As I work on the shop I am building, I am wanting to provide pipe tobaccos that people actually like to smoke. Rather than have tons of junk tobaccos to wade through, I want to bring a selection that people enjoy.

What are your favorite blends? What do you regularly smoke? Where do you get it? If it's a house blend at your local B&M, what's the name of the shop?

Let's here what you like!

A regular smoke for me is one that I keep going back to
Usually I get mine where I find it the cheapest
Most places dont carry all I like so I have to order from 2 or 3 shops in bulk orders to get my order compleated

PA
CH
SWR Reg
Lanes 1Q
Lanes TK6
These usually come from Lilbrown smokshack or wv smokeshop or JR'scigars

The bulks I buy from the local pipe shop. The Rattrays and Presbyterian Mixture have been ordered on line or mail order. The local pipe shop carried Dunhill tins so that's where I bought them also. The Gatlin-Burley bulk can only be purchased from The Gatlinburlier pipe shop. The OTC burleys are purchased from a local discount tobacco/cigarette store.

One Correction:

The Mclelland Townsman Cavendish is Brandy, not Bourbon,
Its the one in the black bag.

I am going to go out on a limb here and assume this Capt. Black exchange was not an inside joke of sorts. ;)

A good variety of tobaccos have been mentioned in this thread and I am not sure I could add to the list but regarding CB, I agree with the whole gunked up pipe thing. However, if you are building an inventory for retail sales by all means include CB. People do buy it. (I just don't happen to be one of them.) :D
