Hi guys,
I'd like to ask your opinion on how to continue the tobacco discovery journey ... if you follow my train of thoughts.

I have here 11 tobaccos that I've tried, some I liked, some I didn't, you know how it goes.
Now I go on this pipe tobacco online store, and ...what? What to get, how can I find new things that I might enjoy?
Buy anything and see how it goes ? shipping tobaccoes here costs a fortune, I'd rather make it without too many risks.

How would you guys do ?
FYI I live in China, I can't just go to the corner tobacconist shop ... :'(
Maybe you have suggestions:

This is what I have and my opinions on them: (btw, my opnions are really the ones of a newbie, I might do everything wrong and thus have a wrong feeling about a great tobacco or vice versa)
WO LArsen 1864: I love the nutty smell and taste, it feels nice, sweet and comforting, but by the middle of the bowl it turns a little off.

WO Larsen Signature : great smell, also aromatic: interesting to smoke but can get a little bity.

Dunhill Nightcap: great experience to smoke, love the Latakia feeling but after a bowl or two, I feel like I need to taste something else.

Dunhill Early morning : same feeling as nightcap, English blend, latakia, strong, great smell, can get overdosish.

Samuel Gawith Perfection : actually, I think that I am not confident enough and experienced enough to really appreciate the tastes of these English blends who, to me tend to be a little too much.

Orlik Golden Sliced : took me a while to like it, but now I do enjoy it once in a while, :) I like the smell of it.
After that, I recently got the 5 blends of the "Middle series" from Just for him: still discovering them, just had a bowl of each. They feel a little the same to me. :-S
So here it is, if you guys have some suggestions for a new smoker, I'll take 'em.

Thanks a lot.

Anything from G.L. Pease should fit the bill. Particularly Sixpence and Cairo.

Smokingpipes has a tobacco locater tool that allows you to find tobaccos based on style, cut, ingredients and so on. It also allows you to omit things too, so say you don't like Latakia you can choose to omit that in your search. Once you have found what you think you might be looking for see if it is available in bulk so you can buy just an ounce or two to sample before making a large purchase. I use this all the time when seeking out new tobacco to explore then if I like it I'll buy a larger amount. 4noggins also has a good selection of bulk tobacco that can be purchased in small amounts. Good luck. :puffy:
