[QUOTE="planetary, post: 261795, member: 955"] Just seven is really hard. Take a look at [url=http://www.smokersforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=96388]this list of tobacco touchstones[/url]. (I used to maintain a similar list in the old Tobacco Aging FAQ.) If the intent is to pick blends that will allow you speak intelligibly with others, you might sacrifice some quality and go with the "good *and* popular", like the current iteration of Escudo, or Full Virginia Flake, or #5100. (Some may put these into the "excellent" category. The point is, you should know what these taste like.) I might amend this list with a variety of blends on available through trades or ebay, e.g. GLP Renaissance or Bohemian Scandal, or Bell's Three Nuns. That said, I would not waste a slot on drugstore blends or goopy aromatics -- focus on the good stuff. My two cents! :) [/QUOTE]
