Progression Through the Tobacco Blend Genres.

[Casual]

I’ve been at this a bit over a year and a half. My progression:

1. I like this 1-Q. Better get more aros.
2. I like this English. Better get more Englishes. What will I do with all these aros?
3. I like this burley. Better get more burleys. What will I do with all these aros and Englishes?
4. I like this Virginia. Better get more Virginias. What will I do with all these aros, Englishes, and burleys?
5. Maybe I should just stick to Scottish Mixture.

So what’s next for me?

 

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

Perique blends.

So what’s next for me?

Lakelands.

 

[timt]

100 pounds or more. ?

Seriously, get some twists.

 

[bullet08]

Maybe it's due to only 1bowl a day for me. I still like everything. But don't enjoy strong lat like used to. Lakelands sounds like your next step x)

 

[Pit&Pipes]

VaPer for sure!!!

 

[Tommy Boy]

Just wait you will circle back around again thats part of the fun.

 

[Pit&Pipes]

Start cellaring and the you’ll come back to it and it will taste even better.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

You hit the pinnacle when you reached the Virginias. Buy all you can.

 

[ChuckMijo]

I’m biased I only smoked a few blends . I stick with what I love. Few English, few Va/per. I don’t chase the hype

The Virginia flakes do feel a bit like a destination. Of course, I may have just been reading too much Hoosier boosterism.

 

[Recon Paul]

I'm about a year in and I'm graduating from step 1 to an amalgamation of 2,3, and 4. My next order will seal that deal.

defiantly stick to mixture, best tobacco in the world.

Lakelands.

I have tried a couple. Intriguing. They are certainly unique. I definitely finished each exploratory bowl not actually knowing if I liked them or not.

It's OK not to like them. I think the flavors and smells were once commonplace, but no longer, so they seem weird today.

I like this Virginia. Better get more Virginias. What will I do with all these aros, Englishes, and burleys?

Aros: you've my address.
Burleys: send them to @seanv
Englishes: I'm sure there's no shortage of trash cans in your location.

I can't figure out if I like them either.

Oriental forward blends.

 

[shanez]

I pretty much use my own category system which works for me and disregard everything else.

Try some Bob's Chocolate Flake and relax instead. Lets see, it's aromatic with virginia, burley, and latakia so categorize however you want. Or don't and just enjoy the heck out of it. BTW, it also has a hint of Lakeland.

 

[archerdarkpint]

The pipe tobacco hierarchy for me: - Aromatics, VaPer, Latakia included, Virginias, and finally Burley. Includes all subsequent blends/types/compounds/mixtures/regionals, i.e. Balkans, Oriental, English, Lakeland, etc. Still enjoy them all, just depends on the mood.
