Ok, here's what I'm looking for

A mild smoke (low nicotine) with flavor.

Come on, they can do it with cigars, they've just got to be able to do it with pipe tobacco.


I just don't need that huge nicotine kick.

Blech.

When I'm looking for a mild smoke I go with my own style of Half and Half.

1 part AAA White Burley
1 part Bright Virginia

Just a suggestion, but it works for me!

I find McClelland Arcadia mild yet great flavors. It is an English Oriental.

For a Cavandish the Nat Sherman 307 I have tried is also quite mild. Burley Based.

A sweet VA that's just a step up from mild is Orlik Golden Sliced. It is a Flake Tobacco. It's hard to find a VA that is low in Nicotine but this one isn't all that strong.

Mild is not my thing and there are very few tobaccos I have in my cellar that I have kept that are. These three have made it a few years for the flavor alone.
