Im new to the hobby so be gentle. been trying out just about everything i can get my hands on. Lots of trips to my local B&M and smokingpipes purchases. Thank goodness for bulk tobacco! been trying mainly aromatics but also quite a few red virginias. i purchased a tin of Plum Pudding as everyone seems to rave about it. i had never tried a Balkan before. i opened the tin and was hit w a smell that ive never experienced before. spicy/smoking/almost mesquite. honestly it gave me a headache and not even sure how im going to even smoke this tin. Is this the Latakia im smelling? trying to understand what it is i dont like so i can avoid it in future blind purchases. Thanks in advance!
