I was having this discussion with jiminks a few days ago and we agreed that it would be an interesting topic to discuss. Jim wisely chose not to post on this. I, on the other hand, have so such wisdom and less shame, so here I go!
My choice is a combination of Holly's Non Plus Ultra and Mixture 79.
So what smokes settle any gender identity issues for you, put hair on your chest, or otherwise leave you walking tall with the toilet seat up?

:rofl: I was laughing before I even finished reading the title! :rofl:
Definitely the Gawith & Hogarth ropes. Smoking them makes me feel like a big burly mountain man.... I just finished chopping down a giant sequoia with just my hatchet, which I used earlier to shave and clean up my beard line, which I also used to fight off the Grizzly bear that attacked me at my campsite. Smoking them makes me sit right back down again after I stand up too quickly after day dreaming all of the above.... :rofl:

Five Brothers and Twists I would consider all day smokes. Never get a nic hit from a pipe. Really can't think of gender in pipe smoking.

Sillem’s Commodore Flake is top in my book.
I will also say cherry blends. Seriously, that’s what my all the men in my family smoked.

None of them. Oh, wait, maybe it's all of them! I suppose when you have to work to get a bowlful it's more manly. Such as chopping (see AR's post again, worth it!), pulling apart, drying, more chopping, loading. Then using a 19th C lighter, such as:

Those first few moments of a strong perique, especially on the retrohale.
Picayune comes to mind. It eventually settles down, but the initial hit can make my eyes water.

I've only smoked a couple that have even caused hiccups. Those same blends did not taste good to me either. I'm quite secure with my manhood and try to only smoke blends I enjoy. If for some reason I feel the need to test my manhood, I'll go pick a fight with my wife. That's way more painful than an overdose of nicotine.

I’m gonna have to go with Rattray’s Exotic Orange.

It reminds me of having a lady tell me she likes my pink shirt, and I just have to say, “It’s not pink, it’s watermelon”.

Granger, Semois medium or thick cut, or D&R Two Timer, for being good basic tobacco without too much effort to amaze the gods.

Ropes, bah! GH&Co’s Dark plug’ll put hair on your chest. Engine #99 and Billy Budd are pretty manly as well.
