Steve Saka is turning me to pipe tobacco with these crossover blends. I am really enjoying the his StillWell line. The English No 27 is growing on me. The flavor notes are pepper, dry earth, a little sweet tea and hickory word (maybe a little peatiness).

Really amazing construction, but the flavors weren’t totally winners for me. It was good, but not my favorite flavor profile. There’s some minerality to it, mushroom earthiness, and wet wood. There’s also some chocolate and coffee to balance that almost, which I appreciate. Glad I tried it, but I don’t think I’ll be going back to this one.
