I don't think I hate any tobacco. There are some that don't do it for me, mainly because they lack flavor and strength. If they were all that were available, its not like I'm going to quit smoking.
I like the lakelands and I always have one open, in particular the Kendal and the rum flakes. Okay, I have to admit Ennerdale is a bit much but I can make it through the tin.
I'm also partial to the Glen Piper, I think it is pleasantly topped with old timey cavendish. University Flake is in my top five favorites.
I'd rather not smoke any of the frogs or the 1Q, etc. They are just not strong enough. After 3/4 hour into the bowl I like to be fairly relaxed.

could never abide any of the old 'drugstore' blends with their chemically induced 'flavors' and 'aromas' ...
in searching for something I really liked, I learned that there was one very common ingredient in many blends which I did NOT like ... hate might be too strong a word, but I just don't like Latakia at all ...

Im a big fan of all the Captain Black blends, and just recently got some 1Q. Thanks rothnh. 
Love all of them except CB Cherry. Horrible. Middleton Cherry is good to go. This stuff tastes like somebody got a perfume bottle of cherry Nyquil, and sprayed the baccy. Pouch note is like potpourri. Not a fan.

Don't do Borkum Riff either. Smoked it back in my younger days and it wasn't good. Wouldn't figure its changed much.
Haunted Bookshop will put hair on your chest. And then it will put hair on your tongue.
There is definitely a sharpness in the burleys used for this blend. I don't recommend it to anyone who isn't a burley fanatic. And even then, it's only fair to warn that it's harsh.
Still, I love Haunted Bookshop. I like the nicotine, the lack of sweetness and, when it's burning just right, it is a sublime smoke that hits all the right notes of natural, tobacco goodness.

I went by Tewksbury & Co to try out some Hobbit's Weed, not impressed. Not that it is bad, but I think it gets all the hype from it's name, time in the market and for sweet aro fans- its cherry taste.
I have yet to cross a blend that I hate, only had some I just didn't care for that much or was just unimpressed by.
Other "offenders": Carter Hall-bland. JFH Middle Earth series (Treebeard, Old Toby, Longbottom Leaf)-forgettable.

I don't hate CH, just don't think much of it otherwise. It isn't bad, but I can't think of a time where I would need/want to smoke it aside from the handful of bowls I've already smoked from the one pouch that I have.
Still Do Not Like Cherry Blends and Borkum Riff. YUK !!!

HH Mature Virginia was my first foray into non-Aros I absolutely hated every second of it, even the smell. Chalk it up to being a new smoker right? So I tried it again 4 months later and I hated it even worse. I decided to keep it for a year. I'll give it one last try then and if I still hate it, some of you may have a nice gift coming your way
I'll learn to love anything from SG or G&H. Well, except a plug I bought 15 years ago. It was so perfumey I could only smoke it outside in the hot tub. Dedicated a pipe to it. I still have what's left of the plug if anyone wants it. I just can't get myself to throw it away.
I'm still fairly new to this pipe lark, so I couldn't say exactly what it was that I didn't like... But Dunhill Nightcap.
Out of the seven or eight blends I've tried so far (mostly dinky little samples, which is handy), it's the only one I couldn't bring myself to finish the bowl of.
