Re: Your 2-3 preferred tobacco blending houses
I'll be glad when I've had a bit more experience under my belt and can contribute to threads like these; if I had to list three at this point, I'd have to go all the way down to Mac Baren's, and I've never finished a tin of theirs...

Never smoked Ashton or McCellend's, but if you ever get to Atlanta look me up we have a good deal in common. A couple of bowls of 1792, Bracken Flake, Irish Flake and some Five Brothers—what could be better.

Re: Your 2-3 preferred tobacco blending houses
Liking a tobacco (Escudo or Reiner LGF) is different from liking a range from a blending house... hmmmmmm.

Samuel Gawith - so many wonderful products
Rattray - so many wonderful products
Dunhill - several wonderful products

Precisely. That was the reason I worded the OP in this thread the way I did. Escudo is certainly in my top 5 blends but at the time A&CP would not have been considered for my top 3 blenders.

Now after smoking some old Caledonian and Premier Cru, I may have to rethink that. On the other hand, that stuff is no longer available....

Re: Your 2-3 preferred tobacco blending houses
SG has a fantastic range of tobaccos. They manage to have top blends on every category. FVF, BBF, SL, St. James Flake, Kendall Cream, Firedance, 1792... If there was only one blending house I would be happy if SG was the one.

Re: Your 2-3 preferred tobacco blending houses
Gonna have to keep lurking threads like this and look for the names that pop up a lot. Starting out in the pipe smoking hobby is kinda overwhelming! There are just tons of tobaccos out there to smoke!

Yes there are, but the journey is part of the fun. I have smoked the pipe for 39 years and am still trying new blends. TobaccoReviews.com - The largest collection of pipe tobacco reviews on the internet[/url] is an excellent site to learn what smokers think about each blend. You might peruse this site as well and it will help. First off is to try the basic types, Virginias, Burleys, English Blends, Aromatics, etc. Then when you find what you like, you can narrow down the type you like and then try all the varieties. Good luck and happy piping!
