Reum Pipes loves Sixpence
Sixpence is one of those near perfect tobacco's that never disappoints but can change a lot with different amounts of age or even just in a different pipe. The tin note of green olives is very interesting but it works well. The tobacco itself just has the feel of a high-quality leaf. The first light for me usually tastes like the smell of freshly tanned leather. It has a creamy mouthfeel as you start to pick up grassy but spicy notes. This is one tobacco that is very consistent through the entire bowl.

VAper at its core
This blend took me by surprise. The tin note reminds me of a tangy ketchup. However, it doesn't taste anything like it smells. The Perique gives it the spicy nose tingle and the Kentucky with Virginia's are just in perfect balance with each other in a sweet blend to counter act the Perique. One thing I will say is I do not taste a topping at all. So whatever alcohol/spirit they use, it's not over powering at all. If you're looking for a good VAper to start in this blend type, this would be a solid one.
