What (Non Aro) Pipe Tobaccos is the Best in Your Opinions?

[mso489]

The best plan to determine your own top choices, which will change over time, is to sample many blends in small quantities (pouch, 1 or 2 oz bulk, one tin, etc.) and keep track of the constituent tobaccos in those you like. Save (jar) those you don't like to sample again in a year or two.
Try new blends based on constituents you like in previous samples. Take your time and enjoy yourself, which is the point. Out of the blue, I'd recommend Cornell & Diehl Billy Budd, and Old Joe Krantz original, both available in bulk, I believe.

My favorite non aromatic in general, C&D Peagus. Plain and simple, Burley, Virginia and unflavored Cavendish. It has decent nicotine for most people, it can easily be smoked multiple times a day or "all day", smokes well without drying, not many if any relight's, no doddle to speak of, no moisture left behind. It tastes just like tobacco. ?

These guys are nuts. The best non-aro pipe tobacco is Chacom: #1. That's not just my opinion, it's been verified by the United National Institute of Best Tasting Tobacco as the best tasting blend.

And you are chairman of the board and chief scientist, no?

Today, in my opinion, the best tobacco is C & D Black Frigate because I just finished smoking it. Tomorrow, my opinion may change...

I am thoroughly enjoying this tin of brunello flake from 2018. It's actually remarkably good.....

I’ll give a different answer depending on what day of the week it is. Blends that I’d be really upset about if they went out of production tomorrow:

Arango Balkan Supreme
St Bruno Ready Rubbed
MacBaren HH Old Dark Fired
GLP Spark Plug
GLP Haddo’s Delight
GLP Key Largo
Erinmore Flake
C&D Habana Daydream
C&D Black Frigate
C&D Billy Budd
C&D Gentleman Caller
D&R Rimboche SJ (here’s hoping the new product will be as good as Mark’s)
D&R Picayune (oh wait...)

It’s a tie for me between old joe krantz and derby club aromatic for my favorite blends.

 

[kola]

GLP Gaslight.
G&H Best Brown #2
GLP Union Square

I could be content smoking just these 3 blends.

 

[virginialover]

Solani 656 is a good Burley blend but Semois is 10x better.
Artisan Blend, I wasn't impressed at all so for me Dan Tobacco Old Ironsides is 10x better.
Try them yourself if you don't believe me

Duane wins because we were asked for the one best blend....

 

[mingc]

Hollys Non Plus Ultra. It’s right there in the name.

Someone who gets it!

There is a best blend. Trick is, you will have to find it for yourself. Then, a lot of folks will disagree. And you will find that you were wrong, multiple times. But Ashton Artisan's Blend is a very good start for English.

Frog. The original. Maybe aromatic to some...

 

[Chasing Embers]

Hollys Non Plus Ultra. It’s right there in the name.

Outside being an aromatic, that one is great.
