I revisited pipe smoking about two years ago and did Aros for about a year and a half; tries Englishes and didn't like them. Got me some Luxury Navy Flake and found out I liked VaPers and flakes in particular; I like having extra steps in the ritual, and is also why cigars now bore me.
In my last TAD order, I intended to get some Altadis Blue Note, recommended to me by a forum member, but smokingpipes was out, so randomly picked Altadis Fox & Hound, solely because it sounded British. Most of you know it's an English mix of Virginia, Burley, Latakia and Perique, and I loved it. No sweetness, just blended tobacco, kind of an 'around the campfire after fishing with your buddies all day' kind of thing.
Today my brother-in-law brought over a few bowls of RLP-6, which I like better than 1-Q, because for me it is less mild and has more flavor. I traded some Fox & Hound and thoroughly enjoyed the Lane's Aro. Though I now prefer VaPers or Englishes, there's definitely still a place in my rotation for a good Aro.
I love this journey. Those folks that say smoking weed is a gateway drug to heroin may be on to something! Smoke a bowl of 1-Q, and you'll be mainlining Irish Flake within six months. As always, your mileage will vary.
Puff on, briar bros!
