Lane 1Q is a very affordable bulk blend that has a mild vanilla flavor. It is the best selling bulk tobacco in the world (so they claim) and for good reason. It is great stuff. You can get it for a couple dollars an ounce.

With you liking naturally sweet cigars, Virginia blends may be right up your alley. I've got some Red Cake on the way I'm going to put a year or so on and see how it is.

Also don't underestimate a corn cob pipe. They're great.

You have good taste in cigars BTW. The AF SS is one of my favorites as well.
