Alright, you all know and love these. You are stranded on a deserted Island all by your lonesome with nothing but your fanny pack filled with your favourite pipe, some lighters, and your wallet. You start your search for food, water and shelter after lying on shore, crying like a hopeless, pathetic baby for an hour. On your travels you see something half covered in earth and overgrowth that looks to be a large container. You clean off all the dirt and vines and break open the rusted latch with a large rock. Inside, you find just the inspiration you need to stay alive until you find a way to escape or someone finds you days....weeks..months...YEARS later. Who knows when. What blend is in your container?

Practicality says Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky. Given the separation in the flakes it could be broken apart into any combination of VA and Dark Fired the moment calls for.
However, I just like Esoterica Tilbury too much right now to choose anything else. A Latakia-less life would gargle balls, but Tilbury is just too good.

From the blends I've had so far I would hope it was full of Father Dempsey.
You can't see which blend it is because in your eagerness you jumped carelessly into the container and the door snapped shut behind you. It's now pitch black. You're likely to get eaten by a grue.
Truth be told, if it were to need to last years as the only pipe tobacco I had.... I would pick shipping crate filled with 100s of 14 oz cans of Prince Albert original. Other leafs are wonderful, but I think the ease, general likability, and satisfaction would make it never be tiresome for me..... especially stuck on an island where I need to figure how to get rescued. ?
I get this. About 15 years ago I smoked through 3.5 pounds of Tilbury at a 5 bowl a week pace. I’ve still got a few bags from 2000 and often wonder what it is like now.
Anyway, currently I would say let it be SG St. James Flake.

You lie. You'd go into depression without your Black Frigate.
I’m on a Burley kick, but without coffee I’d probably go with Presbyterian.
Not at all. 79 has been a favorite for a while now. I have close to, if not the same number of pounds of it as I do BF.
Ah Crap, I Like Mixture 79 :: Pipe Tobacco Discussion
Just for a lark, I ordered some to see how bad it was. First bowl was very strange, but not unpleasant. Six bowls later, I have a pound of the stuff on the way. Currently smoking it it a straight MM Legend with a cup of licorice tea and some hard Italian licorice candy. BTW, I have always...

In this moment, as the millennials say, Germain’s King Charles. It’s construction has high suitability for my current tastes. And it goes without saying; who wouldn’t want a high class mixture on a deserted island?
I'd be looking for a palatable variety of canned food and an opener, a two-way shortwave crank operated radio, various tools and good knives, waterproof matches in good supply, signal flares, and a tent or large tarp or both, etc. etc. But if all I could have was tobacco, I'd rather have a variety pack. Just one? Briar Works Country Lawyer. Second choice, Potlatch SPC, third C&D Stratfordshire, Amphora Burley. Tabac-Manil Semois would be my choice, but it burns fast.
That Semois is a good choice as it would double as excellent fire starter due to its lack of moisture.
I stand corrected! I think I'll acquire a small sample of that for the hell of it.
I'd want a container of whatever is in Cary Grant's tobacco jars in Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, because apparently they are bottomless and free to all comers. (Maybe it's Cary Grant's Blend from Kramers?)
