get any hint of the McClelland's Stench about this blend and I am two for three on this as their 5110 is another of my favorites. Some say it is an aromatic but I don't get it. I will buy this one again and keep an open tin.

Handblended, premium pressed Virginia Flake tobaccos. A fine vintage, naturally sweet, in limited quantity, air cured Virginia and Latakia.
