Hey Vince,

There is always more to learn as well, part of the extreem pleasure of our
hobby/obsession ;-p

Don't feel bad, my very first smoke was Paladin Black Cherry, sometimes I'm
tempted to buy a pouch, just to revisit it after all these years, then
reason kicks in.

You mentioned being on a limited budget, most of us are on some sort of
budget. This does NOT mean you have to settle for inferior grade tobacco!
No No NO! Many of us can provide you with extensive lists of economical
first class tobaccos. The most economical way to smoke by far is so called
"bulk blends" as opposed to buying tins. Some places to start:

If you need personal recommendations, just ask, you'll soon have a list so
long you will have to ask where to start ;-p
