The local b&m has a deal where if you bring in your pipe they'll give you a free bowl of any of their bulks as a sample. Last week I tried my first english blend (PS english oriental supreme) and I really liked it. While searching the net for prices I noticed that the eos has the same description as PS english luxury. Does anyone know what the difference is between the two tobaccos is?

I don't know, but I've had the one you tried and PS Balkan Supreme and they are both awesome! I tend to favor the Balkans but the Balkan Supreme was the best of the two.
English Luxury and Oriental Supreme, while containing basically the same ingredients, are different enough that there is a discernible difference to most anyone who smoke them. English Luxury, IMO, has a peppery, charred meat flavor that isn't present in Oriental Supreme. Personally I like English Luxury a little bit more than Oriental Supreme. YMMV.

Hey Sup, welcome to the site.
I don't have the time served to have anything "aged" yet, but when it comes to LBF vs Escudo I like LBF if I'm on the move or have a smaller window to smoke. Escudo I enjoy when I'm being lazy and watching the cars go by on the street.

sup, supdog, welcome aboard the boards and stuff.
Peter Stokkebye does make some nice aromatics, I like their PS-24 Nougat. Optimum and B&B are alright for cavendish.
I also like their Balkan Supreme, but I'm starting to think that I need to try some of their other english blends too.
I have a few of their other blends I haven't tried yet.

ive smoked both and really enjoyed them. as others have mentioned, ya cant beat the price. as for the LBF, its another winner in my books. so far ive enjoyed everything ive smoked of Stokkebye's and would recommend them to anyone!
all i have really tried is stokkebyes blends and i really enjoy them. eos is at the moment my favorite. his Aromatic Dutch Sliced is very tasty aswell.
I tend to agree with your take here and I do prefer English Luxury to the Oriental Supreme. However I very much prefer Proper English over both. All are good values price-wise.
Because of this thread I dug into my stash of Peter Stokkebye I hadn't gotten around to trying.
English Oriental Supreme - in short, too much oriental, not enough english. The flavors come together all wrong for my palette.
Peaches and Cream - This blend has cavendish in it, but the flavors that come through are all from the virginias and burleys. it has just a hint of sweetness, and the body of the smoke is what gives the impression of cream and peaches. It's actually quite smooth and even tasting. this is another aromatic I can add to my list of preferred.

Stopped in the local b&m and asked about Texas Ranger. It's Lane's RLP-6. I loaded a bowl of 1Q as a sample. They also have BCA. While I was there I bought an inexpensive churchwarden and got 2 oz of tobacco free. I chose one oz of each English Oriental Supreme and English Luxury. Both were on the dry side so she threw in a couple of humi-discs to rehydrate them.
