Oh I guess I should give some sort of smoking background as well. I like darker cigars when I can afford em, Partagas are probably my favorites at the moment but I'm missing the huge cigar selections that I had before moving up here - a few shops with cases but no more walk-in humidors. I enjoy a cigarette on occasion but normally more as a nostalgia thing than anything else, Camels or Nat Sherman. Since I'm here though my favorite is probably obvious, I like pipes the best! Started off with OTC aeros like most of us but after taking a plunge and ordering some Esoterica a while back it's like a switch went on in my head and I need to learn everything I can about all the various types out there.
Let's see, so far I have...
Esoterica Margate (current favorite), And So To Bed (good until the bottom of my tin and out of nowhere it started tasting like pure salt in every pipe I smoked it in), Pembroke, Tillbury (first full Virginia and I like it, though I think I prefer Englishes), and an eBay tin of Penzance which I probably overpaid on but I'd really like to try it and use it as a reference point even if I can't afford to get it regularly.
Squadron Leader - I like it a lot, though the Turkish tobacco kind of reminds me too much of Camels if I'm not dedicating all of my attention to smoking it to find more complexities in it.
Bob's Chocolate Flake - when I first bought it last year the soapy Lakeland taste was too overwealming but it seems to have worn off now and it's pretty tasty stuff even if I can't really find any chocolate in it.
I've got a huge wishlist at this point, but near the top of my list I really want some potent rope tobacco and anything by GLP.
