Samuel Gawith - Full Virginia Flake
Samuel Gawith - 1792 Flake
Rattray's - 3 Noggins
Tavern Tobacco - Thunder Road
G.L. Pease - Abington
G.L. Pease Charring Cross
Dan Tobacco - Midnight Ride
Cornell & Diehl - Mississippi Mud
Cornell & Diehl - Briar Fox
Butera - Kingfisher
McClelland - Dominican Glory Maduro

Hey, Johnnny!!! Good to see you. I agree 100%, you have been trying some very, very light tobaccos. Of course, if you are smoking your pipe after a heavy cigar, then you aren't going to taste much.

I like a number of the blends on this list.

Thanks for your recommendations, Johnny. I'm glad to hear that there is more life to many tobaccos than I've experienced so far. I'll definitely try some of your recommended tobaccos (and some of RevSmoke's blends from another thread)!

Just in case you may not be aware of the tobacco review site, which should be a big help in finding blends that you like, here it is:
