Pretty darn good advice.
All of the suggestions above are excellent. If you want to get wild and try flake tobacco, 100g of Rattray's Marlin Flake (JR's $12 - cavendish, virginia and perique)) is easy on the wallet and easy to enjoy - dark and mellow. On the other side of the field, lighter and piquant, is the always-available Macbaren's Navy Flake (virginia/burley).
There are many spectacular virginia (and virginia blended) flakes but some are more challenging than others to handle. I mention the two above for landmark smoking character, easy availability and easy flake intro.
