In the past I would lean toward MacCellan Wilderness but it’s gone so now it would be either Esoterica Pembroke or Rattray Reserve 7.
The ones that are hardest to get ahold of are the best ones. I wish it was not that way, but it is.
Pease's Westminster. It's the indispensable blend for me. If I could only have one, that's what it would be. I have yet to try so many others though so who knows what the years may bring.
Right now, I'd go with MyMixture 965, though I could also happily settle for Sutliff English Oriental #400341. It's that fantastic aromatic crossover that just hits the right spots for me.
Tough question indeed. Since I can only pick one, it would have to C&D Old Joe Krantz.
Wish I had a picture of the OG rectangular tins to share but this is all I could find right now, no finer smoke for me, maybe might prefer it in a cob but we're splitting hairs...
I'm not sure if my "best" tobacco would also be my desert island tobacco. Why's that?
My "best" tobacco would be the 3 Oaks Syrian. But as there is really limited supply, I hold an open tin as long as I can, so it is not allday material for me. Desert island tobacco needs to be an allday though, so I'd go for the Palmetto.

Savinelli Doblone D'oro.
Scratches all the itches - Virginia, burley, and perique, and does it really well.
Close second - HOTW.

Wow! Military Force. I received a sample of that before it went up for sale on the website. It's excellent!
For me its going to me Newminster 400. I have nearly 10 or 12 pounds of that locked away. As a backup 507C is very good too.

Arango’s Balkan Supreme but lately I have really been enjoying Billy Budd.
Loved “spooked myself”. I can relate to that.
It's a tricky question but probably MacBaren HH Burley Flake.
If we're taking about what's currently available I'd go with Match 20 or NM400.
If we're taking about any tobacco ever I'd say FMOTT.

Recently I had the opportunity to taste a 2003 Cairo by Pease, and I have to admit it's purely the best tobacco I ever taste.
Yes, I have all the orientals by McClelland, but that old Cairo is just something like 3 steps up than these tobaccos.

You do know that would doom any chances of a rescue, right?
That is a handsome pipe! Who made it? Are the walls too thin?Wish I had a picture of the OG rectangular tins to share but this is all I could find right now, no finer smoke for me, maybe might prefer it in a cob but we're splitting hairs...
It's Jeremiah's signature shape 'Gumnut' over at Bullfrog Pipes out of Australia (I forget exactly which parts...)
On the contrary, the bulbous shape gives it rather thick chamber walls.
Capstan Blue. Or HH Pure Virginia. If I were leaving for the island today. On another day, Old Gowrie, Opening Night or even SPC Virginia Jazz could get the nod.
