Aromatics and Non's?

This is an extraordinarily naive question, so please don't throw things at me; I'm still a newbie, despite being called "member." Quite simply, how do the non-aromatics differ from the aromatics, besides being minus the tongue-biting sweeteners? And of the non-aromatics, which would you recommend for coolness and ease of puffing as well as flavor? I've tried Carter Hall, which turned out to be a pleasant enough smoke, but based on what I hear on the forum there are dozens more. Currently I have shipping, on recommendation, Sutliff's Black Swan, Navigator, and Maple Street (the latter which I tried before and smoked without devastating consequences to my taste buds; it was a nice smoke). But what are generally judged the best? Also, if I might ask, limit your choices to a couple, difficult as I know it is, but I can only try a limited number at a time. Thanks!

As always, thank you gentlemen. I have heard of most of these brands many times before, but it's nice to have them laid out as the tobaccos to try; I have written them all on a list for my next order. Expanding my horizons, as Roth puts it, is exactly what I'm attempting to do here, as a start. There are far too many excellent tobaccos to let go by, aromatic or not, without trying them. Else, what's the use of an excellent pipe? If I may add one (Jud can give you more authoritative info about it), a little shop called Hill and Hill sells an excellent bulk tobacco I believe was called "Haymaker." It went down smooth and cool and puffed nicely (that seems a problem with me with the heavy aromantics, of which Molto Dolce is my favorite--the aroma is intoxicating). In my last order, I ordered some McClellan Christmas Cheer, which I will try not to open before the holidays. By the way, any thoughts on Navigator, Black Swan, and Maple Street? Are they aro's? Maple Street, despite being flavored with maple and rum, didn't strike me as a heavy aromatic. I ordered these last time; I expect them tomorrow; just looking for informed opinions.

Thank you for that tip. I've often wondered about tobacco flakes. Before long, I'm sure I will give it a whirl. (Nice family!)
