Help me spend ~125 bucks on pipe tobac

[morefifemusicanyone]

Shopping around, pipesandcigars.com had the best prices and I get free shipping. So, help me spend ~125 bucks. I have liked SG FVF, 1972, Escudo, Dunhill Nightcap. I have been smoking pipes for ~1 year and have had limited exposure to various blends.

Here is what I have so far (reinforce my choices/recommend others?):

Esoterica - Penzance (2oz Tin) - 8.09
Esoterica - Margate (2oz Tin) - 8.09
Rattrays - HOTW (100g Tin) - 14.25
Rattrays - Old Gowrie (100g Tin) - 14.25
McClelland - Christmas Cheer 2008 (100g Tin) - 13.87
AC Peterson - Escudo (50g Tin) - 11.40
Altadis - Blue Note (4 oz bulk, I enjoy this one and friends seem to like the ease of an aro to join in a pipe) - 7.32
Rattrays - Red Rapparee - (50g Tin) - 9.25
McConnels - Scottish Flake - (50g Tin) - 9.91
Gawith and Hoggarth - Kendal Kentucky (2oz Bulk) - 6.00
MacBaren - HH Mature Virginia - (3.5oz Tin) - 12.32
Hearth and Home - Annaversary Kake - (4oz Bulk) - 9.99

So, thoughts/recommendations? I am working on building up my cellar.

Thanks for looking!

Lot's of good ones there. Of the those I've tried, highly recommend Escudo, Old Gowrie, and Anni. Kake.

Have you tried the Butternut Burley? Definitely on my list with each pipes&cigars order.

You don't mention which ones you like and how much so my recs are just things I enjoy - which you may or may not!

Rattray's Marlin Flake and Brown Clunee
McClellands Navy Cavendish and Acadia Flake or 2015 (Bulk)
More Escudo (can't have too much!)
Davidoff English Mixture (truly unusual)
Gawith Squadron Leader

Have fun with whatever you decide!

But that is what I am looking is recommendations based on what others are liking.


As for the butternut burley, I have had it and I like it. I just couldn't find it on pipesandcigars.com. I don't know if they are out or what. I would get 4oz of that over the blue note if I could (other than ordering the butternut burley separately from 4noggins.com).

Thanks for the recs guys, keep em coming.

Good to see Anniversary Kake, excellent choice!

I'd also add:

Butera's Matured Ribbon
Lane's BCA
Esoterica's Stonehaven
S&G's Perfection

If you like Nightcap, could always try 965, or early morning pipe. A good burley should always be in stock (if you like them or what not). SG squadron leader. Oh, if you like Va, one I recently found is amazing--Peter Stokebye Twist Flake. (I'm gonna get more of it sometime soon.)

It's in the Pipe Tobacco Bulk section under "Scottys Bulk Blends".

I have an oz from the local b&m of early morning pipe to try. I may add Squadron Leader as well, I have been wanting to try that.

Thanks for the recs.

Sweet! Found it, thanks mate.

I'd throw in a tin of Pease Westminster. Actually I'd throw in about 5 but that's just me.

I have had that one in and out of the cart all day. Maybe I will have to throw it back in.

I'd like to recommend:
Petersons Irish Flake
Ashtons Smooth Sailing
W.O. Larsens Signature
CAO/DAN Di Vinci
Two Friends Heritage
Ashtons Gold Rush
W. O. Larsens 1864
Momoyama

I second the Stonehaven. Probably my favorite smoke.
