We are some hateful giving bastids at this site . In order to make the hate giving easier [ and to make more satisfaction ] , I think we should have a general idea of what it is we like and dont like . Id drop the ball if I sent someone a bunch of Cherry Aromatic if they generally smoked heavy English , as an example .I now we can get an idea reading the ways threads and comments in general but that requires memory and paying attention ... so lets make a reference thread here

Ill go first to show you what I mean

I mainly smoke English (London Mixture was my favourite, getting the same feel for No. 10 Mixture now), mostly the Dunhills, and a few SG (Squadron, Skiff etc.).
1792 on occasion, not too often.
Some virginias, BBF and FVF.
Most Balkans.
Like St Bruno and Condor occasionally too. (Used to love Carey's Bruno Special RIP 💔)
I did used to smoke MB Original Choice, a fair bit, but it seems to have fallen victim to the Brexit baccy famine.
Blondes. (same for beer.)

Dislikes, mostly heavily cased aromatics, in the past, purely as I used to get bite from them more. I'm going to try a few more this time around though, ease my way into them.
Politics etc., the news.

I'm always surprised that you don't like the Hearth & Home stuff since 99% of it is manufactured by your boys at Sutliff. Normally enjoyment carries across a manufacturers offerings, at least for me. I like C&D's stuff so it carries across GLP, Drucquer, etc etc

My likes are pretty simple:

Low Country Vanilla is my favorite, but I also like all of the LC light aros. Their cherry isn't light...whew...but after I cut it with a load of LC Vanilla, it's quite good too.

I like Burley forward OTCs like SWA, SWRA, Prince Albert, and I'm really diggin' D&R's Two Timer. Love me some Amsterdam Shag, but won't pay for it. 😆 Enjoy a bit of Turkish tobacco mixed with anything

Not a huge fan of Englishes, though I do enjoy a bowl of John Bull occasionally in the fall and winter. Don't care for perique that much. Not really a VA fan either, unless it's in a good VaBur

Im real easy.
Anything except blends with a LOT og Perique.
Perique is a condiment, not the main player.....in my opinion. :)
My favorites are straight Virginia and heavy Lat/Oriental blends. But I smoke it all....sometimes in the same day.
And none of that sissy "Latakia is only for cold months" crapola. Ill huff some straight Lat on a 90 degree day.

I'm simple.

Likes:
Nearly all tobacco I've tried. Granted, I haven't liked all of them equally.
Dr. Grabows especially.
Coffee with my tobacco. Tea does well, too.
Places that allow smoking indoors.
Lots of smoke.

Dislikes:
Small or dainty pipes.
Overly artistic or strangely shaped pipes.
Tobacco stores carrying cheap pipes made by people who care nothing about pipes (Fuji or something like that?).
Vaping.
Heavy Latakia blends in summer. Sorry for the crapola. ;)
The general anti-smoking culture and other haters of freedom.


I'm sure there's more I could say. As far as liking most every tobacco I've tried... It's not that there are blends that I wouldn't actively seek out. I could name a few that I wouldn't really care to smoke ever again. However, I haven't tried a tobacco yet that I instantly hated.
