What are some "crap" pipe tobaccos to avoid?

[Ropey]

And please, when people take the time to respond don't tell them how to do it.

I would never tell people how to respond to my question, as long as they're actually responding to my question You see?

I guess what confuses me so much is that there don't seem to be any generally recognized crap pipe tobaccos. Which, to me, is mind-blowing.

I've been, in my life, on so many hobby forums that I can't even remember them all.. from cars to guns to knives to fancy flashlights to cell phones to whiskies to coffee to watches... you name the hobby and I guarantee I've discussed it ad nauseum.

And, out of all those hobbies, there have always -- and I mean always -- been brands or lines or categories or whatever that the "community" generally recognizes as crap. "Noob bait." The stuff that noobs get suckered into buying that's actually considered sh*tty by people who have lots of experience. Such as, let's say, Gurkha cigars. Or Invicta watches. Or Smith and Wesson knives. Or Hi-Point guns. That sort of thing.

So to hear that there is no such general consensus about what sucks in the pipe world is beyond bizarre to me.

The thing about a "general consensus" is that not everyone is going to agree. Some people love their Invicta watches. That's great. Agreement is not necessary, but I wanted people to shout out their opinions in this thread so I could get an overarching view of the landscape.

And either there is truly no bad pipe tobacco (except for mixture 79), OR everyone is deathly afraid of offending anyone else. If the latter is the case, you're going to want to put me on your ignore list pronto because at the end of the day I hit the big red 'X' in the corner of the screen and this place disappears. It's all just words on a screen to me.
