If I were to envision Capt. Picard galavanting around the galaxy fighting the Borg while smoking on a pipe, I would believe that he would smoke two distinctly different types of tobacco for different situations.
First, while on duty commanding the Enterprise or playing a role with Data on the Holodeck, I believe he would enjoy a proper English blend to accompany his Tea, Earl Grey, Hot. Perhaps even Eric Stokkebye's blend of the same name.
Second, while on shore leave visiting Risa or Chateau Picard back on Earth, I think Picard might an intriguing Va/Per... something akin to C&D's Plantation Evening.
Just my .02. Smoke long & prosper.
