i Have noticed quite a few posts on tongue bite recently…… I will be the first to admit that I should not be a role model on this subject. I started out life stealing a pinch of my dad’s captain black, and yes, it could bite the Bajesus outta me. I learned (and not quickly) that I was a burley man. Grainger was a savior and soon Iearned to go with burley blends for maximum enjoyment. newer blends have been much kinder to me…..lat tobaccos were just ok , at best. I do love plum cake…… but it has a light lat kick . All this being said, I’ve spent hundreds of dollars trying to ” geT it right”. So, I have a few suggestions for newbies. I know not everyone likes aros but Lane bca is a perfect place to start. Boswell cannot be overstated. Haunted bookshop is very forgiving, as is billy budd blonde. The Cr‘eme de la crème for me was patton’s storm front. In short, there are plenty of blends for new smokers to try out……. You veterans feel free to add blends to this list. Happy smoking to all!
