Pipe tobacco is way different than cigars. So in reality its not as easy to pin point what one will like or what one won't like till you try the tobacco. Each blend and each different tobacco offers a different experience to the pipe smoker. One good way to get your feet wet is to goto a B&M shop and try their house blends. Why I say this you might ask. Because is so much cheaper this route. One ounce of a house blend will generally be in the price range of $1.50 to $2.50 an ounce versus 1 tin of tobacco which is generally 50 grams for any where between $6.00 to $13 a tin. Granted the house blends isn't the top end of pipe tobacco, but you will learn from many different types in what you like and don't like.
Examples of tin tobacco or bag that I really enjoy are the following:
1.) Da Vinci made by CAO aka Dan Tobacco. Its a white label round can
2.) Mac Baren's navy Flake
3.) Peterson's University Flake
4.) Dunhill Light Flake
5.) Mac Baren's Dark Twist Roll Cake
6.) Mac Baren's Plum Cake
7.) Amazon : pipe tobacco that has a serious kick and not for amateurs as it comes in at a light 7% Nicotine
This is just a short sample list of some of my favorite pipe tobacco's in a tin.
And btw, that is a nice looking pipe. :thumbs:
