You had me worried! I thought you had more. By the way I am saving you some of the RDF that StevieB sent me for the next time you are down (and Covid free).

If I had answered before, it would have been different than now. And probably will be different tomorrow.
SG Kendal Cream Flake
SG BBF/Kendal Plug
SG 1792
GH Broken Flake #7
GH Ennerdale
Oops. Already five and I haven't left Cumbria.
Reiner LGF
MB ODF
Rattray Marlin Flake
Escudo
GLP Haddo's
And that’s ten without getting to C&D. Dagnabbit. Because cost, availability, and other reasons, daily smokes are often CD 3F, HB, and Pegasus, with Newminster 400, 403, and 701, and PS LNF, and ERR Match filling out the bill.
I miss the irreplaceable McClelland Darkstar and Velvan Plug, too.
If I go look at my shelves, I'll come back with a different list in a few minutes!

I haven't tried many, but my top 10 would be... MacBarren - Cube McClintock - Orange Dream Peterson - Sunset Breeze Holger Danske - Mango Orange Dunhill - Elizabethan Mixture Dunhill - Early Morning Pipe McClelland - Frog Morton Cellar Peterson - Connoisseur's choice Peterson - Nutty Cut Peterson - Irish Mixture Thanks qmechanics for another fine resurrection. I need to revise my list... In no particular order: Presbyterian Mixture Amphora Original Carter Hall SWRA Blood Red Moon Royal Jersey Rich Dark Flake St Bruno Flake Ennerdale flake Elizabethan Mixture This is a big change to that of 4 years ago, but I think those tobaccos listed were the only tobaccos I had back then. |

Germain Plumcake should be in the list, too. Yes, it's weird, but that's no deterrent for me. Top 25?

Presbyterian and Elizabethan are two mixtures that would come quite close to being in my top ten. All the blends listed here that I haven't tried remind me that we really do have a wealth of pipe tobaccos to choose from. |

I'd easily have a top 50, where a majority of those could swap for most of the top 10. We're fortunate for the variety we have today. Quick! Someone do a "10 Worst tobaccos" thread.

Oh, yeah, I'm not smoking Paladin again, either. There are plenty of tobaccos I don't care for, but few so bad I wouldn't smoke them if that's what I could get. And many good ones aren't available, but I consider myself fortunate to have what's out there now.

Ron,
I happen to be rehydrating some 2012 Frog Morton Cellar today. I burned myself out on it a bit back in 2013-14 but I sure do miss it now.

It almost turned me away from pipe smoking immediately. Thankfully I found this forum that same day. Then the accusation disorders started. |

Oh yes, Christmas Cheer. I don't think Mountains of Madness is available anymore; something to do with the unavailability of Turkish varietals. It's now Plateau of Leng - one of my favorites now, but it nearly put me off Latakia when I first took up the pipe |

Ron, I happen to be rehydrating some 2012 Frog Morton Cellar today. I burned myself out on it a bit back in 2013-14 but I sure do miss it now. I'm delaying popping another tin. Just think how good it'll taste when I do get around to it. |

I messed around with the Captain for a while before I found the Prince and Lat blends--that's how I learned to smoke. I can smoke aros now, but Paladin? Never again. |
