I must say that as a pipe smoker, I am not satisfied smoking only one blend of tobaccos. There are literally hundreds or more different brands on the market and I attest that no 2 are really alike. The process of preparing pipe tobacco, I am yet to myself explore in detail. I will say that the names of each are endearing and that each indeed has an aroma all into itself.
I must report here that I probably have about 120 dollars of pipe tobacco, maybe more in my home as purchased since the beginning of January. It is clearly enough. But that said, I have constantly been seeking to try new blends, whether by mail order or from my local tobacconist. I have blends that are brown, gold, thick in cut (plug cut), black and sticky looking, and otherwise drier but pliably cut and prepared.
The names of the ones I've gotten from my cigar store so far include Dutch Cavendish, Yarn Spinner, Shenandoah, Cherry Sunset, Sunset, Fireside, Cherry Blossom, Highland Whiskey and maybe one of my favorites yet too new too me to decide, Gold Leaf. I am almost to the point where I've tried all that the store has to offer. I am yet to try maybe 3 other blends. That said, I usually get a 5 dollar bag that indeed lasts me a good 14 smoking bowl fills or so and thus in alternating usage will not be consumed for a number of weeks. I can afford a 5 dollar tobacco bag that might last me a week or so if that was the only source of tobacco for the week.
I have found that online there are a number of pipe tobaccos. As well, browsing pipe designs has become a hobby of sorts for me once in a while. I have been shopping at the store http://www.pipesandcigars.com/ . A plug, I know, but if you want to see a good seller, check this Albany located place out. I must say that I have purchsed now a few tins of tobacco. All vastly different. A neat experience, really. And always that there is a varied selection for the consumptive pleasing aroma of pipe smoke.
