Welcome, from Rhode Island.
I might suggest, as others have, that you try some light English blends, first. Save the aromatics for later.
Welcome from another new pipe smoker in Connecticut!
Ask questions and you'll get pointers. Great knowledge here!

Welcome from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula! I lived north of I-80 (Lockport/Lemont) for a few years: still miss the Italian Beef sandwiches!
Oh man you're asking the wrong guy because my band is pretty narrow and I just ventured into Virginias. Here's a list of the top bulks that SP sells:
Best Selling Bulk Pipe Tobaccos
www.smokingpipes.com
And here's what I like:
Lane HGL: TR calls it an American but I'd say it's more of an aromatic english
MB 7 Seas Regular: Aro
Newminster 400: VA flake
PS English Luxury: English
Sutliff Match 20: Scottish
What I think others would recommend in other categories:
Ennerdale Flake: Lakeland (I don't really like lakelands but this was fine after I let the floral smell dissipate)
C&D Pegasus, Haunted Bookshop, Old Joe Krantz: Burley (I've tried the first two and did not like them. I've tried other burleys and didn't like them either.)

Welcome from the Pacific NW! I, too, have a cigar background and always find burley blends and dark fired kentucky offerings especially satisfying. Lots of good ones out there. If you try flakes, just rub them all the way out to start. Some great burley flakes out there from MacBaren, Wessex and C & D. Also Old Joe Krantz, Haunted Bookshop and Boswell's Premium Burley. Might want to try Old Dark Fired as well. Too many to list, but it's a start! Enjoy the ride...
