Is there a vendor who offers a really good variety pack of samplers ? I would like to order a good sampler pack for a good friend who wants to start smoking a pipe. I think for Christmas I will get him a pipe and would like to start him off with a good variety of taboccos. :puffpipe:

4Noggins has bulk tobacco sampler packs for only $19.99 in each of three motifs, aromatic, English, and Virginia. I think for
a beginner, perhaps the aromatic sampler pack would be perfect. If you want to buy two, you can flip a coin. I think I'd opt
for the Virginia, for a new pipe smoker, and let them "graduate" to English when they're ready. No predicting taste. There
are sampler packs from other online retailers, and sampler packs in tinned tobacco, but I think the 4noggins packs would
fill the bill.

P$C has some sampler packs but they're all over the place.
They used to have a really great one, but replaced it with picking the 1.5oz tins instead of the 2oz samples. It's still okay I guess.
Someone should do a 1 ounce sample of a wide array of blends. The goal is to try as many as possible without being stuck with a bunch of stuff you hate. Hell, I'd argue that 1/2oz samples would be killer.

irish, I would be interested to know what you finally select, and which retailer you choose, and maybe later,
what your friend likes best in the selection. I'm not too concerned about someone "hating" one of the blends.
I think pipe smoking is a taste adventure, and what doesn't appeal immediately may unfold later. The retailers
who put these samplers together want to generate purchases, so they carefully select what will be the most
generally popular blends. They don't want to send out overly-challenging or rarely enjoyed blends. They
want your friend back buying more. He'll like some better than others, but I doubt he'll have any unpleasant
experiences with a sampler.
