I tried turbotin today and the site is down...hopefully just temporarily as it is pretty handy
Having finally gotten around to trying Brighton, I’d have to say that I have a new favorite.
Sable… shhhhhhh. Nothing to see here folks, keep snatching up other blends.
I imagine you have some high quality mixing Perique in your cellar. I keep a mix of 22% SJ Perique to 78% Brighton. It is one of the best VaPers I have. 22% is the key number. I experimented ( a LOT) before finding that magic number. Give it a try…
Both are great tasting blends but of the 2 you mentioned, my choice would be Dunbar.
My favorites are
Stonehaven
Pembroke
Brighton
Peacehaven
Woodbridge
Margate
Dunbar
Dorchester
Penzance
Tilbury
And So to Bed
St. Ives
That's pretty much in order of preference and also cellar depth.

Stonehaven and Penzance, duh.
Many pipe tobaccos are good, some lackluster, and a few downright bad. But these two hardest-to-find blends by Esoterica are absolutely transcendent. Every time I light one up I have a borderline ecstatic experience where I hear singing, my eyes roll back, and I feel tingly, like I weight nothing. Then I settle in for a 2-hour long orgasm of flavor that ends with me exhausted and my pipe filled with a tiny pile of pure white ash, like the ash from burning angel's wings. It makes me want to sing.
Nah, not really. I prefer Dunbar and Blackpool.

+1000
Those two blends showed me what not to do to a pipe.?
Penzance smells like a tidepool. I had an unopened bag I sold in the past and it nearly ruined my kitchen cupboard. It’s horrible shit, not kidding.
My focus for this drop was Brighton and Cardiff. I didn't like Cardiff at first but after smoking it for a few days acclimated to it and found it quite enjoyable. So I added a few bags of each. Stonehaven and Dunbar were the targets for a friend. I have enough of those to last me the rest of my life.
Dude ... you're trippin'.
Tidepools are awesome and Penzance, while not as spectacular as it's reputation implies, is pretty decent shit.
My favorite Eso so far is Pembroke.
Still looking to try Ramsgate.
I had an opened bag mildew. Probably my fault, I suppose, but I never bought another. "Tidepool" is remarkably apt, as my nose remembers the experience.
Kind of like that one off meerschaum that permanently smells of ocean water.
Well of course it smells like a tide pool. It's right on the Atlantic Ocean! You're lucky a pirate didn't jump out of the bag! ?
