So....I am a beginning smoker that loves traditional tobacco taste and looking for a everyday tobacco. To help you understand me better, I drink Bud Lite because I enjoy the flavor and like the price point, not to much but not the cheapest. Also would like that the tobacco would be readily available so that I will not struggle to procure it. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Sure does. Give that man a nice straight Dr. Grabow billiard and some Prince Albert and let the good times roll. :

I suppose there is a reason why Bud Light is one of the most sold beers. And it seems there is a tobacco taste for everyone. I've still yet to give those a try.
Carter Hall, Prince Albert, Prince Albert Choice, Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic, Half and Half, Velvet, Middleton's Cherry.
You should be able to find at least one of these in a store that sells bud lite. I still get my tubs of Carter Hall from the grocery store.

C&D's Big 'n Burley is just a mouse click away. The price point is quite attractive, the tobacco is wonderful.
Another outside of the realm of 'codger' blends, but deserving is Peter Stokkebye's #702.
D&R has a few tobacco flavored blends worth the price and the effort. Their ribbon cut VA's and VaPas are excellent, and they've got some nice burley too. TwoTimer is a double toasted burley that yields a cool, dry smoke you can enjoy anytime, or all the time.
One thing about burley tobacco for me is that each one seems to require more than one or two bowls (and this really applies to any blend) to suss out the true flavors.
Making a judgement about a blend after one or two bowls is premature.

For what it's worth, my current everyday is Daughter's and Ryan Three Sails. Some say it's straight cigarette tobacco, but I really get some great Virginia flavor from it and it packs easy and burns great. This from a never cigarettes guy.
It smells... pipey. I don't know, I don't smoke the crap, ha ha. I was just guessing along with everyone else. Funny how everyone turns to OTC blends when "old fashion" comes up.
C&D's Pegasus sounds like it would fit into your lifestyle perfectly. In the same ballpark as Prince Albert, but with a little more kick and better taste.

Thanks so much group! This is really helpful as I am beginning to learn, and all the information I can gather is great. I will try to Prince Albert for sure and I will also look towards some of the others listed. Thanks again so much , I know I will be asking more questions!
I have been on an OTC binge lately and have given Velvet my #1 ranking on the dj11 chart. Hit bound at #2 is Half and Half. Sir Walter Raleigh is pretty good too. Carter Hall would be third followed by Prince Albert. Heck, I even tried Mixture 79 and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be... Not sure I will buy another pouch though but at least I tried it.
