Hey all I've been away for some time and I was curious if there is any new blends that have came out in the last couple years that I should try. I've just been smoking my cellar for about 5 years and I'm looking to add some more.
WHAT'S NEW IN THE PIPE TOBACCO WORLD?

I assume you are aware of the FDA deeming regulations that may affect the availability of new blends (introduced 2007 or later); keep an eye on that.
Among newer blends I like PC Fire Storm, a Va/Per/dark-fired from Forums member Russ O., also his Log Cabin Va/bur/Cav, and Chestnut, a tub tobacco in the Hearth and Home Midtown series. I also very much like Tabac-Manil Semois Medium and Thick cut versions, from Belgium, a burley variant, carried by smokingpipes.com, a Forums sponsor, and Iwan Ries, another sponsor, Three Star Blue, a sophisticated tobacco forward aro, not new at all (1950's) but somewhat revived.

Standard Tobacco of Pennyslvania created by several forum members has a nice line of John Cotton, Murray's, and War Horse blends. I reccommend John Cotton's Smyrna, Bengal Slices, War Horse RR and the War Horse Bar.
What's new? A lot of new brands and blends coming out when a few months ago it was all doom & gloom and folks were ready to hang themselves, and the prices haven't changed all that much. Now your favorite outlet actually having stuff listed IN STOCK when you check their site is quite another thing! :mrgreen:
What flavor poisons do you prefer? I mean there have been tons of new blends come out, but I am not going to suggest 15 new aromatics if you only smoke VaPers.
What the druid said, plus some new blends from Pease and Seattle Pipe Club.
But, as asked, what's in your wheelhouse?

SToP also put out a big bunch of Murray's and Dobie's Four Squares. I see you like VAs - you owe it to yourself to nab some of the great RussO's Acadian Gold. This is novel and spectacular, being bright Canadian Virginia which is fermented in a manner similar to Perique. It is utterly sublime.
In the realm of Lats, Greg Pease recreated 7 Drucquer's blends, which he has outdone himself with.

I forgot to specify guys my bad. I like va/pers and English blends mostly but I like the occasional aromatic. Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I'm a big dunhill fan but I wasn't aware they had new blends.
