Has anyone tried these "Pipe Republic" blends from Germany?

[Aylesbury Pike]

Wondering if anyone has tried any of the "Pipe Republic" blends which you can get from Cigar World in Germany? I believe that most are made by Dan Tobacco (except for "Isle of Thanet" which is made by K&K.) They also all seem to be named after places in Kent, in the South East of England.

The four that have caught my eye are three Englishes and a Virginia Kentucky Burley Perique coin cut.
These are:

Isle of Thanet - virginia, latakia, orientals
Broadstairs -virginia, latakia, orientals, perique and kentucky
Northforeland - Virginia and Latakia
Three Quid Twist - Virginia, Kentucky, Burley, Perique

I'd love to hear if anyone has tried these or any other Pipe Republic blends in this series.

Cheers!

Does CigarWorld (Tabac Benden) ship tobacco to the US?

Unfortunately i'm not sure as I am in Europe. I did listen to an interview from a couple of years ago where Christian Probst from Tabac Benden mentioned that they don't ship to the US but that may very well have changed.

The interview was good, by the way!

I'll have to post a review once I've had some experience with them. "Isle of Thanet" has some positive, if not limited, reviews. TB say the concept was an old school, "pure" English blend: 40% Latakia, 40% orientals, 20% Virginia and nothing else.

I have a sample of the Isle of Thanet, but I have not smoked it yet. I review it here, when I have. Also, I am curious about their new oriental blend.

Thanks! I'd be very interested in hearing your thoughts once you try that sample.

OK my friend is visiting from Germany and is going to bring me a few of these blends to try so I will also post reviews once I try them.
