Ok, I will start by asking you to bare with me as I fumble around trying to describe what I am asking for. I'm brand new to pipe smoking and don't have a local store that I can just go browse and figure out what the blends I am looking for.
I'm looking for suggestions of quality tobacco aromatic that has what I call the "traditional pipe tobacco smell", like I remember the old guys smoking when I was a kid.
My first tobacco I bought was in a glass jar and labelled "Irish Mist". No idea of the brand or the blend. It has that scent that I am looking for. But the quality isn't all that great. Not terrible, but it definitely has room to be better.
I got a couple of tins of Drew estate and a tin of Sultliff aros yesterday. They are a much better quality of tobacco, and the Drew Estate smoked very well. However the scents have an almost sickly sweet flavor, and fruitiness to them. I know I will enjoy them, but I would like to find something with the more "musky" (?) smell of the Irish Mist I have now. My buddy has a blend from the same shop called "highland mist" that is in the same vein.
Can anyone help me with some recommendations for quality stuff that has similar flavorings?
