When you start smoking a pipe, you mostly start with Aromatic blends, then you try English, Oriental, Balkan, Va, Va/Per, Burley, Va/Bur, etc. Some smoke aros for many years, some stick to Latakia blends, some prefer Va and Va/Per, some only smoke Burley based blends. In my case, I started with an aromatic blend and I really liked it, then I smoked Oriental blends and I liked those as well. I tried a Balkan blend and guess what, I liked that also. Here are the blends I have tried so far:
-Captain Black Regular - Aromatic
-Cornell & Diehl Byzantium - Balkan
-Dunhill Early Morning - English
-Dunhill Royal Yacht - Virginia
-Erinmore Mixture - Aromatic
-Erinmore Flake - Aromatic
-Esoterica Tobacciana And So To Bed - English
-Hearth & Home Anniversary Kake - Va/Per
-Hearth & Home Chestnut - American
-Just For Him Shortcut To Mushrooms - Aromatic
-Lane Limited 1-Q - Aromatic
-Levin Pipes Klenderwood - Oriental
-Mac Baren Plum Cake - English
-McClelland PCCA Winter - Oriental
-Newminster No. 400 Superior Navy Flake - Virginia
-Peter Stokkebye Luxury Bulls Eye Flake (No. 403) - Va/Per
-Peterson Peterson's Perfect Plug - Va/Bur
-Scandinavian Tobacco Group C'est la Vie - Aromatic
-Sutliff Tobacco Company Rum & Maple - Aromatic
-Watch City Cigar Justice Mixture - Oriental
Among the blends above, I didn't like C'est la Vie (it had no character at all) and Shortcut to Mushrooms (I cannot eat mushrooms, apparently if you are allergic to mushrooms then you cannot smoke mushroom flavored blends either). Long story short, is there anyone else who enjoys all kind of blends? Or do you have just one type of blend that you prefer to others?
