Black XX is one of the ones I've tried. It's like smoking the charred part of a grilled burger, really different and neat.
I've been smoking a pipe on-and-off for decades and I'm not ready for rope. Maybe blended
with something else, to reduce the ringing in the ears. I do suspect it keeps forever, so you
have a long time to think it over, once you have it coiled safely in a jar. (I bet there's someone
on Forums who has it as an everyday smoke.)

Wipe off the excess tobacco oils from the blades as well, or it will become a rather nasty business.

One thing I haven't seen discussed regarding ropes is how incredibly cost effective they are. A less than 1/8" slice of Brown Irish X gets you about half a Grp. 1 bowl which results in at least a 20 minute smoke and a rock solid nic hit. The original 2 ounce bag I got included a piece an inch or so long and I've gotten six smokes in three weeks out of it and it's not used up yet. That should make the pound I now have cellared good for about half a decade.
I've had Gawith's Black and Brown ropes. Interestingly, the Brown is stronger. Word of caution, I left the ropes in their respective tins and forgot about them. When I finally reopened the tins months later the ropes had dried out and unraveled. I felt like I was dealing with the Dead Sea scrolls.
For those brave souls who want to give rope a try I strongly suggest that when you use your cigar cutter (preferred) or knife that you make a slice no bigger than 1/16" of an inch. If you look at this little coin and think it couldn't possibly be a decent sized smoke you are just flat wrong. When you break up a coin of rope it seems to grow in volume as if being fed from some weird tobacco fourth dimension. In any case the thin coin rubbed out will make about half a Grp. 1-2 bowl which is, believe it or not, more nic than you might really want to deal with.
If you cut yourself a 1/4" thick coin it will rub out to a full Grp. 2-3 bowl and be enough for a 45 minute smoke with enough nic to stun a musk ox. Have a care.
