English

Burley

Cavendish

Scottish

Balkan

My favorite is English. Followed by Va/Pers

 

[pipegangster]

On a Aro kick right now so VA, cavendish, burley for the time being. Getting the urge to gravitate back to Mr. Latakia though.

I like all the different types, but if I had to choose just one, it would be Va/Per.

 

[admin]

I like everything, but mostly end up smoking; Latakia, Va/Per, Navy Flake, English, Cavendish.

 

[cortezattic]

American style blends, meaning various combinations of

• Virginia
  
  Burley
  
  Perique
  
  Orientals

I used to be into British blends, but nowdays my palate and sinuses object to the Latakia. I dunno why.

My favorites seem to change over time. Lately cavendish and also burly blends have been my fav.

 

[ghost45]

I need balance so ill go back and forth between virginias and flavored tobacco.

 

[igloo]

va/per or virginia

What is the best Tobacco with a Whiskey flavoring?

 

[pipegangster]

Ghost45, may I suggest Peter Stokkebye Whiskey (aged whiskey aroma) or Peter Stokkebye Highland Whiskey. Either have a good whiskey taste to them and are good quality tobacco as well. Not overley cased and goopy. I ordered some C&D Afterhours a VA flake with spiced rum. I highly recommend this as well, but obviously spiced rum flavored and not whiskey.

 

[ghost45]

Spiced rum works thanks for the suggestions.

I like just about all tobaccos - as long as they are made well and don't have a bite. It often depends on my mood. Earlier in the day - I will have a more aromatic or virginia type blend. As my nightcap - I will go to a heavier English blend.
I do enjoy virginia/perique blends too. Straight virginia blends are also tasty - Esoterica Tobacciana - has a straight virginia blend called Cardiff - that I have enjoyed in the past. Also I enjoy blends that have cognac and rum in them.
One thing is certain - my Humidor - I have a little Gothic Chest with drawers that I fill up with different tobaccos - is I can't smoke the same thing all the time.
Like I said - it all depends on my mood.

 

[mrsmokeyman]

can you please post a pic or two of the aformentioned humidor?
peoples tobacco furnature is super interesting imo... i would love to see what this thing looks like

 

[clanobucklin]

I don't have the ability to do that right now - hence the abscence of my picture on this site. But - I will as soon as I figure everything out.

ps. I also like hybrid/cross over blends of tobaccos - English+Aromatics. Very tasty indeed.

 

[dunendain]

One tobacco type was left off. American/English blends: such as Revelation, Splilman Mixture, Barking Dog, and Count Pulaski. You guys may know of others.

 

[cortezattic]

Right. Americana by Cornell & Diehl is one of the few I will smoke;

and I've got nearly a ½ pound aging for a year now.

But I wouldn't call it a favorite, just a change of pace smoke.

 

[dunendain]

I must try that one. Thanks. I also want to try Spilman Mixture. I enjoy Count Pulaski. The Count has the added benefit of having a room note that my wife and sons like. Well.. my wife tolerates.

 

[buddhabear]

lol I agree with Phil..whatever is good and doesn't break the bank. I seem to like what I call 'regular' tobaccos over aromatics, but don't get me wrong, I dig the aromatics :D Though I'm not sure what a 'regular' pipe tobacco would be per se.. I figure Escudo Navy Deluxe, Boswell's Premium Burley, Flying Dutchman, and the like are regular type tobaccos...this is all new to me though.. I always thought Cavendish was a flavor or type of tobacco until I asked a gent at pipesandcigars.com who answered a bunch of questions for me..and was very nice too.

 

[highstump]

It seems to be a seasonal thing for me. Warmer temps call for a Virginia tobacco and as things cool off an English blend is needed. Codger burleys are a must year round.
My top three in each would probably be
Full Virginia Flake, Best Brown Flake, and Old Gowrie.
Squadron Leader, McClelland 5125, and Penzance.
Prince Albert, Edgeworth RR'd, and Carter Hall.

I don't know if it's still being fairly new to the pipe I'm still drawn towards aromatics. Town Topic and Dan Blue Note are a couple of my fav's although I don't even know what type of tobacco they are.
