Tobacco Blends

[terry]

Ok...be honest...of all the tobacco blends out there on the market today..is there a blend that relly meets the smell and taste that you like?

No ther is not as of yet still more to try but Squadron leader and penzance come close.

I like 1-Q and Maple St. and many more. ::

My favourite blend is Peterson's Connoisseur's Choice. The blend which most tastes like the tin note though that I've had would have to be MacBaren's Vanilla Cream Loose Cut.

Any strong English blend I love. There are a few non-aromatics that I like as well (MB Golden Extra for example). As for aromatics, there is a small handful that I think are really good too.
So yes! There are actually quite a few that meet my "smell and taste" needs! :D

Every blend I continue to smoke does, or I wouldn't reorder it. Mac Baren Club Blend probably tops my list, but there are many more.

I don't want to settle on "one blend". It's all about the taste, and I like different tastes.

Why would anyone continue to smoke a pipe for years if they have not found a tobacco that they like the taste of?

The quest for the holy grail?

My specials blends are 1Q, Anniversary Kake and Night Cap.

Since I'm not looking for special spcial above 3 blends are more than enought for me.

All day are SAFE. Let's go Dodgers. Win Nr. 2.

What assaad said!
I'm baffled by the question. . . Is the OP suggesting that we're all putting up with things we don't like, even as we continue the search for something enjoyable? I hope that's not his own situation; why even bother smoking a pipe if you're not enjoying the experience?
And, for the record, I've found over 80 blends that I really enjoy the taste and smell of. . .

Variety is the spice of life, and I believe there has never been so much variety in pipe tobacco blends as there is nowadays.
I also find the taste of a tobacco mixture that wasn’t so great at first can grow on you as you smoke through the tin or pouch, conversely, the opposite can also occur.

While there ARE several that come pretty close in one way or another (and which I smoke a great deal of), I am one who's on a Holy Grail search ...
These, in one order or another, are the blends I like best and smoke the most of ...

4noggins Prairie Wind

GLPease Telegraph Hill

Cornell and Diehl Bayou Morning

Dunhill Elizabethan
Of course, there ARE at least a dozen others that are in my regular rotation because as dottiewarden noted, variety is the spice of life ...

Right now my "go to" blend is OVTC "Gettysburg" which is a Virginia/Black Cavendish blend. A little on the mild side but I find it full of flavor with a very pleasant aroma.

 

[natibo]

I thought about this for a while. While two vastly different blends, I would say Nightcap and 1Q.

Everything that I've tried so far really sucks, so I keep buying more.
