Glad to see you here, WP -- this is Scott from just up the road in Niagara.
I can definitely inundate you with many more VAs to try (although many are flakes). VAs are usually my favorites, and I have most of the best on hand.
I know that you were interested in Nightcap. I have only the Sutliff Match on hand, which isn't as good as the Peterson version. You can't go wrong with a tin of the Peterson stuff.
I don't like overmuch vitamin N, myself, so I'll let others direct you to high nic blends. The only one I've got is War Horse Bar, but you said that you don't like anise, and there is a bit of that flavor in WHB.
Many folks here will recommend that you just get a bunch of 1 oz. bulk samples from some place like Pipes & Cigars (perfunctory disclaimer: P&C is not a sponsor here and is not as classy an act as SmokingPipes). That's a good way to start.

Welcome! Speaking of Northwoods, Boswells makes a great Northwoods blend. Best of luck getting started, enjoy!
Take your time and enjoy. I'm a noob but I believe everything matter and effects the smoke:
Pipe
Age of tobacco
Type of tobacco
How you smoke
moisture
How you pack
Type/blend
...
Consider it all a learned experience. Go slow and find whats best for you. I'm still testing/tasting/enjoying. If you try something you don't like, stop. Try it again next week. Your tastes and preferences will change.
On top of that... if you don't like the tobacco at all, jar it and try it again in a year or 2 after it gets some age. And if after some age you still don't like it, hold onto it. You may be able to trade with someone who loves it.
