What are some "crap" pipe tobaccos to avoid?

[Ropey]

So in review, there is no "Ghurka" or "5 Vegas" of the pipe world IMO. Sure, companies may make a blend or two that I don't care for, but the bulk of their blends are really great so 1 or 3 outliers doesn't spoil the brand for me.

That's pretty damn fascinating I gotta say. Guess I won't worry about spending a couple hundred bucks on unsmokable crap that winds up in the trash then, which is what happened in my first month of cigar smoking.

Good: most Navy flakes, C&D Pirate Kake, Dunhill 965, Sutliff Sweet Virginia
Bad: OTC, most stuff you see in big jars at the B&M, blends that are predominantly cavendish.

It is cavendish itself that's the problem, or the way it's implemented in the blends?

I think people would be more willing to answer something that's personal to them, rather than saying categorically that something sucks.

Hehe I have no problem saying that stuff sucks, even when it's my opinion. I assume people realize that it's my opinion and they can take it or leave it.
