Wow!
Just a couple of days ago, in another post, I was complaining that "Codger Blends" burned well, but tasted bland. I've been keeping Prince Albert on hand because it has nicotine and doesn't bite me, but I can't say I've actually enjoyed it.
Until this morning. I lit a bowl this morning, actually one I'd packed last night and forgotten, and I really started to taste a nutty, almost sweet flavor. Nothing like an aromatic, just a mild flavor that I'd never detected before.
I assume that A) I'm getting better at my puffing technique, B) my palate is becoming more "sophisticated," and C) the aromatics I normally smoke first thing have been affecting my ability to detect subtle flavors.
I think I'm going to keep the aromatics on the shelf today and see if can get more flavor from my three Burley blends, PA, Velvet and Half and Half.
