I think I like this stuff. After only one bowl though, I can’t quite put my finger on why.

Also, the tin note reminds me of Tinder Box (McClelland) 1928. Awesome tin note. If memory serves, I’m also tasting similarities here during my second bowl.
I have to admit, the more I smoke ESB, the more I like it.
A home run, for sure.
Hey @shaneireland, why didn’t you hype this stuff up more in your Tasting Notes video? This is a good blend. @jeremyreeves
I was pleasantly surprised when I popped the tin; not sure what I was expecting. Also just had one bowl (the first in my Peterson Aran, per another thread) so far, enjoyed it, but will save more details for a few more.
Gifted a tin and I hate to say it but it is really good. Kind of light in the burley taste which is perfect for me in the summer and as I smoke OJK all day long. Orientals add just a light touch that really draws me in. I like orientals that come and go a bit in taste. Burns pure white.
Hit and miss when trying to choose which new blend to try but wish I had picked up 20 tins instead of my zero!

Wish I would have bought more than 4... Oh well. There is a lot of tobacco out there to discover still!
The more I smoke it, the more I like it.
Agreed. My most favorite tobaccos appear to be consistently available.
But if/when they do another release, I can see picking up another few.
It must be that crackrock leaf they used, from Detroit (or Indianapolis). I can't say I've come across any blend quite like it before.
Same here. Will be in search of more soon
Just finished my first bowl of Eight State. I didn't have high hopes for this one, but it is really good stuff.
If anyone is still looking to get some Eight State Burley Payless Cigars and Pipes has some available, in fact they're the only online retailer I've seen that still has any in stock. I just bought a tin from them a few minutes ago.
Thanks I went ahead and picked some up. They charge shipping but no sales tax. There may be a few I left
On a side note I was looking through my last order there, it was almost 3 years ago. OGS @$3 a tin! i had ordered 30 tins..
Looking through my buying history, I'm coming up on a year with no tobacco purchases.
Iwan Ries also has it I believe.
I ended up with 44. LOL
43 was not enough and 45 would be crazy
