longer finish tobacco's

[nismo350z]

I have found some blends that i absolutely love. Most from my local shop just out of the jar's. Most of the blends though have a very "short finish" im a cigar smoker so thats the term that i've come to learn for cigars, i dont know if their is a diffrent term for pipes, but anyways, I'm looking for something that will stay with me. I'm not afraid to try stronger blends or anything that you guys may recommend. Either that or could you give me types of tobacco that will have a longer finish. Thanks

Actually, quite a lot of the "classics" that are talked about a lot have long finishes... in particular, I had a bowl of Penzance yesterday that I was still tasting up until lunctime today, so ~20 hours of lingering. How's that for a long finish?

In my experience I would also agree with Penzance, and in addition I find that McClelland's Bulk 2020 Matured Cake (English), Esoterica Stonehaven (Burley-ish) and MacBaren Mixture #1 (Scottish) tend to hang with me for quite some time.
2020 tends to hang with a really citrusy note, Stonehaven with a dark, dark, dark caramel-bitter-chocolate-rum and MacBaren reminds me of over-ripe raisins.
Starting with a cigar analogy I'm not sure that these particular flavors are something you wnat lingering...but give them a try anway.

Balkans also tend to linger, try Compton's Macedonian or a good hearty English rich in orientals like the new GL Pease blend, Westminster.

more very good suggestions.

But I have to wonder, as with everything else tobacco, how much each individual person's body chemistry, diet, locale, altitude, barometric pressue, monpole flux gradient readings and wind direction will affect which tobacco does what for YOU
I'd be interested, nismo, if you find any of these to at the same as they did for others

Off the top of my head, the following come to mind that have long lasting finishes, at least for me:

Squadron Leader - Samuel Gawith
Balkan Sasieni - Sasieni
3 Noggins - Rattray
My Own Blend 7000
Royal Jersey Perique - Germain & Son
Odyssey - GL Pease
Penzance - GL Pease
Stonehaven - GL Pease
Edgeworth Sliced
And So To Bed - Esoterica
London Mixture - Dunhill
Nightcap - Dunhill
Royal Yacht - Dunhill
London Blend 1000 - Dan Tobacco
Pelican - Butera

These are what immediately come to mind!
