Hi Scott,

Welcome back! When you were smoking before, do you remember what kind of tobaccos you were smoking? Englishes, Virgnias, Aromatics, etc?

If you just want to pick up a few blends then I would highly suggest the following:

Escudo - this is a VaPer (Virginia and Perique mix) and it is delicious

Ruins of Isengard from Just For Him - A delicious blend of Burley, Cavendish, Black Cavendish, Virginia and a little bit of Latakia. I have had a lot of compliments on the room note when smoking this blend and it tastes just as good. Any of the Middle-Earth Pipeweed series from Just For Him would be a good blend to start with. This one and A Shortcut to Mushrooms are 2 of my favourites.

Samuel Gawith's Full Virginia Flake - straight virginia and extremely tasty

Samuel Gawith's Best Brown Flake - Another straight virgnia that is just a wonderful smoke.

Frog Morton's Cellar - Like having a pipe full of smokey, delicious, whiskey. This has quickly become one of my go to blends. Just look at the reviews.

I hope this helps and hopefully you enjoy at least one of these!

All the best!
Alex
