Hi all! New member and new pipe smoker here. After buying a Savinelli Primo Fumo on a recent trip to Italy, I've already rapidly started accumulating tobaccos and pipes. I'm hoping for some advice on which tobaccos to try next—I suppose, which direction should I head, given what I've enjoyed so far. So far I've tried 5 different blends, and if I were to rank them in order of which I liked best it would be:
1. Dunhill Early Morning Pipe
2. Lane Limited 1-Q
3. Mac Baren HH Vintage Latakia
4. C&D Stovepipe
5. C&D Yorktown
The Vintage Latakia was the first tobacco I bought, and I'm sure due to my very poor technique, I didn't like it very much initially. I haven't returned to it since trying the other 4, but after getting my technique in better shape, I think I'll like it more—my memory of the flavor is better now than my experience of it, if that makes sense.
Thanks!
