There are so many tobaccos these days, but the prices are outrageous if you go to a brick and mortar store that actually specializes in the good stuff, and those are usually cigar-focused places that just happen to carry a limited stock. The only thing good about them is you can but by the oz/gram and try a smaller bit. So, online shopping is the way to go. I've probably tried about 150 different ones. The only thing I'll never do is any of the flavored/aromatic ones (I learned my lesson in the early days). They smell good, taste bad, and they're too moist and gunk up your pipes. Pure Virginia tobacco smokes hot and is too sweet and plain for me. Gotta be Balkan or English.

G.L. Pease is one of the best companies these days. Their "Charing Cross" is one of my go-tos.
