I'm still a beginner and have only tried a few tobaccos so far including: SG FVF, Tudor Castle, Escudo, Frog Morton Cella, McClelland Legends and Dunhill Nightcap.
Basically I've liked them all. I love tobacco. I'd say the FVF stands at the top, the perique in the Escudo and Tudor Castle bugs me sometimes, sometimes I like it.
Sometimes the Latakia blends taste like soap which is unpleasant. My palate seems to change on this. Right now they are tasting good (soap free).
Frog Morton Cellar is definitely mild compared to the others which is good when I'm in just the right mood but generally prefer something heartier.
I'm thinking something with burley next which leads me to Exhausted Rooster and Peterson Irish Flake. Although the Navy Flake and 1792 are also calling my name...
What tin should I open next? Choices (All tins unopened, most have a few years on them, bought some aged tins for a good deal recently):
C&D Exhausted Rooster-from 2012, tin bulging
Peterson Irish Flake-new
Dunhill Flake-couple years
1792 Flake-couple years
SG Navy Flake-couple years
McClleland Wilderness-1 year
I have a few days on this, finishing the last of the FVF soon and will free up a jar. Opinions welcome
