At a very beginner level, that is. It's actually really exciting, until the past month or two, the tobaccos i've smoked have just been aro's or whatever mixtures of tobaccos to make a blend. I finally bought an English/Latakia mixture (Brebbia) a month or two ago and got my first taste of latakia. I've recently discovered, or I think I have, what the perique is in that blend. I have also recently discovered what Burley is and what it tastes like (half and half, and I just opened a tin of Astley's matured dark virginia and tried it. Now I have a good idea of what the virginias in the past blends i've tried have more specifically been. I now know my opinions of blends can quickly change, so i'm not going to review the astelys, but I think if thats what most virginias can generally taste like, I'm not the hugest virginia fan for a regular smoking basis, because I recognize the taste in the other blends i've tried. Its fun, its like i'm narrowing down tobaccos to what kinds I actually prefer so I can more accurately pick what tobaccos to buy and try, ones I think i'll like. Unfortunately it comes at some cost, for instance if I continue to not really like the Astleys, i'll have almost a full tin of a tobacco i'm not a big fan of. I could always do a swap with someone maybe.
Anyways, its just cool to finally start being able to tell what the different tobaccos in a blend taste like. Long ways to go to specifically detect different flavours and aromas, but its a journey I guess, haha.
