OK. Been smoking pipes all together for about a year now and I’m really enjoying several top name popular blends, mostly English blends. I have a couple of favorite Aros already so I’m OK there.
However I’m still really confused when it comes to picking out the different components of most English blends. I’m currently favoring Latakia, Orientals and Balkans. I have tried some burley forward blends along with some Va/Pers. Not sure why but I found Escudo terrible... closest tobacco I’ve found to taste like cigarettes. Not giving up though. Going to try it in different pipes etc. I have a hard time giving up on tobaccos without trying them several times.
Anyway, I’m looking for some recommendations for single type tobaccos so I can learn to pick out individual components. Latakia and Orientals are easy to pick out so I would like to try Virginias, Burleys etc. Not sure if there is a Perique.
Any recommendations to take my pipe experience to the next level would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
