hey guys,
Things Ive learned since starting to smoke a month ago:
1: Duck your tongue. if your a fast smoker like me (came from cigars) tucking your tongue down and to the left seems to prevent the awful tongue burn.
2. Retrohaling- best way I found is to puff a good mouthful, exhale all breath out nose. inhale through nose, then exhale all through nose. once you figure it out it becomes routine, if you want..
3. Latakia I don't think there is enough!!!! LOL love that smokey heavy flavor.
4. Deertongue is your friend! Even though im a latakia freak deertongue seems to taste like good cigars.. My experience was pipe tobacco Crooner.. seems very similar to Perdomo lot 23 with a a little sweetness at end of bowl.
Again, Im a newb. but just my insights so far!

Prediction: Latakia will grow old soon, and you'll learn to love Virginia.

The journey is a long one, and its been common for your palate to become bored with certain flavours and you move on. Then as you go along and start to descern more flavours, you go back and forth.
Enjoy the ride! It seems like you are enjoying it so far!

I have access to a very limited selection of blends, but James Fox The Banker's Mixture is a nice blend with cigar leaf.

What? Ummmm... what? You said
Perdomo lot 23, but my immediate reaction was that you meant Black and Milds. :puffy: Lot 23 doesn't have a vanilla floavor, IMO.
I don't get vanilla from deertongue.
