To choose from that were available, what two would you not want to do without?
These two cover all the bases for me:
John Patton’s Storm Front
&
John Patton’s Crossroads
With my two choices I can create a third blend which smokes outstanding: Storm Front 75% to Crossroads 25%. I know 4 pipe smokers that are now addicted and really enjoy this blend.

Good question. Since I've limited samples to choose from I'd go with an aromatic and a non-aromatic (clever, huh?)
I'd go macbaren cube and dunhill emp.
I think I could cope OK with them.

I would go with a light English blend and a Virginia flake. So Early Morning Pipe and Astley's No. 44 for me.

Impossible!  Ask again next month and get a different answer but, for now ... 1. Solani Aged Burley Flake 2. Motzek Strang |

Glad I have a few tins. Best Burley Flake on the market today 👍👍👍. Motzek Strang...expensive...hard to also get at times. Happens too be two of my all time favorites!!! |

Unless I'm misunderstanding, "available" would rule out quite a few great ones. Of those still readily available, my choices would be OGS and Uhle's #300. It wouldn't be as much fun; however, I could probably slide on those two and my cobs, no worries.

Impossible! Ask again next month and get a different answer but, for now ... That goes for me too! Currently, I'm enamored with Lakeland and burley blends, so I'll go with: - GH Bosun Cut Plug, and
- C&D Billy Budd Blonde.

One of mine would be McClellands Beacon Extra, but I will discount that choice, since I only have eight tins to last me till the end of my days. And Wilke #10 is also no longer available. Out of the stuff I currently smoke, that is still being made I would choose:
Samuel Gawith St. James Flake
Kramer's Father Dempsey

This is always a tough question for me, because I enjoy a number of pipe tobacco blends. However, if it came down to two only, I think it would be the following blends: John Patton's Bald Headed Teacher and H&H Anniversary Kake |

Tudor Castle and Half & Half. I have enough of both to last me the rest of my life.
