So you end up in the midst of a nuclear fallout and you have to lock yourself away in an underground bunker for a year. If you could only bring 3 pipe tobaccos with you, what would they be?
Peterson's University Flake, Balkan Sasieni & Hal O' The Wind (list subject to change depending on how many more blends I'm able to try before the end).
Also, just make sure you remember to install a damn good air ventilation/filtration system (and don't forget the matches).
H&H Black House, Villiger 1888 Mid Day, Rattray's Bagpiper's Dream. I'd bring my Grabow Royal Duke, my Neerup 1/4 bent brandy, and my MM Legend cob. But I'll say this, I'd be right royal pissed if this was all I had to smoke for a whole year. Variety is the spice of life.

Hmm Orlik, 3 nuns (villager cocktail hour if I cant choose that) then it would be a toss up between macbarens club blend, or hal o the wynd.
Pipes would be my boswell egg, my dragon cob, and my tim hynick custom
McClelland Red Cake 5100
and just to switch it up....
some Night Cap.
I could live with that no problem. In fact, I kind of wish that was exactly what I had in current rotation.
edit: Oh, and I could smoke these bacs from my current pipes. My meer or my Savinelli.
I would die trying to make a decision. I'll pack some Sterling Double Eagle, Penzance, and "Nothing Like that First Pipe of the Day" in my emergency shelter now. Guess my Peterson Plato, Ben Wade Regent, and Quattrochiochi Egg would have to go in there as well.
Oh that's bought. Old Joe Krantz, Filmore, and perhaps Odyssey (or maybe Magnum Opus, Northwoods, or Maltese Falcon). I'd have a bunch of Carter Hall, but as I consider that to be more in the category of "air" than "tobacco.:
I would pack some Old Toby (which I hate) and some Ephiphany (which I hate even more).
I would smoke them out of a cob (which I hate even more than above).
When that year was up, and I crawled out of that smelly bunker pissed off like a badger that just had one of his nuts stepped on, I would be primed and ready for the New World and all its glory.
Some Gold Virginia, some dark cavendish, and some latakia. I would then amuse myself with making my own blends until it was safe to head back to the surface and have amazing Mad Max adventures across the wasteland. 8)
