Being new to pipes, I haven't had much exposure to different tobaccos. I have smoked the drug store variety like Amphora and Sail. My father smoked Amphora Rich Aroma in the green pouch and I fell in love with it. This is the flavor I enjoy. As a rookie I have no idea how to find similar brands in today's market. Living in Canada my options are limited and very very expensive. 50g is almost 30 bucks. If I am not mistaken I can ship tobacco into Canada duty/tax free as long as it is less than 200g per shipment. It is illegal to ship tobacco between provinces so I can't buy from Canadian online stores, I would end up paying a fortune in taxes. Tobacco seems to be a third of the cost from the US compared to Canada.
So I need some help. As stated, I enjoyed the Amphora Rich Aroma. I am looking for similar tasting tobaccos however I don't know what you would call the characteristics of this blend. I guess I don't really know how to describe what flavor I like. I know what I don't like. I do not enjoy cherry or licorice flavors. That I am sure of. I would like to try some samplers but I'm not sure how it will taste based on the description. I don't have many local options in my city. There is one shop locally but I am going to be paying all most 30 bucks per 50g. The options are overwhelming for a new guy.
