FM Cellar...What's Next

[1fatbbqr]

I am fairly new to pipe smoking, and am a total noob when it comes to different tobaccos. I have had some aros, and they were good, but I have fallen in love with From Morton's Cellar. I also enjoy Northwoods from Boswell's, and Frog Morton on the Bayou. My question is, what should I try next? I really enjoyed these English blends, and have no clue what I should try next. All suggestions would be appreciated.

I agree Man's Best Friend is really good.

There's so much good stuff out there. It really is a golden age for pipe smokers in terms of the variety of blends available.
It's worth trying the Dunhill classics: My Mixture 965, Early Morning Pipe and Nightcap.
GL Pease has a ton of great English blends, but one I enjoyed when I first started smoking (and still enjoy) is Chelsea Morning.
If you like FM's Cellar, and want to try a VA, you might consider the Stave Aged Virginia by McClelland. I haven't had it myself, but it should have a similar flavor to Cellar and would likely provide a good entree to VA's, which is a whole new world of its own.

You're already smoking my two favorite Frogs and I'll second the Dunhill Nightcap suggestion, but I'm also a big fan of Hearth and Home Larry's Blend and Ten to Midnight. The latter blends are available from pipesandcigars.com and deliver a quality smoke while also being easy on the wallet.
Welcome to the forums, friend.

Try Dunhill's My London Mixture. This Dunhill blend has some latakia but also has Turkish which gives it a sweet and pungent aroma and it is easy to smoke, never boring and always interesting.

Here's what I suggest you try next:
1. All of the other FM blends

2. H&H Blackhouse

3. H&H Magnum Opus

4. McClelland Yenidje Highlander

5. GL Pease Westminster

+1 for Night cap and I also recommend McClelland Deep Hollow.

Here are a couple of suggestions, in no particular order, with reasons why I suggest them.
Carter Hall for a good Burley/mixer.

Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake for a bit of a trip toward VA.

McClelland Black Woods Flake for a dive into McC VA.

Squadron Leader because I love it.

Black House because it's really tasty.

C&D Constellation for a huge Lat kick.
That's what I got for now.

+1 Nightcap

+5 carter hall

Good suggestions so far. I agree with the SG Squadron Leader, and the Mac Barren H&H Magnum Opus. I'd also suggest McClelland Blue Mountain and SPC Mississippi River.

I'll go a little lighter then all of these great suggestions.
McCelland's Jubilee. It's sweet, tart, smokey, but never at the same time. It's a very light smoke IMO. At times it almost tastes like Earl Gray. Pitchfork turned me onto it.
GLP Chelsea Morning. A little heavier, but sweet, smokey, creamy and at times almost a little coffee like taste. I always smoke this with a lightly sweet iced coffee and cream. Still what I would call a light English.
If your looking to get into Virginias, Va/Pers, or combinations with cavendish in them, I would add and second the following.
Orlik Golden Sliced for a pure soft Virginia

PS LBF for a splash into the Virginia/Perique/Cavendish world

Prairie Wind from 4Noggins for a soft, sweet, mild Va/Per

Rattray's Marlin Flake for a SWEET, peppery, raisin-like flake.

McCellan's Beacon for a sweet, savory VaPer. It's like seasoned brisket in a pipe bowl. I literally want to eat it with a fork and knife, then mop up what's left with bread.

McClelland's Blue Mountain is really good and similar to Frog Morton. Dunhill's Early Morning Pipe is also really good, and a tad bit lighter than Frogs. My personal favorite smoke is Peterson's Old Dublin. They're generally $9.00 a tin online, and the shops around here set the price around $14.00, but it's worth a shot. Sutliff makes really good blends for cheap too.
