The Tobacco Choices of Pipe Makers?

[alexnc]

Marco at Moretti told me he's a Virginia guy.
Jeremy at C&D (not a carver, but I was curious about blenders since they have unlimited supply and options) said he had been on a Speakeasy bing (that was December 2017) but he carried a mix of options with him every day that included Golden Days of Yore, Innsmouth, Dreams of Kadath, Mad Fiddler Flake, Bluegrass, White Lightning, and Comfort

I use Escudo, mostly for my eye opener in the morning, my all day smoke is Elizebethan with a pinch of D&R Picyunne.

Oh and a MoW or Diesel cigar now and then

Dan,

Thanks for the input, everyone!
Of course blenders choices are equally interesting.

Lee Von Erck smokes a helluva lot of 5100, according to his interview some years ago on the radio show.

bluegrassbrian,
It would be interesting to hear his take on the 5100 replacements.

Really like his pipes, they got personality. Some day I have to order one...

I suspect pipemakers are as likely to stick to one blend as are your average pipe smoker. Dontchathink?

Bruce Weaver is a big fan of Virginia blends.

Particularly, Dunhill Three Year Matured Virginia, if I recall properly.
