Hey guys,

I have been in the search function for a bit and am kind of overwhelmed. Would some kind soul please give me a list of some different types of tobacco and a good blend/brand to get. For example, everybody seems to love the FVF so that would be a VA, so what is a Va/Per? Also what is a good va/per to smoke..and so on. I would like to cover orientals, burleys, Laks and anything else you think I should know as well. Any help would be appreciated.
 
I haven't smoking as long as a lot of members but here are my recommendations:

VA: Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake, Rattray's Hal O the Wynd
VA/Per: Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake
VA/Per with a little black cavendish: Peter Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake
Burley: Prince Albert
Oriental: Presbyterian Mixture, Dunhill Early Morning Pipe (when it becomes available again)
Latakia: Peter Stokkebye Balkan Supreme

There are a lot of blends and you will get a lot of suggestions from others. Those are the ones that I have enjoyed

Good luck!
 
That's great Johnny! Just what I was looking for. Anybody else?
 
FVF is pretty strong stuff. Great for the seasoned smoker but often a bit overwhelming for the newer pipe smoker. I'd go for something a bit tamer, less bold, like Union Square or SG Golden Glow (excellent stuff!).

For a Vaper, I love McClelland's St James Woods.

Burley, Uhle's Perfection Plug, none finer.

Oriental, that's tough because there are so many variations out there, but I love McClellands Orient 996.
 
Va: GLP Union Square
VaPer: GLP Fillmore
Oriental: GLP Embarcadero
English: GLP Westminster
 
I Would add PCCA Beacon Va/Per
G&H's CR flake Va
Embarcadero Va/oriental
Exotique Balkan
Westminster.......English :tongue:
 
Wow, thank you guys!! This is turning into a great list.

or Hyper Cubed! :D
These are the cornerstones.

I whole heartedly agree with pipetongue1. PCCA Beacon is my FAVORITE VaPer thus far! My tins are ten years + old.

Also try these :
Solani 633 / VaPer
Reiner LGF / VaPer & Burley
Butera Kingfisher VaPer & Burley
McClelland 2015 Bulk / VaPer
Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky / Va & "Dark fired" Kentucky
Dunhill Nightcap / VaPer w/ Latakia (Don't worry it's almost back!)
Dunhill Early Morning Pipe / Va & Orientals (Ditto almost here again!!!)
Boswell's Northwoods (English) Black Cavendish,Virginia,Latakia

If you'd like to build up a little foundational knowledge on the differences between leaf and blend types, you could do far worse than this page: http://pipedia.org/index.php?title=Pipe_Tobaccos

A 50/50 blend of Gawith Hoggarth's Kendal Kentucky and Brown Bogie rope is the PipeWorld's universally accepted "starter mixture" for new smokers. As light as air--almost no body at all, and delicately sweet. The room note is also one that women everywhere love.

Also, it is best smoked in a large-bowled pipe that lasts 1.5 hours or more, and in a small, still room. A coat closet is ideal.

Enjoy!
