I have two lists below. The first is a list of tobaccos that I've either tried (pipe smoking friends, are friends indeed), or purchased a tin/sample of, and will try. The second is a list of tobaccos I'd like to try, or have been told to consider trying... my "must try list". A note, the first list is shared by a buddy and me. I sorted them by name rather than blend for those like me that are still learning by blend. If this seems more like work than fun, please forgive me and ignore.

Great point ROTHNH. If you see something you feel would be a waste of time or money, please say so. We have thick skins. I know it's all a matter of personal taste... but we still respect you recomendations.

+1 rothnh . Boswell's ( all of them ) . I don't like C&D epiphany from your list . Don't like those CAO Aro's much . Orlik golden slices , and Troost slices are good . Good Luck !

From the top of the mountain...A single yell H&H Anniversary Kake.
Get the 8oz tin, cheaper than bulk, and if you don't like it -- let me know.

I'd put Escudo first on your hit list.

You're going to dig 2015, great VAPer.
On the aromatic side the Lane Dansk Black is nice, and for a total aro the pistachio is good. *hides*

Altadis makes Dunhill Elizabethan Match, which is sold by P&C. It's pretty close to the original (with a little more perique than the original) and highly recommended by me, a former DE smoker. And it's sold in bulk!

As Dragonslayer said, yes, Anniversary Kake.
You have a fairly comprehensive list there. I would also add:
GL Pease Haddo's Delight

H&H Angler's Dream

Orlik Golden Sliced

McConnell's Scottish Cake

McClelland's Beacon Extra

Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding

zyrcon:
I'm guessing you don't live in the U.S., since a number of the blends on your "to try" list are not available here: including Capstan, Condor, St. Bruno, and Rich Dark Flake.
Also, GLPease's Renaissance has been out of production since 2004. Tins still pop up every now and then on eBay, but you'll pay about US$50 for a 2oz tin.

I can't believe the Black Bloods haven't come out in droves on this thread. So, do yourself a favor and try Hearth & Home Black House. I like it okay, but it has a pretty massive following on here.
My personal faves that I haven't seen yet is G.L. Pease Westminster, love it, and what Jud said, Peterson Old Dublin.

Thanks for all the great input. I do live in the states, but since I'm a "work in progress", my tobacco knowledge is limited. If come across a post where someone is raving about a tobacco, i jot it down. I may not like it or it may not be avaialbe anymore, but I still like to chase the rabbit and learn what I can.
