+1 on the FM's-- I consider them aro's, but quite good.
Capstan Blue is sublime- Let it dry out & smoke it slow.

Right now I'm finishing off a tin of GLP Triple Play, which I find full-flavored without being overbearing.
It's cube/plug. Also, the Luxury Navy Flake (Peter Stokkebye) that someone mentioned earlier.
An interesting aro is Altadis Queen Anne's Revenge, Va/bur/Cav/rum. Also, Lanes LL-7. Definitely
try mixing tobaccos. Best to keep it simple at first, like maybe a Virginia, a plain burley, and maybe
Cavendish for flavoring. I'd mix it a pipe bowl or two at a time in a ceramic bowl, so you can adjust
the proportions. An easy first outing is equal parts Va and bur, with a lesser but liberal pinch of Cav.
You can try throwing in complex blends with eachother, but this can be pretty harsh or just not a good
taste.

I received this Stanwell yesterday. Not new. The original owner had left dottle in the chamber. Fortunately, he was not an aromatic smoker. Pretty heavy on the latakia, though. Anyway, I cleaned and sanitized. Came to realize that perhaps the original owner had smoked maybe one or two bowls. I need to treat this as a new pipe. So filled it halfway with London Mixture and enjoyed my fist smoke. Very nice.
