New Pipe Smoker With A Question? Ask an Old Fart

I got 4 (50g) tins of the following tobaccos:

Frog Morton
Frog Morton on the Town
Frog Morton on the Bayou
Frog Morton Across the Pond

Would you consider that a pretty nice sample for a newbie, now that I think of it I hope it's not aromatic.

I think it will be. I have never tried any of them, but as long as they do not have bad reviews they should be worth the try. Let us know how they smoke, and create some of your own reviews on them!

Like Rev'mo' said, it's a personal thing. I'd say that Frog Morton tobaccos are about as universally liked as anything else I know - and I don't think much of any of them.

Rev'mo' finds Carter Hall detestable and I think it's a nice blending tobacco or a good change of pace smoke.

There is no answer to what's a good sampler unless you get it from someone you already know has tastes similar to yours. And even then...
