There are a lot of great tobaccos. Mac Baren Navy Flake is my recommendation. BUT, since you like Williams so much, you might be a good candidate for all of the codger burley brands.
I am not a huge fan of aromatics but I do like Maclellands Townsman Cavendish Blue - it's maple flavoured and great. I also like Samuel Gawiths Firedance Flake.
The two I smoke most often are Stonehaven and Penzance - both from Esoterica - the latter is an English type with Latakia and it is lovely in every way. You should check out tobaccoreviews.com
Cheers,

+1 on the anti-aromatic sentiment.
I use to be a pipe smoker but now I'm strictly cigars.
Still if you're a pipe smoker you owe it to yourself to try or develop a taste for "English/Scottish blends of tobacco. It is an acquired taste for some but the flavors are very satisfying. Plus they go great with strong teas.

Hambourger Beermaster is a nice tobacco that I smoke on a regular basis.

I smoke a pipe very occasonally, but when I do, I prefer a nice Cavendish.

I only puff on the old pipe once in a blue moon, but I do enjoy the Daviof Blue blend.

Lately I've been smoking English Luxury I've been wanting to try some things that are a little stronger than the normal aromatics. After smoking cigars for a long time the pipe tobacco I had was too subtle for my pallet.
It would be unpatriotic of me not to mention my favourite :
Peterson's University Flake
I'm also very fond of 'Bald Headed Teacher' from 4noggins.com

hot damn. thanks fellas.
I smoke a pipe rarely, but I have one I like the most called Mahogany. It's a cherry flavored and comes from John B. Hayes, which I think is just a local tobacco shop. I'm a huge fan of the aromatics... they also have one that is "rasberries and cream" flavored. Yummy!
Does anyone know what it takes to flavor tobacco? Is it something I could do myself?

Half and Half, by gum! Whether in your cigarette or in your bowl/Burley and Bright soothes your soul...
Thought I'd join my brothers hobby as I'm convincing him to do wet shaving. Bought a nice English estate pipe, some Scottish mix and Westminster mix to go with it. Anyone able to tell me what a tamper is for?
Er...at the risk of sounding smart..for tamping down the tobacco.Particularly useful after the first light of a full bowl,the tobacco often 'blooms' up a bit when lit, so use your tamper to gently press it down..like shaving no pressure !
During the bowl you can occasionally give a light tamp down on the tobacco/ashes to aid even burning.
Czech pipe tool recommended - very cheap but excellent
Ah. Thanks crowdedhouse.
