Most Expensive Pipe Tobaccos
Well, most expensive on pipesandcigars.com.
 So I was poking my way through the inner nets and looking around for a really expensive blend to try out. I was surprised to find that most blends were around $10 for a 50oz tin, about 1.75 or 1.76 ounces. They really ranged from $8 to $12. Well that got me wondering, as I lit up my first bowl of McConnell's Scottish Cake, what the most expensive pipe tobaccos in the world are. Couldn't find a list online so I compiled one myself. 1 Dunhill Deluxe Navy Rolls $14.33 Va/Per 2 Heath & Home Landmark Hall of Fame $13.99 Aromatic 2 Heath & Home Landmark Latham Circle $13.99 Aromatic 2 Heath & Home Landmark Manor Heights $13.99 Aromatic 2 Heath & Home Landmark Mohawk River $13.99 Aromatic 2 Heath & Home Landmark Old Kinderhook $13.99 Aromatic 2 Heath & Home Landmark Patroon Island $13.99 Aromatic 2 Heath & Home Landmark Saratoga Summer $13.99 Aromatic 2 Heath & Home Landmark Stockade $13.99 Aromatic 2 Heath & Home Landmark Sycaway $13.99 Aromatic 2 Heath & Home Landmark Vischer Ferry $13.99 Aromatic 12 Davidoff Flake Medallions $13.89 Va/Per 13 McConnell Latakia Flake $13.65 English 13 McConnell Scottish Flake $13.65 Virginia 15 McConnell Pure Caribe $13.10 Cigar Leaf 15 McConnell Pure Latakia $13.10 Latakia 15 McConnell Pure Perique $13.10 Perique 18 Vauen 160 Year Anniversary $12.71 Va + Cinnamon 19 McConnell Black & Gold $12.38 Aromatic 19 McConnell Glen Piper $12.38 Oriental 19 McConnell Maduro $12.38 Virginia 19 McConnell Oriental $12.38 Scottish 19 McConnell Red Virginia $12.38 Aromatic 19 McConnell Rich, Dark Virginia $12.38 Aromatic 19 McConnell Ripe Honeydew $12.38 Aromatic 19 McConnell Scottish Blend $12.38 Va/Per 19 McConnell Scottish Cake $12.38 Virginia 19 McConnell Special London Mature $12.38 Virginia 19 McConnell Special London Mild $12.38 Virginia 30 Davidoff Danish Mixture $11.98 Danish 30 Davidoff English Mixture $11.98 English 30 Davidoff Royalty Mixture $11.98 English 30 Davidoff Scottish Mixture $11.98 Aromatic 34 Vauen Exotic # 10 $11.90 Black Cav + Va 34 Planta Original Danish $11.90 Danish And for those curious: Aromatics 15 Black Cav 1 Cigar Leaf 1 Danish 2 English 3 Latakia 1 Oriental 1 Perique 1 Scottish 1 Virginia 6 Va/Per 3 Or by Dominant Note: Aromatic 15 Black Cav 1 Danish 2 Latakia 6 Pure Leaf 4 Va/Per 3 +++ Now, being a newbie pipe smoker, this raised some questions that I will head over to the "Ask an Old Fart" thread and ask now. However, here is my initial observation: The most expensive pipe tobacco in the world costs $14.33 for a 50g tin. A bowl is between 3 and 5 grams. Therefore, each tin will give between 10 and 17 bowls. Each of those bowls cost $.86 to $1.43. Therefore, to smoke the Pipe Equivalent of a Padron Anniversary 1926 80 Years or Opus X would be like smoking those for less than a buck a stick to a buck forty-three a stick. And my friends wonder why one of my New Year's Resolutions was "Smoke more pipe." They wonder this while I share my pipe tobacco with them and they jealously guard their cigars.
