Favorite Wilke blends?

[ClenchedBilliard]

As the title suggests, what is your favorite Wilke blend(s)? I’ve only recently began to delve into their ginormous catalog and placed a sampler order. I went for 4 picks that seemed as though they would hit pretty safely in the ol wheelhouse (#13, #192, Jackson, and Crystal Palace). I find myself now wondering if these wind up being winners, what to try next?

Best Make excellent English blend.

I've only tried a handful of their blends but so far it would be Rum and Maple and Vermont Maple Cavendish. Just about the time of year to dip into them.

 

[ClenchedBilliard]

Rum and Maple almost made it in the order, I definitely see it making the cut on a second order.

Taste is a very subjective thing. Why not just pick up one or a couple of their samplers?

Peanut butter and chocolate is solid if you like sweet blends. Also Butterscotch Cavendish is great too if you know . . . .like butterscotch and cavendish.

Surburgs Crystal Palace

I actually like the peanut butter and pb n chocolate too.

Admittedly I need to try more Wilke blends, there's so many.

That’s actually what prompted me to start this thread. Their repertoire is so extensive I was hoping to get some insight.

Wilke Continental is my favorite. I received an email only yesterday announcing it's current availability as well as next week's Peanut Butter drop

Before it was introduced last year, their Surbrug Crystal Palace was one I really favored, and still favor/buy/smoke/keep on hand.
I'm certain my introduction to Wilke tobaccos was their Peanut Butter & Chocolate as well as the Peanut Butter. @John Brandt suggested on the packing slip of that initial order that I not be surprised if the latter was to become a favorite - it did!

PSOI Hearth of Galway is also very enjoyable

for Aromatics I will second the recommendations made for
Rum & Maple as well as
Butterscotch Black Cavendish, reviewed on these forums

I tend to place my Wilke orders in larger quantiles - they've never disappointed

I’ve had my eye on Lizzie Blood Red Virginia for a while.

It and the Lizzy Blood Red English are great.

I have been thinking about posting a thread asking the very same question...

I'm a fan of Sutliff bulk Galleria Rum & Maple, wonder how it compares...??

Both Lizzies are great. No. 515 (Rathbone) and No. 72 (Cronkite) are iconic and really good. Vermont Maple, Hearth of Galway, Bestmake, High Hat, No. 191 ……..

I’ve gone the sample route a few times and also added more of those I find I like. Just had a decent order last week come in and have a list to order next week for some winter cellaring.

There are a few others I like and am forgetting.

Read the descriptions, experiment, more samples!!!

71st Street, Rumcake, Rum and Maple …

 

[Jon888]

I had my first bowl of Pipemaker’s Choice the other day and it blew my mind.. also ordered some 515 and hope to get to that next. Lizzy Blood Red Virginia and Gramercy Park are definitely in the next round.

I like No. 515 and No. 524.

I haven’t met a Wilke blend that I didn’t appreciate. I think I smoked about 25 of them, starting perhaps 20 or 25 years ago.

I came across some Santa’s blend I jarred on receipt last December - had a bowl earlier - it’s good!
