What's the Lowdown on Uhle's?

[Arthur Frayn]

Apparently this is one excellent burley blend I haven't tried.

Same here. Astonished that I missed this.

 

[makhorkasmoker]

I’m going to read up on them at tobacco reviews, but can anyone tell me if they have any straight “power burleys “?

 

[quietlife]

I have not had Uhle's. This is all great info!
I'll find some blend 44 to try

Being the burley lover you are, I would say it's a must.

 

[pantsBoots]

Has anyone ever tried their house brand cigars? If so, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts.

 

[SBC]

I'm sitting on maybe pounds of dried out 00 and 44 that I don't want, as I'm not a burley smoker.

I got them off a dead guy, at an estate auction -- they came with some Virginias that I did want.

They're still in their large bags, and have been for years. They're bone dry, obviously.

Anybody want them?

 

[Auxsender]

I might be wrong but I can’t imagine 3 ounces of widely available and still produced Uhle’s is worth $25 shipped to me. Exotic and totally unique HU blends shipped from Germany cost less. Pass.

 

[ADKPiper]

Every blend listed is on the Gold Standard Blends list
I'm working my way through that list myself and so far I have not been disappointed.
The Consensus is in on Uhle's definitely worth the shipping to try out might be the bulk of your Burley in the Cellar...

It's an understatement.
I have enough on hand to last me a year.
Which is actually a good thing.
I like having the mainstay on hand so I can dabble with trying new blends a tin at a time.
I've also stockpiled ES 4th generation 1931.
And a good amount of Former's flakes.

 

[ADKPiper]

As far as it being a "Burley".
Yeah it is literally that.
But I'd wager that people who generally don't like burleys might like Perfection plug and 00.
It does not have the mouth coating bitter thing at all.
Sweet and nutty.
At least that's the way that I taste it.

Yeah have yet to try 1931, I want to get the pipe to go with it, and I love the idea of pipe and tobacco pairings, even if a gimmick more companies should do it, helps to have a plan when you have PAD/TAD/OCD.
I need to check out Formers too, thanks for the heads up, nice to know of other blends when people have similar favorites.
Been smoking the bottom 3rd of the bowl Capstan Blue top 2/3rds Five brothers as a variation on Pipestud's RoyaYacht / Five brother mix, amazing in bowl combo... cheers

 

[ADKPiper]

Yeah have yet to try 1931,

You have to get it when it's in stock.
That's why I stockpiled.
I bought some more yesterday.
Today it is out of stock at SP.

1931 Flake 1.4oz -Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation Pipe Tobacco

Erik Stokkebye 4th Generation's 1931 Flake strikes a natural balance between top-tier Burleys and mature Virginias by using a small measure of Black Cavendish.

Great tip, vosGghos!

I just tried a bowl of your Capstan Blue from year 2013 with Five Brothers as the topper, and it is super good. Five Brothers came through and absorbed that wonderful Capstan Blue topping. I don't think anyone is going to see the early Mac Baren's Capstan Blue on my website for awhile. (-:

I always keep some Black Stoker here. Like it.
Nice people.

It's been my go-to lately, had no idea how the sweetness could shine through and still leave me with such a satisfying robust nic fix , tis I should be thanking you...

 

[Grangerous]

Something I have put off far too long. As a result of this thread I have 1.5 ounces of Blend 300. Blend 00 and Perfection Plug on the way.

I’ve got to know.

 

[bobpnm]

Thanks for this great conversation. I just ordered 7 ounces of Uhle‘s Perfection Plug. My first dance with Uhle’s.

 

[pharaohfitz]

Periodically, I have seen the name mentioned in the 'what are you smoking' section of the forum. But I never ordered from them. On a scale of 1-10, what do you guys think of their blends?

Care to offer a recommendation for a smoker who is (temporarily) burned out on lat heavy blends. I currently like BPC and 333, W, etc. I'm well stocked up on those, but am curious about Uhle's. 00 and PPB have been mentioned. I have been restocking the cellar lately, but don't need any more blends that are just: meh.

I’m partial to 300 and like PPB and 00. I normally don’t smoke a lot of burley but these folks have the best.

 

[LOREN]

I tried Bishop’s Move years ago. I remember it being a very good blend for me. If I remember correctly, it was in the Dunhill (Peterson) Nightcap genre for my tastes.

 

[Arthur Frayn]

OP here. I ended up buying a variety of their 1.5 oz samples. After mulling it over, I just ordered 1 each of 14 oz bags of blend 255, hunt club and PPB.

1.4 ounce or 14 ounces?
