What are some "crap" pipe tobaccos to avoid?

[mooster]

I want YOUR opinion. Why is everyone so afraid to state their opinions here? I don't understand.

And I don't want opinions of what people think is good. The thread is specifically about what people think sucks. People are telling me my "question is wrong." It's my question!

C'mon, this ain't the SAT. Should be super easy. Or is 98% of pipe tobacco really good? Is that it? Can you just not f*ck up pipe tobacco? I ask for a list of crap pipe tobacco and everyone gives me stuff they like.

You think like a cigar smoker.


You have to understand that you're dealing with an entirely different culture here. Cigar smokes are a dime a dozen compared to the number of pipe smokers. The smaller the group, the less likely you're going to get people criticizing others in the group. So a pipe smoker is unlikely to criticize a tobacco if he knows people that smoke it. To use buzzwords, we're more inclusive, because we need all the help we can get!

We do have a token baccy that many of us abuse: Mixture No. 79. So if you want a list of baccys to avoid, I guess that one could go on the list. I'll go out on a limb and risk offending some of my BOTLs here and say that as far as I'm concerned, Sutliffe is to pipe tobacco what Victor Sinclair is to cigars. The problem with that is that there are plenty here who smoke Sutliffe tobacco and enjoy it, so it's just one man's opinion. There really aren't any readily recognized dog rocket equivalents.
