@jpmcwjr,
I like a very broad spectrum of blend types, I’ll list what I’m rotating through this week:
4th Generation Evening Flake
Rattray’s Marlin Flake
Peter Heinrich’s Golden Sliced
C&D Oriental Silk (with some age on it)
Captain Earle’s Nightwatch
GL Pease Maltese Falcon
H&H Ten to Midnight
However, I have quite a bit put away.
I really like Haunted Bookshop and Old Joe Krantz once it’s mellowed out a bit with age.
As far as pipes, sheesh where to start?
I like all of them, I have a little over 30 I rotate through, and really like them all.
Most of my pipes are Danish Bari makes.
I have some Nordings, some Petersons, a Stanwell, a GBD, Nording 4th Generation, and a couple of meerschaum pipes.
I’ve been having an affair with a Peterson Kinsale Xl24 and a Nording 1 Silver Capped.
I’ve got probably close to 160 other pipes that I sell, which are mostly consisting of Danish pipes, a great majority of those are freehands.
I like many different tobaccos.
I have a handful that are hard to get a hold of but the ones I like the most are generally blends that are reliably available and are consist of their quality.
I have found that most bulk tobaccos shine if you pack them in mason jars and let them sit for about 10 months or longer.
