My first real go at pipe tobacco, all the while obtaining and tasting as many blends, and presentations as possible was SWR, a codger burley which is mostly a cube cut. I liked its flavor, its moisture out of the tub, its tub note, and its cut Made for easy loading.
Nowadays, I'm still obtaining and tasting new blends to me, and one I've tried both from Lanes and from Sutliff is their copies of Edgeworth Ready Rubbed. The Sutliff Match I have currently is almost pelletized. Could even do with some further rubbing, or at least a little breathing time before burning.
A nice slow burning burley blend and a cuppa black fresh ground coffee works really well.
