I got mine today and I just had a bowl of #515. I smoked it in an Old Mokum ceramic pipe so I can get the pure flavor. Tasted great to me. I don't have the sensitive taste buds of some, but I am satisfied. Next up is the #191.

Welcome and Congratulations on the purchase! I wish you all the best in this endeavor!
As a native New Yorker, I am happy to know that this historic company and the blends that I have enjoyed for so many years have had their lifespan extended! I walked into the Wilke store on Madison in the mid 1980's and quickly became friends with Genarro Filosa and got to know Elliot Nachwalter. This is the place I met our NY Pipe Club's first president and founding member, Sailorman Jack. Needless to say, this shop has the fondest of memories for me.
In terms of tobacco blends, I started out with Gramercy Park, which is a tasty aromatic as you know, but when my tastes changes, I locked into High Hat and Wilke #10, two incredible blends!
Good luck to you and welcome aboard!
Lou

I had a second bowl of #515, this time in a briar. I think the taste is right, but it's more moist than my last batch from Carole. I am going to let the next one dry until it seems close to the old one, then give it an try. It's definitely great tobacco though.

I have finished the third bowl of #515 from the sample. This time in a Savinelli 320KS Duca Carlo. After drying, it tastes exactly like the last batch I got from Carole. A+

I just finished my first bowl of the new Wilke #191. My favorite tobacco. The new stuff tastes exactly the same as the last batch I got from Carole.

I'm working on comparing the new Brandt versions to Carole's. The Dummerston and Rumcake are exactly the same. I'm smoking 515 now.

It can be a little moist blended that mixture the day before I sent it out to you. |

Welcome to the Patch John!
I've yet to try any of the Wilke tobaccos. I've only ever read good things about them & I'm glad to hear they will continue to be around!

I had a few bowls of Wilke Rumcake and it's a great blend. Thanks for taking over production of these fine tobaccos, John!
