Been a while since I've posted so here goes.
Best pipe baccy I could get local was the usual stuff Dr Pats, which I've been using as a RYO, Erinmore, Borkum and Amphora. All not bad but as I have recently found not great.
Found an online supplier here in Australia and they have some cracking baccy. Ordered a few sample 10g packs and a 50g Samuel Gawith Commonwealth blend. Ordered on Thursday delivered Friday morning fantastic.
Am working my way through the samples so far I really like the Luxury Navy Flake, think it's Peter Stokkebye, first time I've smoked a Perique blend. The St James Samuel Gawith was very good another Perique blend I think.
Next I tried some Latakia blends the mentioned Commonwealth and Blakeleys Best Latakia which I enjoyed immensely. Also tried a bowl of McClelland Dark Star Black Label very dense and strong and 1792 Samuel Gawith which was strong but not my favorite.
Some of the baccy don't have the sample option like the Dunhill can anyone suggest a good Dunhill. Frog Morton is another I'd like to try but have heard it's quite mild there are a few different blends and then there's the aromatics. As I'm still quite new to this any advice on good tobacco is appreciated. I know someone traveling to Europe this month they have asked can they pick up some pipe baccy for me any suggestions.
