Good idea. I know he smoked Borkin Riff. I think the whiskey flavor. I will get a pack of that and try it but some of the reviews are ver mixed. Good and Bad.

I saw this as a top winner on YouTube
i wanted this but is only available in 14 oz cans for $38. I want to make sure I like smoking before going that heavy. For now want samples for $15 or less.
Erinmore! That was the one I was thinking about. You might give that a whirl!
It really can be overwhelming, being presented with so many options (thanks in large part to the internet).
Just take your time and enjoy each bowl of whatever it is you have open.
If a blend does not appeal to you, jar it up with date and blend because it is possible you will circle back to it in a year or two. Some blends that are not appreciated on the first bowl just need to be tried again under different circumstances, for example on a full stomach in a smaller bowl!

You're in luck because mature Virginia Perique blends are quite sweet, it's a "stewed fruit" sweet and not a "candy sweet" but you don't need aromatics to have full flavor in a tobacco blend.
That said if you're still open to aromatics then Sutliff bulk varieties like Vanilla Custard and Creme Brulee are some of the best for sweet toppings and gentle smoke.
Some good selections there and some great suggestions made. If you want to try an English, based on your criteria, I would suggest Lane HGL.
You will probably feel like you have smelled it before. I feel like it is the smell people talk about when they say "I love the smell of a pipe"
This one
but there are a few matches and many blends that would be similar. I’m just not familiar with them. It’s a light and balanced English, cavendish forward
I had this on list but removed it because cannot buy them all. Reviews were good but some gave it a 2 or 1. I think 1 person got dizzy due to high nicotine? Chewing tobacco and Dips do that to me so initially going to avoid it.
Orlick Golden Sliced is not a nic hit to me at all. It is hard to try them all ?
A lot of people around here would immediately throw the "Scotte" pipe in the trash, I'm tempted to say you should return it.
That's not to say it's impossible for one of those pipes to give a good smoke, but it's a real gamble.
The Missouri Meerschaum Country Gentleman on the other hand is one of the best tobacco pipes ever made.
It might sound odd that the $10 pipes is so much better than the $30 pipe, but the people at Missouri Meerschaum know what they're doing.
Go for a Rossi at Smokingpipes.com if you need an inexpensive Briar.

If you are really budget conscious then getting over the metal barrier of buying used pipes will save you a fortune, or two or three fortunes depending on what kind of pipes you like.
Thoughts? good idea starting with two pipes, you will probably prefer one over the other.
I found pear wood imparted a flavour (not bad, but noticeable) which stood out in the smoke, I prefer the neutrality of briar.
Stock up on pipe cleaners!
Check out Dan Tobacco Blue Note for a nice sweet aromatic that tastes just like it smells. It was my first aromatic that blew me away and I still smoke it today. I would also recommend some type of sweet Latakia blend, Sillem’s Black is a good starting point.
