Samuel Gawith Perfection, a really nice combination of Virginia, Perique, Latakia and Oriental Tobacco’s with a mild Vanilla Topping.
Very well balanced and easily an all day smoke.
I would always recommend this to anyone with an interest to trying English Blends for the first time as well as to the more experienced Pipe Smoker.

This arrived in the monthly subscription box and didn't disappoint. A toasty start and with most Cubans, a nice mellow smoke through the main but the winner was the spectacular finish. I won't spoil it for you but definitely one to try and I'm glad I signed up for these monthly treats. I've only just started so don't know what to expect each month but this is a great start!

Bought some of this a couple of months ago after already being a big fan of the 1792 flake. It's a very robust and tasty smoke - it doesn't seem as heavy on the Tonquin as the flake, although I guess age and batches might make a difference to an extent.
Anyway - if you like your smokes to have a full flavour and fancy the added fun of experimenting with cutting and prepping it yourself, this one is well worth a try. I love it and will definitely be a regular buyer of it henceforth.

A touch of luxury! I have just received my cutter/stand and am so impressed by its quality. It feels amazing holding it, the cut is very clean, very precise, and the bonus of having a stand in such a small form factor makes it an even bigger win. The weight of the product is much appreciated because the cigar remains stable. I know there are many types of cutters and stands, but I love being able to have a 2-in-1 that takes up little space in my pocket or bag.

This is an odd one for me, when I first tried years ago I didn't get it (vs all the more exotics)
But it's available over counter so pick it up sometimes
Anyway, over time I've really come to enjoy this one -- it can take a bit to get going as it's got some moistness but it's a really solid smoke
A lot of depth in flavour, strong and very pleasant -- a reliable workhorse
As I've bought less exotics over time this has become one of the main baccies I reach for -- but I had to exhaust all the other options to really appreciate it

Just a quick follow-up on the lighter. I have been using it for the past few days, predominantly outdoors, and it has been brilliant. Even at a low flame, it does an amazing job, the flame is strong and it has repeatedly lit my cigar without any effort on my side to conceal the flame. Also, despite repeadely lighting my cirgars I have not had to refilll it yet.
