Bishop's Move

Keep smoking it! Its a fantastic blend, one of Uhle's best. I might suggest smoking it fairly steady over the course of several days, then take a long break from it. At least a week or more, then return to it and see what you experience. I've done this to other blends I couldn't get a handle on and its a pretty good way to get some experience with the blend, both as a daily smoke and then after the break to return to it like it was a first time taste.

Sounds to me like a Navy blend of some kind.

Please post the link to this site ,thanks

Pipetrucker thought it was one of the best blends ever.

I'm ordering some this week. A seller on ebay sent me a sample with a pipe I bought and it's become one of my all-time favorite English blends. Yummy, savory stuff -- fragrant and smokey, but without being sweet. I think there's some plain white burley in the blend, which makes it cool burning and dry without the potential bite you'd get with more VA's in the blend.
1.5oz is only $6.75. The next step up is 7oz, but they used to only do email or phone, so they'd probably do 2 or 4 oz if that's what you want.

Yep, I just ordered some Bishop's Move, today (plus Perfection Plug and Blend 00, neither of which I've had). As I said earlier, Bishop's Move is just about the top of my latakia blend list.
To me, Bishop's Move just tastes wonderful and tangy. It's sort of "dry" (i.e., not sweet) in a way that seems to me unique. I believe it has a portion of burley in the base tobaccos that probably cuts the sort of sweetness you get from more heavily VA-based blends. For me, that makes the blend that much more smooth and easy to smoke. Cooler burning, too.
Also, I'm wondering if other members had tried ordering off of the new Uhle's website before. For some reason the Bishop's move PayPal button doesn't work. Every other tobacco seems to work fine --- puts it right in your cart. I emailed them about it a couple of weeks ago, and they responded initially, but never wrote back about my order,nor did they fix the PayPal function for their most famous blend. When I ordered today, I just called them on the phone. Very friendly folks -- and by all accounts they're always good to deal with.

Being from Michigan, I can't order directly from them for some reason. I had my last order sent to my son out of state and I picked it up from him later.

Wow, that's really strange. I knew taxes on orders from within WI were higher, but I didn't know they don't ship to MI.

There's some of that in the box pass. I took some, have smoked one bowl, so far, and wasn't that impressed. Not that it's bad - just don't think it's my cuppa. I'll smoke the rest, though, to see. And if they don't ship to Michigan, I won't worry about getting more even if I like it. Lotsa good blends out there.

I've smoked this blend before it was my first English blend got it from Bookworld in Marquette, Mi with my first pipe years ago. I would like to get some more to try it again.

One of my go to's. Smokes great in nearly any pipe, even cobs...or especially cobs...or

Mine arrived in the mail, today. Smells great! Haven't smoked it in months, but very excited to try it again.
