Actually smoking some Treebeard at the moment.
For me, the Isengard is the shining star, the Old Toby the most forgettable. Haven't smoked the Longbottom, but would concur on the other two.
Good review.

For me , the only one I plan to order more of is Treebeard. That one i liked a lot. The others were good but not all that good for my tastes.

Thanks again Gentlemen.

I try to be honest.

I really believe Mr. Bob Schafer has done a magnificent job creating all of these blends.

Some to me were near misses, but hey they are quite tasty.

I've only smoked the Shortcut To Mushrooms and think it is amazing. Click my link there and look what I put in the description for flavoring. (Sometimes when you are doing tedious data entry, you need to have a little fun.
Thanks for taking the time to post those reviews and link them up Lawrence.

One of the reasons I like these forums is - it is always exciting to read a "Eureka" kind of an experience. Lawrence based on your review on "Old Toby" I immediately went out and smoked a bowl (as I had some stashed).
Here are my impressions:
Vanilla...Check

Grass...Grass? You mean like pot? Or mowed grass?...hmmm...grumble grumble...balderdash! Hmmm exhale through the nose...Okay! There it is! ... Check

Perique...Check (uh, sort of - got to be the lightest touch of this spice I have ever encountered in a blend.

Multi Layered... with flavors of hickory and whisky...Check!

Cool smoking...yup! Check and double Check!

Overall - I like this blend a lot and glad I had the foresight to order 4 ounces from the sample they sent me. Old Toby goes perfect with a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Salud Amici!

Shortcut to Mushrooms and Ruins of Isengard were my favourites. Treebeard was decent in the sample pack, but when I re-ordered an ounce of it, it didn't seem the same. Then again, I might have mixed it up with Longbottom Leaf. Old Toby was my least favourite.
Just as a side note, if you are planning on trying them, don't go with the sample pack. Instead buy an ounce of each, it only costs about $6.00 more and you get a much larger sample than the sample pack provides.
Either way, you can't go wrong with these blends.

Yeah... not dissing samplers but.. it's simple math. There's another "sampler" from one of our beloved sponsors, and it's $3 more just for the honor of adding (4) 50g tins to your cart lol
I get the feeling from your review that you didn't like Treebeard so much? But still gave it a solid 4/5?
You didn't say you didn't like it, but I'm trying to read in between the lines because you talked more about movies and drinks than the tobacco lol.
Do you still stand by that review?

Thanks for the reviews Lawrence ... I think I need to give Treebeard a try.
I'm tempted to order Longbottom Leaf and Old Toby just because they're smoked in Lord of the Rings.
Only one I've tried is Shortcut to Mushrooms and it is very good. :puffy:
