What is your favorite type of tobacco.

[mrbrandybuck]

What type of tobacco is your favorite. I'm not referring to a specific blend I'm referring to the tobacco. I.e Virginia, Latakia, Perique etc.
My favorite is Latakia.

 

[pipetrucker]

Depends upon my mood. Most of the time it is Latakia, sometimes Virginia, sometimes Burley.
Ok, I know that isn't really an answer to your question but it's the truth.

Virginias

 

[excav8tor]

Virginia's for me too

 

[menckenite]

That's sorta like asking me what's my favorite genre of music. It depends on my mood but aslo my taste are changing. I can say this: I've really enjoyed any flake tobacco I've tried so far.

 

[papipeguy]

Generally, Latakia 9 out of 10 times.

 

[cortezattic]

The only individual leaf type I could smoke by itself is Virginia.

There's probably a good Oriental out there that might work too, but I wouldn't know.
As for the tobacco type that I am most thankful for having, it's Perique.

 

[unclearthur]

For me it depends . Usually latakia though.

All depends on the mood and the weather

I tried a twist/rope Virginia the other day, and I have to admit that it tasted like what it looked like.
However, I have to say, that I like the way Cavendish burns, and tastes.

I love Latakia, Perique, Virginia blends, and Oriental/Turkish tobaccos but Cavendish blends do it for me.

 

[abecox]

Uh... is VA/Per a good answer? Cause they are my favorite!

 

[krgulick]

As long as its pipe tobacco, I usually like it. ;-) like some other posters here, it depends on my mood at the time.

 

[igloo]

Virginias for the base , then add everything else .

 

[hobie1dog]

I haven't narrowed it down to a favorite yet

 

[classicgeek]

Cavendish or cavendish & Virginias. I like Latakia, but as an occasional thing rather than every time. My foray into VaPer territory tasted good but I got the spins.

 

[hauntedmyst]

For me, its more of what I don't like...or more accurately, what I haven't been able to get to work for me. I've tried half a dozen VA flakes and just can't get them to sing for me. My understanding from reading other boards is that since I tend to like big, bold Englishes and smooth aromatics, my tastes don't really register the subtle flavors of most VA's.

 

[whitebriar]

burley

 

[flanative]

Im a big Burley fan! That being said, it all depends on my mood.

 

[dd951]

Cavendish foor me, but I do like A very mild latakia

I'm with the rest of the wishy washy nonanswerers...depends on mood, weather, what pipes are sufficiently rested and available for smoking...etc. When I started smoking I quickly moved from local aromatics to English/Balkan type tobaccos and fell in love with latakia. I then tried, and soon fell in love with, perique but could never understand straight Virginias. One day an old timer, and rather dapper fellow, suggested I try some of his Marlin Flake and explained breath smoking to me. I walked out of that shop with a tin of Marlin Flake, Dark Star, Full Virginia Flake, Dunhill Flake and Three Year Matured and a dumbfounded look on my face at the realization that I was a Virginia lover. After 13 years of pipe smoking I am now finally getting around to reexploring aromatics, burleys and cavendish blends. I have smoked cigarettes and cigars, I have dipped and chewed loose leaf and plugs, and I keep a tin of Fribourg and Treyer Bordeaux snuff on the go. In summary, I love tobacco in just about all forms, but the only 2 that have stuck with me are the pipe and fine snuffs.
