Dacor & Masspiper, You two are making a great start. I wish I had found this site before I picked up the pipe. That would have saved a lot of grief.
Let me help both of you. Almost everyone that picks up the pipe thinks that a cherry blend is what is best. I bought 2 oz of this when I first started several years ago. I haven't touched it since the first year. I will give each of you 1/2 of what I have of this blend if you PM me your mailing address.
