When I was in college 40 years ago I smoked a pipe.  The local tobacconist carried "Mayfair" which I liked.  I don't know if it was the type of tobacco or the brand of tobacco--I think it was the former.  I did an internet search but came up empty.  Any ideas or suggestions for pipe tobacco?

My local tobacconist has a house blend called "Balkan Express" that I love.

It's mostly Turkish tobacco, they recommended it when I told them I like Bolivar cigars.

Go to a local shop. See what you like the smell of. Try small amounts of different varieties. 

I'm partial to Pebblecut, which is a strait Virginia leaf. Relatively mild. No extra flavorings.

My dad and grandfather smoked a lot of cigars and pipes.  My grandmother would buy them tobacco when they had a store near her job off State Street in Chicago. 

This place had the best smell.  I know we are helping people quit smoking but when I smell a good cigar 1000 memories of my dad comes back to me.
