For the price, it's okay! Mostly like vanilla flavored, what I received, and looks of mostly one blend, instead of a few blends mixed, as the name "Best of the Rest" would mean!

A great taste, a great price
This bulk pipe tobacco was ordered with trepidation. I have tried cigar “fumes” only to recommend the be used for pet bedding. I was pleasantly surprised by the smoke of both the pipe tobacco and the English pipe tobacco. The blend of tobaccos did not bother me as I blend three types of Captain Black In all a very pleasant smoke for a very pleasant price.

Good deal
Price was great. Service was better. But I'm very picky about my aromatic blends and can't quite give it 5* on the mix itself. That said it was far better than the average bargain tobacco. The English blend came out much better.

Great tobbaco
Great tobbaco for the money when recieved it in the mail I was surprised how quickly it came thanks to the PC folks.My first smoke was not mind blowing just kind of mediocre. It was perfect on moisture it burns nicely no tongue bit .the flavor is kind of hard to pin point but enjoyable .I did add a small amount of dark fired kentucky to it then it became a little brighter.i will buy more at some point in the future. Thanks again for the fast shipping.

"The Rest of the Best (sic)"
I agree with everybody else. It's dirt cheap and therefore I'm not overly concerned if I spill any. Otherwise, the flavor is variable, but never unpleasant (I've gotten some blasts of cherry, though I could see the comparison to Captain Black, which is my all-time favorite). For a pipe enthusiast as basic as me, I get a kick out of smoking what was literally left on the "cutting room floor." You could even make a case for it being environmentally friendly--we're upcycling production waste!

The mix is strong,has plenty of smoke ,tast is different than most others and seems to me like every pipe I smoke has a slightly different taste. Overall best tobacco for the money for a out of the original tasting smoke . Highly recommended ....

Best of the Rest is an economy smoke
I've been smoking pipes for more than 50 years. It was somewhere around $3.50 for a 14 ounce can back then, but prices keep going up. While prices for a 7 ounce can of past products have skyrocketed to $35 or more, Best of the Rest provides a whole pound for half that and is a pretty good smoke.

Good all around smoke.
Can't complain about price.flavor is good.Steady smoke.

Excellent value, decent quality
Medium strength smoke, great consistency (cut & moisture), nice aroma. Amount of tobacco for the price = Excellent value! No bite unless you smoke 2-3 bowls back-to-back. Fairly smooth. I’ve smoked a pipe for 23 years, this has been my daily tobacco for 6. If they ever make a cherry blend, I won’t smoke anything else.

Great everyday smoke
A very good affordable smoke. I use this as an everyday smoke. Compared to other budget tobacco's, this is near the top.
5 out of 5
A great way to explore tobacco.
What an enjoyable smoke. Due to its nature its not going to be the same flavor from bag to bag, it's not even the same flavor from one bowl to the next, it constantly changes and I love it. It's a bit of an adventure every time. It has many different cuts of tobacco in it, from flakes, chunks, to string cuts, and is a great way to explore different tobaccos. Even with the changing profiles it's never disappointed me when I finish off a bowl. I highly recommend this blend and look forward to buying more.

Best of the Rest Aromatic is okay.
Best of the Rest aromatic is okay. It seems to have a good amount of cherry, of some sort, in it. Not a fan of cherry as it smokes hot and has more bite than I like to tolerate, but it was cheap and I'd wondered what I'd get.

Middleton's Cherry on Steroids
I don't really like flavored pipe tobacco...but I'm pretty sure someone who likes cherry-flavored pipe tobacco will like this blend. It's like Middleton's Cherry little cigars on steroids.

I have been smoking "Best
I have been smoking "Best of the Rest' exclusively, for 4 or 5 years now. It's as good and smooth as name brand tobacco and a lot cheaper. The past few years require tight finance control and this ribbon cut mystery blend enables my past time to continue. Similar to Sir Walter Raleigh Regular on room note.
5 out of 5
Not for me.
I gave this tobacco 5 stars because someone will probably enjoy smoking it. But I like the taste of tobacco...just plain tobacco. So I later purchased a pound of 4 Aces Silver from Pipes & Cigars...and it's just what I wanted in the first place. 4 Aces makes their blend from Virginia tobacco and Burley Tobacco...and that's about as close to Winston's tobacco as I can get. If you like Winstons, you should like this tobacco.

Best of the rest at a great price
I didn't expect much at such a low price, I was truly surprised! This has a pleasant room note is pleasing to all nice light vanilla taste very mild excellent on exhale, packs easily very slow burning very few relights. No after taste. Well worth the price. I can't wait to try the English next, if you enjoy a light areos this is it.a true bargain. Robert b

Good value. The blend was mostly burley with a little virginia which is what I already mix for 2X the price.

this last blend has been weak
I'm used to more rich, flavorful blends. I know you guys don't have any control over that but I'm not a huge "light blend" fan that's been shipping in this brand lately. Sadly there's no other choice out there for me.

Worth Every Penny
The Best of the Rest is a very good quality pipe tobacco. I usually smoke Captain Black regular blend and I find the Best of the RestIs a close second with wonderful aroma and a smooth, favorable taste. It is well worth and in fact surpasses its cost…

Pleasant Rest
The Regular blend BOTR is an excellent tobacco at a reasonable price. It is mild and smokes very well straight from the bag. There was a nice whiskey-seeming topping in the bag I bought. Not at all overpowering, and a nice surprise that saves the blend from being overly plain.

Works better blending with others
Well, it's a good filler. You can smoke it, but it needs something more to make it more like a tobacco for everyday use. I blended half a pound of this with a half pound of Mac Barens 7 seas regular that I put up in April 2018 (what, you don't let some blends age for 5 years?). Turned out very nice with a better smoke and room note than even I expected.and will last a long time. I have many others at the 5 year mark that I'll try blending with the remainder.

Excellent budget priced tobacco, certainly not budget quality. Lights and burns well without any harshness, pleasant taste. I usually prefer non aromatics however this is an exception, anxious to try the english blend. Equates to a single barrel bourbon!

I am extremely pleased with this package. The Roma pipe is well made and it smokes smooth. I guess the real surprise was the lighter. I have a drawer full of pipe lighters some very expensive some bargains and none really well. I reluctantly fueled up the Pipe and Cigar lighter and tried it out. It really works! I have been using it for two weeks and am really impressed.

Pleasantly Surprised
I ordered both the Aromatic and English versions and my review of them is below: 1. Both blends I received were a nice ribbon cut. 2. Both blends were a bit moist right out of the bag and smoked best with a little bit of drying time. 3. The Aromatic wasn't goopy or overly sweet. Tobacco flavor came through nicely. No tongue bite. Reminded me of Lane 1Q. 4. The English was what I would call a light English. By no means a Lat Bomb but definitely there. I found it to be a very pleasant smoke. Would I order again? Yes. I realize the next batch will probably be different than the batch reviewed here, but that's ok. From this experience Best of the Rest is one of the best deals for a pipe smoker.

Flavored Super Value
What can I say? For what it IS, it's not bad. It's basically your standard ribbon cut super value tobacco, like Gambler, or Four Aces brand. The "roll your own" pipe tobacco that comes in regular, menthol, and light? (I call it "pipe" tobacco, because were it anything else, it would be taxed differently). Anyway, it's that, but flavor infused. I wouldn't really call it an AROMATIC but I wouldn't be opposed to calling it flavored super value. It's like if you entered a neighborhood contest of best flavor infused "roll your own" pipe tobacco, and it won. So you took that pipe tobacco and entered it into a nationwide contest of best aromatic pipe tobaccos, alongside Captain Black, Borkum Riff, Sutliff, Mac Baren, and Half Half, and they sort of laughed at you and made you and made you take your product and join the audience, even though back in the neighborhood it still gets a weird sort of respect, you see. In fact, if you're looking to really stretch your dollar, you could probably blend this with some quality aromatics, and it would still be quite pleasant to the general public, because by itself, the aroma isn't bad. It has some bite, but it's surprisingly low for what it is. After blending, you wouldn't really notice it much (if at all). I guess what I'm trying to say is, this is probably one of the best tasting, most well balanced "filler" tobaccos I've had, but I wouldn't want to smoke it by itself. That's probably why they call it "Best of THE REST". 😉

Great daily pipe tobacco
I smoke a lot. This 16 ounce bag will last me 5 weeks. Best part about it, it's good! Medium flavor, nice aroma, doesn't bite the tongue. Way better than a bag of that stuff you would buy in a smoke shop (you know, the stuff that tastes like pencil shavings). There are better tasting and better smelling tobaccos that cost 8 times as much, but this is my go-to tobacco. I also like the English blend, but my family complains about the aroma, so I stick with this.

Best of the Rest pipe tobacco
I like vanilla aromatic blends and this had enough tones and aroma to fill that need. It did have a bit of a bite, but not too much. Only problem I had was trouble keeping it lit, but for the amount you get ... at that price, you can't go wrong.

First time buyer of this blend. Usually smoke Lane's or the Danish Black but I am really enjoying this and it is amazing value for the price.

Just get a bag.
This is my first review. I have been thoroughly satisfied with the Best of the rest aromatic blend. It’s unlike anything I’ve smoked honestly. It’s flavor is neither this or that, but rather just something special that I will likely buy often because the mix is different with each bag. At a pound of tobacco for this price? Why wouldn’t you try it? It’s the best deal you can find anywhere, and I promise you won’t be disappointed. The bag arrived ready to smoke, I threw it in my corn cob and went after it.

This is always my favorite tobacco, just like coffee I like to try different ones everytime I order, but it doesn't matter how much money I have spent on other brands this value priced and packaged tobacco has actually always been my favorite, and when I order a tabacco that I don't enjoy too much, I use this one to mix with it.

Best of the rest
Always an enjoyable blend. Best bang for your buck!

The name speaks for itself
I've been smoking Best of the Rest since 2019 and still to this day. I tend to stay with the products I like and I can afford. This is by far the Best price and a whole bag can last me a whole month. Makes me very happy. Hopefully wen I am able I want to try out some of the other tobacco. Maybe this month I might try the Norman Rockwell.

Cool, mellow, very nice smoke.
Very nice tobacco. Especially considering the price. Mellow, burns really nicely - not too hot or fast. It seems perfectly moist, but doesn't load up the pipe stem with water like some drier/harsher tobaccos I've tried. The scent and flavor fresh out of the bag is a little vague - I have no idea how I'd describe it. It's not my favorite, but it's also not overpowering. And as this will likely change batch to batch I won't knock it. All in all a very nice tobacco and a relaxing, everyday smoke.

This is a fantastic pipe smoking tobacco. The amount that you get is absolutely amazing for the price. The surprise about the amount that you get is fantastic for the money that you spend. It smells good and taste good.

Become the envy of your 'Baccy buddies
I'm about to purchased my tenth or so one-pound bag. I usually mix this 50-50 by weight with any decent black cavendish (whatever you'd enjoy by itself), then load it into clean jelly jars with tight lids, slap a date label on the jar, and squirrel them away in my tobacco cabinet. It's been fun, when sharing this with friends who come over to join me for a bowl or two in my well-ventilated man cave, to ask them what they think of my private blend. Maybe they're all just super polite? 'Cause they usually thank me for sharing my obviously expensive tobacco with them. Some won't believe me when I tell them what I just told you! For plentiful and super affordable bowls of smoking pleasure, give this a try.

Perfect title for an amazing pipe tobacco. You will not be disappointed with this buy. Fast delivery as well. ‘Pipes and Cigars’ is my new first choice place to buy my tobacco products. Thank you.

The aromatic bag I received
The aromatic bag I received didn't appear to be mixed but has a very nice flavor and burns well. Tastes much like Sutliff maple walnut. I know the mixture changes from bag to bag , but still a good deal. This is my first time buying Best of the rest but won't be my last.

Really nice blend
I've probably smoked 3 pounds of this tobacco and every one had a different smell outta the bag--once even smelled kinda flowery? lol but dang--it always smokes sooo smooth and cool --end up finishing the bag and wishing I had more--for the price you can't go wrong--best smoked in one of your less expensive pipes like a Missouri meerschaum because it may impart a aromatic scent to your pipe but still a great smoke to try

Actually the Best of the Rest
I bought it for RYO. I blended 1 third of OHM turkish and 2 thirds of BOTR. I didn't have to dry it out since it came with the perfect amount of humidity to be rolled once it was mixed. Very smooth, aromatic, slow burning, and a very nice flavor. I thought it will come with weird mixed flavors but no, it is homogeneous; a perfect and subtle aromatic pipe tobacco blend. Definitely buying this again !!

Never disappoints
I’m on my third bag, I always try to place the flavor quick before it changes & my mind most consistently goes to Nutella spread (hazelnut cocoa). I’m not experienced enough to begin placing exactly what ends up in here but with my budget I know the taste of cheap aromatics & this ain’t that. Keep this stuff flying off the shelves so it stays at this price! Will try the English next.

Might get me back into aromatics
I quit smoking aromatics years ago. I got this bag free as part of a promo deal, and it has refreshed my interest in the genre. This is a really nice blend with notes of cherry and vanilla. It's not cloyingly sweet, and smokes clean. If I ever run out (it's a big bag) I will buy another. Of course free is the best price, but the list price is pretty great too.

Best of the Rest has been my go to tobacco for several years. Smooth, mildly aromatic, good all day smoke. Sometimes a little on the moist side and the resealable bags don't. That said it's my #1 go to tobacco.

Great value, and quality tobacco
Great value for the money...says its a mix match but I think mine was just some kind of generic vanilla. Hardly any bite, looke to be of quality tobacco, mine smelt like vanilla cake throughout entire bag. Not a bad gig at all.

A genuine surprise.
looking at the online descriptions... It seems like everything but the kitchen sink used in this blend. It was a great price, and a good friend told me about it. So I thought I'd give it a whirl... I honestly didn't expect much. Boy was I surprised.... Mama always said this tobacco was like a box of chocolates.... You never know what you are going to get... No way to describe it. The flavor and aroma not only transition between bowls. BUT BETWEEN HITS. A very tasty and high quality tobacco. I would definitely recommended this one and I will be purchasing a lot more at that price. Excellent job guys.

1year UPDATE
I've now had my BOTR for just over a year,at first was very comparable to 1Q when my palate was a little less developed..but now,this blend SOARS above my first impressions.. it's slightly bolder,nuttier,the Virginia content in mine is very up front, Burley is very nutty,earthy,it has a slight plum/peach and smokiness too.im VERY pleased with this blend...still have 8oz.unopened in a jar over a year..gonna be great.

Best of the rest
This bag was better than the first bag I ordered The first bag came in a plain plastic bag and the only thing I could taste was menthol.had to doctor it up to make it palatable. frankly i think they screwed the order up and sent me cigarette tobacco. This time it came in the proper bag and it actually tastes like pipe tobacco.
5 out of 5
Just Right
I Like it well Enough to Buy another Bag ,It's Pleasently Mild and Flavorful enough to be a New standard order item to have in my cabinet for a Break from my Aromatics and Cavendish infused regulars...Makes for a Good Starter Pipe Smoke...

ONE OF THE BEST TOBACCO PURCHASES I HAVE MADE
I wasnt sure what to think of this blend at first. Threw a bag in the cart since they were running a deal for free shipping with any order with a LB of this stuff. Man was i surprised and couldnt be happier with this purchase! Have tried MANY tobaccos in the 2 years or so i have been on the pipe and in that time have tried a number of aromatics and every other kind as well. The bag i recieved tastes like a single blend rather than just a BAG OF SCRAPS, it has a Carmel note to it and is not a GOOPY AROMATIC and burns perfectly perhaps one of the best burning aromatics i have tried. Have recieved numerous compliments on the room note scent from total strangers. Took about a OZ with me on a recent camping trip and really got to know this blend during that time. It is sweet not not cloying and will not cause diabetes lol This is one i wish i had picked up another LB since i have no idea if it changes over time but will be jarring up some of this stuff for future use, highly recommended to anyone that likes a sweet change of pace or something to add to other tobaccos to help either the burn rate or add a bit of flavor.

Have purchased capt black here for years. Tried diff blends at pipesandcigars, some more, some less expensive than capt black. Saw Best of the Rest. Debated for two days before ordering. At half the price of the capt black I had real reservations on the quality. I pulled the plug and ordered. I am delighted at the quality. I will reorder when running low.

A Very Good Blend
A pretty decent smoke! I don't know if it's true, that this is "floor sweepings" (leftovers, combined), but the net effect is a fairly cool, mild and flavorful smoke. I generally smoke a Black Cavendish, and this is less flavorful...but very nice, for a Change. No harsh Bite, stays lit without trouble, there's a lot to like about this Blend. Especially at this Sale price, it's a No-Brainer! I am very pleased with this purchase. 16 oz. should last me awhile, too. :)

Yes Yes Yes, good stuff. will get more!
What the HAY is this ? Was very, very hesitant all this time, saw the Best of The Rest bags on P&C but thought it would be a crapper. Only got my first bag because it was free. Opened the bag, delightful aroma, packed a bowl as usually will, lit up, and WOW, was I surprised. Excellent flavor, aroma, moisture content, everything was really good. Sad thing was, as I'm puffing away, I can see a can of Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic sitting on my coffee table, and although SWR is a great smoking blend, I'm wondering why I spend so much on it when BOTR was there all along at a MORE THAN REASONABLE price.

I really did not expect much, then it showed up in what looked like a super value pipe tobacco bag and I thought I made a big mistake. I am probably 10 t 15 bowls in and I am pleasantly surprised. I took one start off because no mater what pipe I use or how clean said pipe is I do get a little pipe spit, and I do not smoke a hot bowl. Outside of that no complaints.

Not as Advertised
P&C needs to change their product description and be honest with customers. P&C no longer collects their own leftovers, but buys "leftovers" from manufacturers. My last order of BOTR was packaged by Lane. The product may be fine for many customers, but the source is not as advertised.

The simple pleasures.
I received my tobacco today and it is so amazingly good! The products and service of this company are the best! As if a nice pipe of tobacco and stroll was not enough to remember my grandfather and honor his memory, people stop and comment on how rare a sight it is. People who are involved in cell phones 24/7 are everywhere. A gentleman with a pipe stops traffic in an otherwise weary world.

BOTR: great quality, great price.
I don't believe BOTR is really a hodgepodge of tobacco, it's too evenly cut and blended and each order had been identical. Many products out there are marketed as "seconds" or "surplus" when in fact they are manufactured for such marketing. That being said, I tried it and love it, and will definitely buy again. It seems to be a high quality, it's very aromatic and flavorful and absolutely no bite. At a pound for this price, you cannot go wrong. Happy piping, all!

REALLY A GOOD TOBACCO
I BOUGHT THREE BAGS OF THIS AND BEGAN MIXING MOST OF THIS IN JARS WITH OTHER TINS. BEEN USING IT MOSTLY FOR SEEING HOW LONG I CAN USE IT. TO MY SURPRISE IT SEEMS TO GET BETTER WITH AGE. I GOT ABOUT A BAG STILL LEFT.

Great buy
Tried it out a couple years ago and liked it so much it's the only one I buy now. Try to buy early in the week because it seems to include lighter blends as opposed to the dark that tends to burn.

BEST OF THE REST.
I have found this to be one of the best, smoothest smoke and flavor I have tried. I prefer Vanilla Cavendish in any brand with a strong vanilla aroma.

It was very nice, but nothing really special. I enjoyed it and have smoked it all, but would probably not buy it again.

Great stuff!
It's been a few years since I last tried BofTR and this is a terrific batch. More like a regular blend than a mix of leftovers, a nice surprise. Apparently it now comes direct from Lane. If you're looking for a working in the garage (but quality) smoke this is a fine choice. Can't beat the $$!

Inexpensive doesn’t mean cheap
Mild smooth smoking tobacco at a reasonable price.

No the quality I had come to expect...
When this was actually the "best of the rest" when Russ was blending, I received some very good blends. Never quite the same - but always good, and usually tending toward the natural English type of smoke. The last two orders - I have received "commercial bags" of cheap tobacco - not terrible, but far from the quality I had grown to expect. Will be looking for a better "cheap" smoke.

Make your purchase with GREAT caution!
The very first 16 oz bag I had was great. I was happy as all get out! I rationed it out over a 4 month period just so I could thoroughly enjoy at special times. I was so impressed, I ordered two one-pound bags. Wow. Both bags were totally different and both "terrible". One bag was very dark and woody. Stems were present in every pinch. The taste and aroma were close to what I assume Alfalfa would taste like. Totally unsatisfactory. It bit my tongue with a pain similar to a staple inserted. The second bag was a lighter blend and yes the taste was similar to a very bad cigar! It was only after that that I was informed how it was collected and what it was. Read the description very carefully, that is my caution.

None better than "Best of the Rest"
On my THIRD order of "Best of the Rest". Have tried over 30 samples of other product. Some of the best, ones I like, are Captains Blacks Varieties. None of them are better than "Best of The Rest ! If you blend it you spoil it. Only one other comes cloase and that is Captain Black's Bronz. Having said that, it (Bronz) is much more costly. Best of the REST is now my ONLY brand.

For 16oz of quality tobacco this is a great deal ... better than average smoke for sure ...

Best of The Rest
Currently smoking my fourth order of BOTR. I really appreciate the new packaging. The first two orders arrived in their simple zip top bags, and were horrible dry. Once properly hydrated, they smoked very nice. With the new packaging, the tobacco arrives very moist, and smokeable immediately. I was a little hesitant in the beginning, with the first order, figuring the quality might be a bit underwhelming. I was SO wrong. Its been a good, all-day smoke. Great flavor, and aroma. This won't be my last order for BOTR! And again, I love the new packaging.

A GREAT go to treat!
By far the Best shredded blend ever. It is my main smoke, mild, flavorful and aromatic.

Great buy
Got my package today, delivered day earlier than expected. Upon opening the box, I got note of chocolate 1st, which was surprising considering I had 6 oz of Latakia blends in same box. I have tried 1 bowl so far. NIce room note, easy burning down to fine white ash. Little more of an Aro than I usually smoke but will plan on buying again. Great price and the Mrs. likes the room note even though she described it as thin mints (Girlscout cookies).

Best of the Rest Review
Not my first experience with this mixed base pipe tobacco. Every batch has been slightly different but every time "very tasty" and in good condition. The price is very reasonable as well. Try a pound with an open mind and enjoy. Steve Bentonville Arkansas

Good smoke for the price
A well balanced smoke with the right mix of sweet and buttery, with a little heat thrown in. I prefer the ribbon cut and find this blend better than any drugstore brand. I'll continue buying if it stays this good!

The best period !
Every bag i tried was just as good - or better than other economy brands i tried. Had several bags that were just as good as the high priced brand names. Best table scraps i ever had !
4 out of 5
The price is Right!
The price is right! What I got looks like ribbon cut Virginia with a good dose of Vanilla. Can't detect any other tobaccos in this bag. It does have good flavor and it burns to a light gray ash. It is a little moist straight out of the bag. I'm thinking this is made up of not so much end of the day as it is the machine cutting of one particular tobacco. That being said, if the bags were consistently like this one, it would still be a super bargain.

Trying this was a superb pleasure. Mild, mellow and aromatic. Burns slow and consistent. I was surprised about the price for the one pound as it fit the budget while providing hours of enjoyment.

I got this tobacco and it tasted kind of chocolatey and nutty and you could tell it was a mix of different tobaccos. Every bowl was great from the time I lit a bowl to the time it was ashes!! Sucks that it changes though😕 the blend I got would be what I always buy!! But I'm sure knowing pipes and cigars, that every bag is descent!! Very happy to have found this tobacco!! Thanks p&c for making tobacco for people who can't afford expensive tobacco!!

First time purchasing BOR, could not wait to try it. Looks like ribbon cut Virginia, plus? Smokes nice a very slight bite, still enjoyable. That is the reason 4 stars. Super fast delivery, ordered tues. received on fri. WOW! P&C is back in the groove. Super!

Great blend
The bag I received about week ago is just what was hoping for. It smokes great. The variety of tones is perfect. My everyday tobacco has been CARTER HALL years, but I may have switch to this. I have tried it in my briars, meerschaums, and my corncobs (I have about 30 pipes).

What's happening here.
I liked the Best of the Rest when I felt it was actually what it was said to be-left over or unlabeled tobacco. This bag has all the earmarks of farming the task out to a third party and seems to mainly consist of long shredded cigarette tobacco. I'll try this once more, but if it's the same product I'll jut order something else.
Customer Testimonials
Absolutely love the batch of "best of the rest" I got about a week and a half ago. I have about 10 oz. of it in a large jar aging, and 6 oz. of it in a bag that I smoke regularly. Really enjoyed this tobacco right out of the gate, and can't wait to see how it ages! This is my first time aging tobacco, so fingers crossed!

I have been searching for a everyday blend and best of rest is it I love it and great price to thank you P&C for such a great bargain this is my everyday smoke now on A++

B of Rest, 2nd reveiw. I mixed B of R with VIR GOLD BUTTERED RUM 50 50 and lo & behold I got a slight english blend. I did the mix twice. Same results, happy
WF of Canon City, CO
I received my 1st order of Best of the Rest, but not my last. It was cool , stayed lited, and I make it my #1 choice. When I get low I will reorder and hope for the best.
WF of Canon City, CO
Ordered some knowing the variable nature, aromatic with a decent amount of Cherry, but of more underlying complexity than a drugstore blend. Little bite though somewhat moist. Would make a decent blend for daily use if you enjoyed an aromatic. Put it in a jar and I'll revisit it in a week or two.
EB of Eden, NY
Not bad, batch I got mostly a Virginia, burley, and cavendish blend with a bit of cherry, but at the same time not like straight cherry. Very pleasant room note. Smoked slow in a meerschaum, didn't have any bite. Usually use a cherrywood but figured I'd use a different one in case it came up a bit moist. I put it in a jar and I'll revisit it in a week or so. I'll order again in a month or two, if it's drastically different I'll jar it again, if similar I'll combine them and intersperse it with others for variety. Price is right, I didn't have any objections with it.
EB of Eden, NY
I like my bag. Overtones of liquor and fruit but nothing specific jumps out at you. Then in the background you pick up a little spice, some smokiness. Smokes good. Tastes good. Keeps getting better the longer it sits in the jar. Wife always comments on the aroma when I smoke a bowl. Thumbs up.
MM of Metropolis, IL
I dont know what to say about this one. When I 1st opened it it smelled like crap. So I put it up until I needed a smoke. To my surprise the tobaccos' great. Now that being said I might have just got lucky but with the price I say just try and see what you get.
BG of Brewerton, NY
It is a overall good blend the room note well don't know at all I'm not allowed to smoke in the house. My wife don't want me to smoke in the house. Some she doesn't care about most of the time it I need to go outside. For the price one can't go wrong to stock up and can always trade for something better or add to it to make the taste better.
OS of Garland, TX
This is a great tobacco for me since I like Aromatic and English blends. This smokes with a lot of flavor since the Aromatic blends fall short on the flavor side. Burns well to the bottom and stays lit. This is great with a cold beer. Will order a pound next time.
DC of Cameron Park, CA
well I think stuff taste like a cigar did not like the taste at all.
JH of Gainesville, GA
What a fantastic deal! I am about to order my second pound.
CJ of Martinsville, IN
I'm sure the upcoming holiday has a lot to do with the mixture I received, but I am really pleased with my order. It arrived very moist and needed some drying time, it had a wonderful aroma and minimal relights. I will not be afraid to order this on a regular basis.
MW of Piketon, OH
Good value. Always a different variety.
GL of Henderson, NV
An okay blend, once it dries for a few days. I stick to Latikia, and I was expecting at least some in my "off the countertop left-overs," but the label that says "Best of the Rest" was stuck over another sticker that read "Aromatic Blend".....not my first choice. If I would have known I was getting a straight aromatic blend, I would have passed it up, not saying that I didn't expect a lot of scraps to be aromatic, just not the Whole bag. Overall, not a bad smoke, and very flavorful......but I do feel like I was possibly given the wrong product, just relabeled and moved off the shelf.
WB of Braselton, GA
Not bad, but a little rough.
JP of NEPTUNE, NJ
I have bought two pounds of this. The first pound was kinda like lane 1Q with some latakia thrown in and I liked it. A good everyday smoke and good to blend with. The second pound I just received smells amazing and tastes like rum with hints of chocolate, burns white, no bite..very good.
DD of waldron, AR
I decided to try a pound of this stuff with my second pipes & cigars order. I'm new to pipe smoking, and have only smoked aromatics, and some Christmas cheer. When I got this package in the mail it smelled so spicy that I literally had to take it to the garage because it was giving me a headache. I considered giving it away, but decided to jar it and see what a little time would do. I came back 5 months later, and it is great! The overwhelming Perique or Latakia or whatever it was, has really mellowed out. It's now one of my favorites. I can't believe I was going to get rid of it. I'm looking forward to buying another pound and seeing what kind of surprise I'm in for.
AL of Marietta, OK
Blend varies but the best value for quantity.
LF of Eldorado, IL
Varies but generally very good. Good value!
RR of San Diego, CA
I'm going to stock up, if your looking for a great smoke either for all day, morning, afternoon or evening, this is one to have on hand all the time. Smooth, no bite, great room note, awesome taste. Its just like Forest Gump said: its like a box of chocolates, you don't know what you'll get, its all good. I hope they keep it going and the price is GREAT.
AF of Nancy, KY
This stuff is nice. a cheap way to fill up your "I'm too broke to buy more tobacco, at least I have this" cellar. It smokes well and is different every time you order. a good bang for your buck.
AG of West Valley City, UT
First let me say I am happy for those who have received wonder blends as the reviews say. My expereince had been different. Never, ever again will I buy this stuff. I've bought it twice and both times it was aweful. I know the old saying holds true, "You get what you pay for". Even at this low price it is not worth the money to me
SB of Clarkson, KY
I got either pink lemonade or cotton candy. It's good.
DG of Trenton, NJ
Surpisingly even. A little of this and a little of that seems to balance the flavors out nicely, if you're an epicurean with butterfly-like appetites like me. If your mantra is "variety is the spice of life" then give this a try. Nice thing is, no two batches are the same. At this price you have very little to lose and lots to trade away.
BC of Venice, CA
A very good, if a bit generic, tobacco. Smokes incredibly smooth with zero tongue bite. The room note is unoffensive. It is a light aromatic with a very slightly sweet taste. Would absolutely recommend for anyone who is just starting out with pipe smoking and wants to get the hang of it before trying much more expensive and finicky blends.
TP of Chantilly, VA
When I first tasted my bag of Best of the Rest I thought it was so weird that I couldn’t smoke it. I smoked it the next time and it was wonderful. I really enjoyed the flavors in it and the sweetness. I will buy it again.
CH of Louisville, KY
Just received my first Best of the Rest order! A pleasant aroma when I opened the bag, nothing really standing out maybe a hint of vanilla. Using it to break in my new Falcon pipe that I received with this order. So far it has been most enjoyable, packs easily, stays lit and burns down to a nice white ash. Will be ordering more!
JK of San Bernardino, CA
