I once asked my nearest pipe expert, "So, what pipe tobacco is there that tastes like a cigar?" He gave me the look but suggested Virginia Spice. I probably asked about this in the middle of an old kick-butt El Rico Habano Club pepper-bomb. Love the pepper bombs and wanted pepperbomb pipe tobak so I'd stay in touch with cigars. But the tofu thing is how it panned out. One good snork of Escudo killed any interest in finding pipe tobak that said "cigar." Pipe tobak stands on its own for me. When I want a pipe that tastes like a cigar, I smoke a cigar.

Nevertheless, the H&H Virginia Spice that SlowTriathlete mentioned above, is nice pipe smoke with a cigar edge.
