Just to clarify about the pic, although it says 14 oz. I'd guess the amount as only 1 or 2 oz. They prolly just reuse the same sticker on the packages.
I got mine today....problem is the post office is closed and i only have a po box so i have to wait till monday to pick up the actual package....
I just got back from a Disney Land trip with my 5 year old to find my sample form Sterling! Two zip lock bags, one the bargain blend and 1776 Sweet Briar! Both smell great and can not wait to try them. I only took snuff with me on my trip so my next bowl will be a very special treat after a week of no smoke. :

Got my sampler from Sterling four days after asking for it. One oz of Country Club and another of Bargain. The Bargain comes from all the tobacco they have left on the table after mixing all the blends, so it's random baccy. Both ounces were quality, you could tell the Bargain had not been blended on purpose, it was all over the place, but good tobacco. The Country Club is nice, with a flavor I haven't had before. Thanks, Pete!

Ok I will stop crying that I didn't get mine. It came yesterday. Sutlif Tobac Noir- good blend, not a favorite but I did like the bottom of the first bowl. It may grow on me.
So I have been smoking it all day in several different pipes and ITS GREAT. Its seems to smoke best in my bent billiards. Tried it in a bulldog and it just didn't burn right. Its almost impossible to overpack this mixture. Its got a good earthy tone, it tasts kinda like...well I can't put my finger on it. The aftertaste reminds me of shortcut to mushrooms but the smoking flavor is unique.
Several years ago I ordered the Altadis sampler off the Pipe Show Online site and about 3 weeks later a huge box arrived with what must have been twenty pouches of tobacco. Except for the Mixture #79 (which quickly went in the round file after I tried a little in a cob and confirmed it was still the worst pipe tobacco ever made) most of the blends in the box were smokeable and there were a few that were very good. I especially liked the Dutch Masters Cherry Cavendish, the Fox and Hound, and some of the Iwan Ries blends. It was a very generous gesture on their part to send out that many samples. One thing that did irk me were all the pipe smokers that got on the internet and slammed Altadis because most of the blends were aromatics. I would be willing to bet that many of them never smoked most of the blends in the box. I think Altadis is to be commended for trying to promote pipe smoking in this day and age.

Just placed a sample request with Sterling, but so many different tobacco's sounded good I couldn't make up my mind. So I said to surprise me. I tell you what when I smoked a pipe the first go around about 8 years ago there was never so many selections that I was aware of...just the B&M's. Now that I have started back being a piper my head hurts every time I go to make my TAD order.
Just filled their form out. I hope in three years when I receive this sample that I will still be a contributing member of this fine forum.
I know it varies but I really like the bargain blend from Sterling. I'm going to order a pound of it next month.
