I am fairly new to pipe smoking and I have been smoking capstan mild for a while. I like it because it burns very well and I get no tongue bite. I really like it but would like to try other virginia tobaccos but I just don't know what other virginia's to try, do you have any recommendations.
I have only tried capstan mild (yellow tin) and Mc baren virginia flakes. The mc baren virginia flakes is a little sweeter than capstan for my taste. I like them both tough. These are the only two virginias i have ever smoked.
Anyway, if you know of any other virginia tobaccos that are good please let me know. thanks
