New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart

RevSmoke · 11-07-2011, 02:17 PM

Personally, I divide the different blends into these categories.

Burley Blends - blends with burley predominating as the base tobacco (Cornell & Diehl does Burley the best, although I do not gravitate toward them - if I were to have one I'd have #107 Haunted Bookshop or #126 Old Joe Krantz)
Oriental Blends - Oriental are the base. (I don't really have anything to offer here because I really don't have one that I keep around)
Virginias - without much other than different Virginias in them. (Astley's 109, Dan's Hamborger Veermaster, Esoteria Dorchester, Samuel Gawith Full VA Flake, & I'll throw Cornell & Diehl's Back Porch in here)
VaPers - have Virginias and Perique only. (Gawith & Hoggarth Louisiana Flake, Escudo, Sam Gawith St. Jame's Flake)
English Blends - have Latakia in varying amounts, and my have other consituent tobaccos. (Gawith & Hoggarth Mixture #12, Dunhill 965, Cornell & Diehl Bow-legged Bear & #416 Plantation Evening, Esoterica Penzance)
Aromatics - these have some kind of top-note or casing that flavors the tobaccos. (Two Friends Celtic Mist)

Hope these posts were helpful.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
