Went out yesterday, Ken. DC# 9405 5036 9930 0451 1631 93

Here is my quick review of the last sample from Tyler:

#5-
strength: mild
flavor: mild
taste: extremely mild
room note: tolerable to pleasant
score: 3.0/4

This one smells good enough to eat- sweet and creamy. Nice springy, semi-moist density with a beautiful chocolate brown color. I am not sure of the tobacco type, but this one smoked cool, sweet, and smooth....

It's called Honey Gold at the tobacconist. I got it about a year and a half ago and liked it. I have a few ounces left but the shop is out of business and my other guy doesn't think it was the correct name. Probably Honey Cavendish. I'm going to do some more research.

Got a nice haul of tobacco from James...I'll post a review or two ASAP.

Sorry about the delay in getting my reviews posted...I've not smoked anything in two weeks. Between extremely cold snowy weather I've been extremely busy. I'll try to post a couple of reviews this weekend.

OK...My first review. For the sake of not having any ghosting in the pipe I'm gonna use a MM Spool on my reviews.

Tobacco #1 sent by James...This tobacco came in narrow strips. The tobacco was dark brown with a few golden colored strips. It's a pretty nice looking flake. It has a sweet smell about it. It was a bit moist so I dried it out for about an hour before loading it up. A glass of ice water was my drink with the pipe.

I used the cannon ball method of loading my bowl. I gave it a charring light...Tamped a bit...And lit the bowl. I immediately got a sweet floral soapy taste. This remained through the entire bowl with a bit of spice. The room note was a bit sharp but pleasant. The bowl burned all the way down with no relight. The ash was black with a few white specks.

I'm guessing this is a Lakeland tobacco...Virginia with a bit of perique. Possibly SG or GH. I'd buy this tobacco in an instant. It's not the most complex tobacco but it is real nice.

I give it 90 out of 100.

By the way...Who wants a few pipe tobacco samples?

Great review, Ken! You nailed most of it. #1 is Samual Gawith Best Brown Flake - which I believe would automatically fall in the "Lakeland" bucket. A great straight Virginia. Good move letting it dry out a bit... ...I find a lot of the SG products moisture content to be a bit high initially. A good smooth smoke, imho...
