First post here. So in the last year I've been reading reviews and buying different types of tobacco trying to hone in on what I really enjoy. I have only been smoking a pipe for around 2 years and like many started off with aromatics and pretty quickly moved on to wanting to taste the tobacco rather than the sweet topping. In my quest I have discovered that my absolute favorite tobacco I have tried to date is the Seattle Pipe Club rum barrel aged version of Mississippi River, followed by the special reserve and normal editions. The first time I smelled the tin note and got that straight Vinegar smell I was in heaven. For me I get that same Vinegar sharp sour taste in my mouth when smoking it. I instantly started searching the internet for other comparable tobaccos but thus far have come up short. the closest for me has been the plum pudding variations. They have a very similar tin not with that vinegar scent but a more rounded smoky taste than the mississippi river. Other folks have told me that I must like Virginias cause they seem to be tart but I have several straight virginias like carolina red flake, hogshead, peterson flake, deluxe navy rolls, macbaren vanilla roll cake ect and while I enjoy them none of them give me that taste. at the recommendation of others I tried Kings ranson from ken byron, st bruno flake, gawith rum flake, krumble cake no.4, Queit nights, izmir Turkish ect. Many of them have a venigar tart tin note but not so much in the taste. I would love to get some feedback from all of the experts on here. Thanks Everone!!! Stu
