This sample collection is a 10/10 - Many different flavours to experiment with. They all seem to have a signature scent and flavour that overreaches into every blend, while maintaining a distinct flavour for each tobacco. I have tried all so far apart from the commonwealth mixture and I have to say these are very high quality and sophisticated blends. My favourite has got to be the Skiff Mixture as it is fast burning, has a nice smooth flavour and works well with corn cob and briar pipes alike. That being said I think that all of these blends are very pleasurable to smoke and are absolutely great value for money considering the high quality. A definite recommendation.

Interesting. As a cigar smoker, these are truly god awful. The berry is quite nice however the 'cigarillo' is bad. It is truly a cigarette, which I'm sure people know. I would recommend for a cigarette smoker, but for a cigar smoker, absolutely no way.

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!

The item is stunning! Beautiful craftsmanship makes it stand out in any setting. I have not been able to try out a wide variety of cigars to see how well they fit, but for reference, 2 Montecristo no4 cigars fit very well, with plenty of space around them. The leather part of the case is beautifully textured, and the overall product is smaller than it looks in the photos.
The only thing I am very disappointed with is how long it took to deliver the item (for context I made the order on the 27 April). On the website, it does specify to allow for 21 working days, which was understandable. After the time had elapsed I called the customer service team and asked for a projected time of arrival, to which I was told around mid-June. On 12 June I was on the website browsing for some more cigars when I decided to look at the item and to my surprise it was advertised as 'Hurry, only 1 left in stock!'. I then proceeded to contact customer service which after a quick stock check found that the item was available. I am disappointed that it took multiple checks on my side to see if the

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
