10 Best Pipe Tobaccos... According to Me (YMMV)
Yeah, GL Pease is way too hard for me. It's like, "Hey, do you want a dash of flavor to go with your big bowl of nicotine?" Too much.- Professor B

10 Best Pipe Tobaccos... According to Me (YMMV)
I realize my tastes might considered weak by some. Nevertheless, I like or dislike a tobacco based mostly on it's flavor. The strength or weakness of the tobacco is nothing to me. If it tastes good to me, I like it. Isn't that the reason we all smoke a pipe? To derive our own special enjoyment...- Professor B

Bell's "Three Nuns"
You mean the stuff that Mac Baren based this on? As in, the old stuff from back in the day? Lucky.- Professor B

Bell's "Three Nuns"
I discovered this blend years ago in an obscure tobacco shop hidden away behind some trees on a dirt road leading into a heavy rural area. The shop is long gone now, but I went in there several times back in the day. The owner was a very large Scottish immigrant with a massive handlebar...- Professor B

Granger, Anyone?
Side note: I am quite perplexed by the reviews of Granger. Seems like half call it an aromatic, the other half says it is not. This is puzzling to me. In my experience, I know an aromatic when I smoke it. There is no ambivalence about it. A tobacco is either aromatic, or it isn't. So what's up...- Professor B

Granger, Anyone?
Based on Grangerous' previous recommendations, I ordered a tin of Granger. Hasn't arrived yet. And it wasn't easy to find. No vender in St. Louis sells it, as far as I can tell (not even Jon's Pipe Shop, which, for those who know St. Louis, is the absolute mecca for all things pipery). Found it...- Professor B

Ashton "Consummate Gentleman"
I would argue that the level of latakia in a blend, be it a lot or a little, depends on a pipe smoker's personal taste, regardless of how long he has been smoking. More latakia doesn't necessarily translate into greater experience. I've been smoking English blends for 16 years and I prefer this...- Professor B
