Well, I ordered and received my first purchases of Best of the Rest from Pipes and Cigars (both aromatic and English), so I thought I'd give my take. The price point was spectacular (and on sale), so I had to give them a try. I have yet to smoke the English, but the aromatic is really, really good stuff! And it appears uniform throughout the bag. I can't quite place the aroma (is it a vanilla?), but there's a slight boozy note. It smokes wonderfully, so I feel like I really got a steal. On the down-side, the packaging of both bags was a drag. I had to cut the entire top off the aromatic and store it in tupperware - the re-seal was useless. And the English bag has the aroma of the tobacco - thus it is not an air-tight seal. I'll need to buy something to store it in as well. But again, the English appeared to be also quite uniform. I expected a hodge-podge of tobaccos thrown together like leftover sawdust. I am pleasantly surprised and now have enough tobacco to last me a good long while. What a deal on quality tobaccos! That's my take; best to all.
