Need opinions on tobacco order

[stewartinsaudi]

I need some help please. I am trying to place an order for some pipe tobaccos and compiled a list as shown below. I was hoping to get a broad spectrum of each type: vaper, english, with a nod to aromatics with vanilla cream. Problem is, it is too much. Can some of the more experienced members take a look and tell me if any of these are close enough to one another to merit deletion and which would you delete? I need your help to pare down the list?

G.L. Pease - Odyssey
G.L. Pease - Caravan
Solani Blend 633
Sam Gawith - Squadron Leader
Sam Gawith - Full Virginia Flake
Samuel Gawith Balkan Flake
Esoterica - Penzance
Esoterica - Dunbar
Charles Fairmorn - Lancer Slices
Peter Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake
Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake
McClelland 2015
Charles Fairmorn - Sterling Balkan 759
Cornell & Diehl "Haunted Bookshop"
MacBaren Vanilla Cream
McClelland ORIENT 996

Thanks

Well, I don't know if I qualify as "experienced", but I don't see any obvious overlaps.

You might start off trying just one English, one VA, one burley, etc., just to see if there is an entire branch of blends that you tend to really like or tend to really dislike.

But aside from that, I don't see any way to shorten your list.

Looks like a good order to me as is Of course, I don't have to pay for it...

Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake

If necessary

Esoterica - Penzance

I'd take out the Vanilla Cream & go with the rest.
