Looking for Suggestions

[Solastor]

Hi, my friends and I are new to pipe smoking and we're looking for a good, fairly sweet blend. We've only tried Captain Black and weren't that impressed. What would you all recommend as far as sweet tobacco goes?

I would reccomend posting an introduction first! So we can have an idea on who you are lol.


And as for the pipe tobacco, I can reccomend getting away from aromatic blends (meaning anything with more then just tobacco). I would look for more natural blends. Like Frog Morton (which may have a topping on it but I cant notice it) I thought it was pretty sweet when I first got into pipes. Maybe try a straight Virginia tobacco like Mcclellands #27 or #22. If you continue with pipe smoking look for these blends aswell

What? No Oriental blends?

Those are some of my favorite VAs and VaPers (virginia and virginia/perique).

I also enjoy Orientals in the mix like in McClellend's Grand Orientals. Yenice Agonya and Yenidje Supreme and two I still enjoy very much.

Im not a huge fan od orientals. Idk why, but they just dont do it for me. Yenidje Supreme was my first grand.... and my last. lol

I'm not a huge aromatic smoker, but an old favorite of mine would be Middleton's Sugar Barrel - I think 4 Noggins will sell you a 2oz sample for a few bucks. Smoke it in a cob and its hard to shake the image of Kettle Corn at a County Fair. As VaPers have already suggested, I will suggest you give Orlick Golden Sliced a try - its a Va with a little burley, but overall a very sweet and solid smoke. Its one of my top go-to smokes.

Gawith Chocolate, Boswell Christmas Cookie and, at your local tobacconist, Carter Hall(flavorful burley).

What kind of strength level were you looking for?
