Shew. This is like the question what beer or liquor should I try. ?So many different opinions. But my 2c worth is that any of the Peterson blends ( and definitely their version of the older Dunhill blends) are worth a try, as are many Samuel Gawith and Gawith and Hogarth. As well as the Dutch blends and and and and and …. Start with Peterson and see where it takes you.
Tastes change over time.
Over the last 11+ years I went through stages where I turned away from certain genres like aromatics for a while but then came back to them.
For a while I preferred Virginia blends over Burley and vice versa.
Today I like most genres and smoke a variety through the day.
When you try a blend that you don't like, just jar it and store it away.
A year or two later you might just find that your tastes have changed and you then like it.
