What's the most typical U.S./American blend? I'd guess blends with burley(s), Virginia(s), and unflavored black Cavendish. Also allowed are Latakia and Perique, usually in very moderate proportions. Aromatic flavoring is also allowed, since that is such a high proportion of pipe tobacco sales, although non-aromatics, despite their English associations, are also acceptable as long as the blends contain burley. There are numerous examples of these blends. Two examples are Iwan Ries Three Star Blue, recently reviewed by jiminks, and PC/Russ O.'s Log Cabin, and also his Home and Hearth Midtown series Chestnut.
Please offer others of the many blends along these lines; nominate other kinds of blends you think are extra U.S./American; or nominate American blends that are not typical of the U.S., from Canada, Mexico, Central or South America.
This is just for sport. Blends don't carry passports and can go (often happily) anywhere.
