Best examples of the main components of pipe tobacco

Fairly new to pipes and would like to develop an appreciation of what the major types of tobacco taste like and be able to diffentiate them in various blends. I welcome any input on which brands/blends best represent the main types of tobacco and components. My plan is to smoke each type exclusively for a while to zero in on the taste.

Which brand/blend would be the best example to get a good idea of what each should taste like-

Straight Virginia:
Perique:
Va/per:
Burley:
Latakia:
English:
Oriental:

Thanks for your help.

Maybe I already have some:the blends I currently have are Dunhill Mixture 965, Nightcap, Frog Morton on the Town, MacBaren Navy Flake, McClelland 5100, Lane 1Q (and some aromatics from an Altadis sampler that I'm staying away from for now).
