Im still an extreme noob, but I do enjoy the Escudo navy deluxe and Lane rlp-6

Try this place...http://www.tobaccoreviews.com/

I don't know of any online shops that give out samples...Most local B&Ms let you sample their bulk stuff. I'd recommend Haunted Bookshop or Chelsea Morning for a newbie to pipes. Both are mild but flavorful.

get yourself a couple corncobs for learning with then find a good tobacconist and ask questions. they are more than happy to help a newbie find something to smoke.

then after he helps you, GO BACK to him regulary and buy from him. i am not telling you to buy everything from him, just help support him for helping YOU.
