Pipe tobaccos - rarity sometimes notwithstanding - are all pretty cheap, particularly when comparing them to cigars. Even more expensive blends are pretty damn cheap. There is really no way to make a quorum or hesitant pirate level of pipe tobacco that is THAT much cheaper than something by Samuel Gawith. The only "bad" pipe tobaccos that I can think of are RYO tobaccos masquerading as pipe tobacco.
