[QUOTE="jj1015, post: 199126, member: 207"] If you want to sample a bunch at a reasonable price, call Cornell and Diehl and have them put together a sampler. They make exemplary blends in each category and also manufacture GL Pease and others. Here's a suggested list: 1) GLP Chelsea Morning (a light English) 2) GLP Maltese Falcon (a medium/full English with enough sweetness to be a good beginner English) 3) GLP Filmore (one of the best Va/Perique blends around) 4) C&D Opening Night (a great VA) 5) Epiphany (a solid old-school American blend with burlies, VA, latakia and perique) 6) GLP Barbary Coast -- the only outright aromatic in GL Pease's stable. An excellent and popular tobacco. 7) C&D Old Joe Krantz -- a benchmark burley blend. This one is a little strong, but if you smoke it in a smaller pipe you'll be just fine. 8) C&D Autumn Evening --- some say this is the best aromatic out there. At the least, it's a remarkably good aromatic that gives you both a great maple flavor but also the taste of good VA. You've got an interesting list up there, but I sense there's a bit of confusion when it comes to how to categorize things. I don't know how Barbary Coast or Sunzabitches could ever be called "english" blends, for instance, but you'll pick up the jargon as you go along. Peaceable puffing! [/QUOTE]
