Peterson Standard Mixture Pipe Tobacco - 10g Sample by David

Standard mixture of such an apt name as this could not be anymore of a middle of the road blend. For starters there were no flavours of rich chocolate and coffee which was the only real attraction for me, so my disappointment started there. Sadly the bland mix provided nothing to re-interest me. The leaves used are well blended and no single one stands above the other, so you get a subtle mix that provides ... not much. I will say this is an easy smoke, easy to keep lit, didn't provide any tongue bite, and was definitely a medium in everything from room note to strength. I can't say it's bad, but equally it's not great. So 3 stars, bang in the middle it is.

Peterson Early Morning Pipe Tobacco - 10g Sample by Chas

4th blend I have ever tried as a new pipe smoker, and my first non-Aromatic. Very nice! Far more similar to a cigar in the lack of the Aromatic room note, and more in the way of a natural tobacco. Definitely sweet and creamy, woody, and pleasant overall. Very mild too, so I could probably enjoy this without even having to have a meal beforehand. Definitely worthy of getting a tin and to keep as a staple. Only downside I can think of is that the room note is less pleasant for non-smokers.

PDR Cigars Gran Reserva Corojo Half Corona Cigar - 1 Single by David

Good cigar, lots of flavour first third is creamy with a buttery almond taste, this develops into a more spicy leather flavour in the 2nd third and finishes of with a peppery earthy final third. Construction was good but did have a slight uneven burn on one of the two we had, apart from that this is a excellent budget option.

Padilla Fumas Robusto Cigar - 1 Single by David

Good cigar for the price, feels like it should cost a lot more. Full bodied but not overpoweringly bitter or peppery. The build was good with even burn and good draw. Flavour was consistent throughout the cigar and didn’t develop much however it has its own unique flavour that is hard to describe, at £11 each it’s def one not to miss.
