I just can’t seem to taste aro’s any longer. I started out with aro’s as many have and kept purchasing every scrumptious aro tobacco that sounded good or interesting. Eventually I got a tad bored and wanted to try out some non-aro’s . Not any Latakia blends as I can’t stomach the smell of it much less its taste, but some of the Va’s and VaPer’s . Now keep in mind that I’ve been a cigarette smoker for 50 plus years so that may account for something and maybe I have the taste buds of 40 grit sandpaper when it comes to tobacco. I’ve never been able to detect all of the nuances that some can while smoking any given tobacco, but at first I was able to least detect some notable taste be it pleasant or not with the aro’s
When I delved into the non-aro’s it seemed like a totally new world and I could, for once, actually taste something more discernible and more pleasant, but again, not always enjoyable depending upon the particular tobacco I was trying, but be that as it may. As said, at first the aro’s were pleasant, but nothing to knock my socks off. I only, at this time, smoke about two bowls a day, and sometimes three on rare occasions. To name a few of the non-aro’s which I really enjoy and that I’ve been smoking, although I’m leaving out the ones I’m not all that crazy about are: OGS, PSLBF, Capstan Yellow, Escudo, Wessex BCDF (love it), just to name a few. However, now when I fill a bowl up with i.e., 1-Q, RLP-6, Wilke 191, Boswell’s Christmas Cookie & Berry Cobbler , Molto Dolce, which at first I enjoyed I now feel as though I’m simply blowing out smoke with absolutely NO taste whatsoever! Strange, but I still enjoy Boswell’s Pennsylvania Dutch Treat with it’s very pleasing cherry taste, although it is not touted as a cherry tobacco... go figure?
Shit... my apology as I’m going on way too much and here is the bottom line.
Keeping into consideration that I still smoke cigarettes (yes, I’m trying to quit, or at least cut down drastically) and that I only average about two bowls a day what is your consensus?
Should I give pipe smoking a rest for a few days… longer?
Give up on aro’s and only smoke non-aro’s?
Stop aro’s and revisit them at a later date?
Purchase a bubble pipe with a good stock of bubble solution and move to Bora Bora with Penelope Cruz?
Please, don’t recommend the later as the last time Penelope was over we had a terrible argument and I kicked her sorry ass out.
