Newbie to Pipe Smoking

[bigboi]

So I have been trying aromatics for a couple months now. I do really enjoy a couple I have come across. But I would like to try a smooth, English blend that with a good taste. I do understand taste is subjective, but just wondering what you guys would recommend for a english blend to a new pipe smoker.

Thanks all.

Maybe try Larry's Blend. That was one of the first English blends I smoked.

Hearth and Home House of Lords

Hearth and Home Namaste

Hearth and Home Black House

Dunhill Early Morning Pipe

Dunhill Nightcap

Any one of the Frog Morton Series
These are all good places to start if you want a simple, good tasting English. Once you get a little more familiar with Latakia and some of the condiment tobaccos, you can take a step up to something a little more complex like some Cornell and Diehl Engine 99, GL Pease Key Largo, or some McClelland Wilderness.

The first English blend I smoked was Seattle Evening.
It's mild but has plenty of Latakia. Still one of my favorites.

UHLE's Bishop's Move is a pretty good English... http://www.uhles.com/Uhle_blends_Wisconsin_and_Minnesota.html

Thanks, I have been reading about Seattle Evening. Being how I am from the NW, it just kinda drew me in with the name and all. But I am going to check out some of the others!!!
