Smoking About a Year...Recommendations?

[DavidThomas]

Title edited.

I’ve been smoking Borgan Riff cherry for a while now which I quite enjoy but would like to try something different. I’ve tried Condor which I found I didn’t enjoy that much. Bearing in mind I’m relatively new I’m looking for recommendations for a tobacco which is not to hard to keep alight and has some flavour to it. I fully understand it’s a matter of choice but willing to give it a try.

Aromatics are generally tough for new smokers to get right.
Many suggest starting with a burley "codger" blend like Carter Hall, Grainger or Sir Walter Raleigh.

You should also try out some of the english/balkan blends. Easy to smoke and flavor is easy to get in the smoke.
C&D Engine #99
C&D Quiet Nights
Etc.

Also:
Please put your location in your Profile, as people are forgetful.
Why: It will save time for others as to where you live when you mention local stores, weather, tobacco prices, availability, regulations, location of photos, wildfires, air quality, etc. In many instances that saves time for those who read your posts, and for you in not having to reply to inquiries. .
How:
Under your avatar, (top right, left most of three symbols) you choose "Account Details", which brings up "My Account". "My Location" is halfway down. Whatever you're comfortable with- town, city, county, state. province, etc.

The Quiet Nights will be found under G.L. Pease. C&D is the actual manufacturer it but it will be found under Pease's name because he is the original blender of the tobacco.

Do you have a tobacconist near you?

Regardless, I'd suggest you try some typical blends we call "English", but I cannot recommend what as I don't know what might be available to you.

I have to order online, no tobacconist near me. I’m using this site. Smoke-King UK Tobacconist - Cigars, Cigarettes, Tobacco, Pipes - https://www.smoke-king.co.uk/

Hey from central North Carolina. My maternal grandfather was said to be Welsh, but family visiting Wales didn't see his family name in any of the history they encountered. Faxon was the name. Welcome aboard.

I don't know what tobaccos are available there, but Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic and Cornell and Diehl Mountain Camp fill the bill for me, among many others. Lakeland blends I like are GH&Co. Irish X rope cut Virginia and 83 Scotch Mixture.

From that site I'd recommend: This sampler.

Welcome! The old cover blends have stuck around for a reason.

Best of luck

Welcome from Missouri. I'm still in the process of sampling tobaccos so I'm no help there.
