"The One" turns out to be the One Of The Moment. Next year it will be a different one. Your tastes will change over time, and that's a good thing. You'll revisit many of the Ones of the past, and re-enjoy them as you keep on exploring.

The problem with finding the "one" is that when you think you've found it your tastes change and you end up looking for another. But that is a good thing?It's not the destination that is so important but it is the journey along the way that is so enjoyable!

A young man's notion of happiness is a different woman every evening.

An old guy's is the one he loves.

I think Yak hit the nail on the head. I have been smoking a pipe for over thirty years and used to try anything and everything in hopes of finding the one. I was offerred Marlin flake about ten years ago and figured my journey was over. I smoke Marlin Flake and Old Gowrie almost exclussivly now and would be happy with just those two. Having said that, I still will try another VA from time to time just to add variety. I think as others have suggested it is type that is your best bet. On the other hand some find the chase to be just too exciting to settle. Find some blends you like in order to have something to fall back on and explore as you wish from there. When you do find some you really like, stock up big time if you can. As Mikem said as soon you find one the blender with change it or go out of business or sell the name.

One of things I love about pipe tobacco is the variety.
I'll never settle on "the one."
