A Better Pipe Smoking Community

Mine is going to be pretty run of the mill:

Half and Half
Walnut
Carter Hall
MacB Navy Flake
Dunhill Early Morning Pipe

I love em though.

My 5 this week (This is not as easy as it looks)

Solani Silver Flake
Solani 633
SG FVF
C&D Burley Flake #2
GLP Maltese Falcon

It's winter, so they're fuller than usual:

Boswell Northwoods
Stokkebye Navy Flake
S&G Balkan Flake
McClelland's St. James Woods
Peterson's Irish Flake

Summertime here so it's mainly Va blends (I save the English & variants for winter, when it becomes a lat fest). This is currently what I have open & am dipping into daily AND rate as the Top 5:

SG Full Virginia Flake
Orlik Golden Sliced
McConnell Scottish Cake
Hamborger Veermaster
Rattray's Old Gowrie

McConnell Scottish Cake & Hamborger Veermaster are from my Try-It list. I'm really enjoying these two & will be ordering more.

If you asked what my top 30 were, then maybe.

In order of importance -

Briar and Bean - Gentleman Jack
C&D - Captain Bob's Blend (although I am out)
C&D - Pipe Dreams
Unknown - English Oriental (bulk blend at Briar and Bean but I doubt they make it)
McClelland Red Cake

Those would be:

Prince Albert
Carter Hall
Edgeworth Ready Rubbed
McClelland 5125
Peretti's 333

based on the last month or so (the OGS reserve is very low, so last month I haven't smoked it much, but it's always a favorite)

TF Heritage
C&D Red Carpet
Dunhill My Mixture 965
SG Squadron Leader
GH Rum Flake

Penzance, Black Mallory, Balkan Supreme or Saseni, Black Watch and Westminster but who's counting......Charring Cross, PS Proper English, Engine 99, etc, etc, etc. and then there is always the jar of whatever is left over and all mixed up. In my case it's a mixture of all McClelland areros that contain nuts, chocolate, pastry and coffee (my local bakery) varieties. Sorry Captain if I just screwed up the count. I'm like the mouse. Just five choices is too tough a call for this guy.

for a guy who only smokes one tobacco... :)
Obviously:
McC 2015
McC St James Woods
McC dark Star
McC 2010
Escudo (the orginal version).
Ashtons Black Parrot was a great smoke but I cannot get it anymore... :(

Don’t have a lot on hand and I’m still finding new favorites every time I try a new tobacco.
Windy City Blend (local B&M)
London Bridge
Frog Morton on the Town
Frog Morton on the Bayou
Plumcake
And whatever else I have opened

All C&D blends for me...

OJK
Morleys Best
Miss. Mud
Epiphany
Billy Bud

Prince Albert
Peter Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake
Peter Stokkebye Luxury Twist Flake
MacBaren Vanilla Creme
Kentucky Club Mixture

... and, all great choices of tobacco, too! We have some very refined pipe smoker's in this crowd. I am so very proud of all of us all! Perhaps there will be even more responses over the next few days.

Thank you for the fantastic response. It is wonderful to see what everybody is enjoying.

Yours truly,
Captain Bob (the skier!)

This is close to what my list has looked like for 20+ years the big exception is I have replaced a lot of my consumption of the bulk EMP with AMP and I have cut way back on smoking the CA which doesn't bother my wife at all.
1. EMP(bulk) 40% of the time (aprox.)
2. McC AM Pipe(bulk) 30%
3. 1Q or Dunhill MM A21,000(bulk) 20%
4. My Own Mixture (5:1, cedar aged) PS Balkan Supreme/Cigar 5%
5. Crown Achievement (bulk) 5%

... nice pic.
