It sounds like you ghosted your pipe with the English blend which is screwing with the flavors of your aromatics. This is why many of us dedicate our pipes to either certain genres of tobacco or specific blends. I have my Va, Vaper and Vabur flake and plug pipes and I also have some aromatic pipes.
I don't smoke English blends anymore but if I did I would dedicate pipes to them. Try smoking your aromatics out of a different pipe to see if that is the issue.

If is not a ghost issue then it could be a dirty pipe one. Do you clean your pipes after every smoke and what is your method?
Virginia only; Virginia-Perique; and Virginia-Burley. Somewhere in the forums, Harris produced a list, which is a valuable compilation of blends to explore.
I'd diffidently suggest not smoking different genres back to back. I'm highly theorising here, but I'm thinking whether the chemical remains of the English blended with the chemicals in the aro and yielded a bitter tasting compound.
I say 'diffidently' because I am a one bowl per day bloke. By next day any aftertaste is gone and haven't noticed any bitterness.
You might also try washing your mouth between changes of genre if you're decided to smoke a variety on the same day, or drink/eat something that will wash away the remnants of the previous smoke.

Aros appear to be a, er, well, blend of virginia, black cavendish (which is burley-based, except for MacBaren's 'modern cavendish' which is VA-based), and, yes, burley, plus casings and toppings. Some aros also have latakia.
There's also the chance that it might have been something else: something you ate, weather, what have you.
I'd switch to a different blend or blends, and chug on.
