For a large portion of pipe smokers out there, Virginia/Perique style blends are at the top of the totem pole. A middle of the road level, but still delicious mixture, is the Rattray's Old Gowrie blend. We say it is a good middle of the road mixture, a good place to start, because it has a medium bodied intensity and flavor, a simple recipe, and comes in an easy to rub and smoke broken flake.

Good tobacco
Calm and dry smoke but not strong.
