[QUOTE="Fishfuzz, post: 236011, member: 2480"] Do you have a well stocked local shop for tobacco? If so, you might start there, sampling as many bulk offerings as they have. Your preferences for particular styles will help us guide you. I started out with the typical Lane offerings (lighter aromatics), and now favor blends such as Stormfront, Squadron Leader, and SG Navy Flake. Blends I was fearful of originally, but with the help of this board, sampled and loved. As for the best [u]value[/u], I wish someone had prompted me to buy a Missouri Meerschaum Cob with a Walker stem before I headed down the briar path. I could have saved myself a nice chunck of change. If you follow the guide posted here, a cob really can serve as an excellent starting point while you research your first briars. They are also great for sampling multiple tobaccos without potentially ghosting.
