Anything with that "sweetgrass" aroma or taste that folks can think of?

As a very new pipe smoker (about two months now), I'm still developing my palate and sampling a bunch of tobaccos to figure out what I like. So far, I've only smoked aromatics and have found a few nice ones that agree with me. What I haven't been able to figure out is what Virginia tobacco tastes like. Are there any Virginia blends you folks could recommend that would provide that classic or archetypal taste for a beginner like me? I'm just trying to get a sense of what people mean when they say they can taste Virginia tobacco in a blend. Thanks in advance!

I too am new and trying to figure out flavors. I had basically no idea with my first few orders, but I did manage to purchase a pure Virginia, Sutliff Sweet Virginia #707 by accident, which has helped me a little.
