Do you have any idea of the types of tobacco you like to smoke(e.g. Virginia, Burley, English, Aromatics)?

The P&C house brand is Hearth and Home. H&H is quality tobacco blended by Russ Oullette, but not all of them are going to be winners to everyone.

Regarding the sampler you posted, I have heard of them all but tried none. I agree with Shemp on checking out tabaccoreviews.com.

I would personally stay away from bulk tobacco at your local B&M unless they really specialize in pipes. I purchased some real duds from mine when I first started on the pipe. One was so bad I thought it tasted like urine.
