This past summer I was gifted some Uhle's Rise - Father's Day Blend. This is one of the best pipe tobaccos I've tried in quite a while. It's a VA blend that smokes like a dream - easy to keep lit and burns very clean to a fine ash. A delicious blend that makes me wish I were better at describing the flavors. The "tin note" is wonderful - no obvious topping/casing but the smell of rich tobacco. Consistently good from pipe to pipe. I enjoyed it so much that I contacted Uhles to ask them what tobaccos were included. The response: "The Rise was a mix of long cut Virginia tobacco and was an English blend so there were no toppings or flavorings."
I'm a huge fan of their blends and I highly recommend Rise - Father's Day Blend. I don't see it on their website, but I wouldn't hesitate to contact Uhles to see if it's still available. Just terrific stuff!
