Mac Baren- 7 Seas Royal, 7 Seas Regular, Vanilla Cream Loose Cut, Cherry Ambrosia, Black Ambrosia
McClelland- Frog Morton on the Bayou, Best of Show
CAO- Eileen's Dream
Just for Him Middle Earth Pipeweed Series- Longbottom Leaf, Treebeard
Stanwell- Melange
Robert McConnell (sp?)- Scottish Cake, Ripe Honeydew
And numerous house blends from local tobacconists.

 

[romeowood]

6+ pounds, about 46 blends thoroughly smoked and perhaps twice that merely sampled. Give or take.

 

[robs]

The only one that has become outstanding, so much so that it has become my regular smoke would have to be McClelland's 5110.

 

[winton]

I started just over a year ago, so basically everything I have tried. The Chicago Pipe Show easily doubled the # of blends. Friends from the forum added more.

I've only tried a handful of new to me tobaccos this year - Peter Heinrichs Dark Strong, PH Curly, and GLP Lagonda. I fell in love with the Dark Strong, smoking at least a bowl a day all summer, and the Lagonda is one of Peases best since Ravens Wing. All in all it's been a good year!
