I'd very much to see tobaccos make the "top-five" favorites for other ASPers.

For what is worth, here are mine:

1. Dunhill - Early Morning Pipe
2. Dunhill - Ready Rubbed
3. Sasieni - Balkan Sasieni
4. Imperial - St. Bruno
5. Erinmore - Erinmore Flake

I greatly enjoy sampling all kinds of tobacco, but I consistently return to these five.

"Five" isn't exactly my magic number.  Coniston Cut Plug starts my day, and Rum Flake is the usual follow-on.  These are indeed my staples.

Then things get varied.  Bosun Cut Plug, Dark Flake, straight Perique (as soon as replenishment arrives), Squadron Leader, Irish Brown Twist, Bob's Flake, Dark Bird's Eye, or perhaps even Escudo or Dark Strong Kentucky or something tinned by GLPease or bulk by Craig Tarler or...Oops seem to have forgotten Ennerdale Flake, the 50:50 mixture of Dunhill 965 and Nightcap that works so well in a meerschaum, the J.F. Germain tobaccos...well you get the idea.

Maybe I should switch to manufacturers:  Gawith, Hoggarth & Co.; Samuel Gawith & Co.; GLPease; J.F. Germain; Dunhill;  oops that's five already and Craig Tarler has yet to be mentioned.  So much for that idea!
