If you enjoy vanilla aromatics, you may want to give Boswell's "Boswell's Best" blend a try. It's always a pleasant smoke and, for me at least, never turns into a goopy mess.
An Aromatic I Enjoy!!

The Country Squire has recently sent me down an aromatic rabbit hole in my tastes that I'm not entirely sure I'll emerge from. Its allowed me to utilize words like 'pleasant' and 'nice' when describing what I'm smoking. "I'm out there Jerry and I'm lovin every minute of it!"
Lane's LL-7 deserves some mention, in my very biased opinion. Absolutely excellent taste that never leaves me wanting when smoking a bowl.
I will also mention Sutliff's Creme Brulee. Downright the only blend I will retrohale from start to finish about as easily as breathing, because the retro is so darn good. Also in my very biased opinion.

Look it up on Tobacco Reviews | Search Tobaccos and see what others suggested. That site also has an Advanced Search, where you can specify which components and flavorings you want, and it generates a list.
For the cheap crap, maybe. But not the good stuff, in my opinion. The Wilke maple is an example. Cult Blood Red Moon smells like smashed sweet Maraschino cherries, but smokes/tastes far different, with really nice cavendish, virginia and burley tobacco at the fore (and the room note might get you some tickles).A simple rule..... the sweeter it smells, the worse it tastes.
Smoking a pipe of this right now and it is really good. Would disagree that it is like every other aro... Not goopy or heavy at all. Does a really nice job of giving you the flavors of the tobacco along with a touch of the vanilla. The majority of aros fail at this. This is definitely going into my circulation.
Love aromatics that aren't moist or goopy that can be smoked straight from the bulk bag; 1Q, 4noggins Covered Bridges are two that come to mind but my favourite no-fuss bulk is Peter Stokkebye Nougat.
If you haven't tried it you might want to get an once of Lane TK6. Pretty good for an aromatic.
Yes that's just one of many blends I'd like to try since I quite like Lanes 1Q.If you haven't tried it you might want to get an once of Lane TK6. Pretty good for an aromatic.
The thing is that I have to 'run the gauntlet' with Customs [My last 2lb order was just intercepted
] It's for that reason alone that I mostly stick to the blends that I really like [not to mention the fact that 4noggins is about the last U.S. tobacconist who still ships to Australia and they have a rather limited range compared to my preferred tobacconist, TobaccoPipes]
I’m deep in Rum and Maple from Wilke. Old Toby from The Country Squire got me for a pound at least. BlackBerry Winter from Ted’s Pipe Shoppe in Tulsa is one of my favorites too.
Hey, I know Ted’s! I used to live in Muskogee and that’s where I got all my tobacco when I was getting started. Is it still open?
I don’t live in Tulsa but traveled there occasionally for business. As far as I know, they are. Ted passed away some time ago and Marc Clymer took it over. They do not have a web presence so I call them to order 918-742-4996.
Yeah. Never cared for aromatics. But Capt Black Royal was very nice. Ordered some more and added Capt Black Dark to try.
I'll second Boswell's Christmas Cookie.
I smoke VA and Lat, and pull out aros only on special social occasions to delight those around me.
I've tried every aromatic that Boswell has blended (I think), and whatever else I might say for some of the others, Christmas Cookie is the one I keep around.
Do they often just open random packages chopper? Sorry to hear your package was nabbed. When I hear stuff like that I get really pissed off. LolYes that's just one of many blends I'd like to try since I quite like Lanes 1Q.

Thanks mate. It's one of those things that I try not to let upset me because there's nothing much a bloke can do other than to try and get around the outrageous taxes [A 50g tin is now $140 would you believe?]
Losing a $200aud order [postage is $80aud since USPS stopped processing standard parcels to Oz] is just part of 'playing the game'.
I've got around 40lb in my stash so I'm much better off that most Aussie pipe smokers.
I've often wondered that myself Gervais.
Before the laws changed in June 2019, 1 in 4 or 5 bulk tobacco orders would be intercepted.
[Tinned tobacco was intercepted at least every 3rd order - the metal tins are most likely the reason why they're detected more frequently]
So it would appear that they're only able to closely inspect every 4th or 5th cargo load from the U.S.
Luck would also play into it. Tracking shows that some parcels are 'Ready for delivery' just 24-48 hours after landing in Oz while other orders can linger at the airport for a couple of weeks before they're passed onto the courier.
My last order that was pinched sat 'waiting at cus-toms for inspection' for over a month before it was inspected which suggests to me that they've still got a staffing shortage,
I've just made another order using a mates name and address - 1lb Peter Stokkebye Nougat and 1lb Sutliff Sunrise [Early Morning Pipe Match]
Fingers crossed . . . .

Revelation was so popular in the day among men that Masterpiece came out to compete with it, using Burley, Virginia, Turkish, Latakia and Perique, and lots of flavorings that taste and smell good.
Heavy on the Buuuuurley, Dahhhling.
If it’s good enough for Eva…
I’ve never heard of Masterpiece. Does anyone know of a knock-off imitation?
Now Epiphany I’ve smoked, though I don’t believe I’ve ventured to inhale it.
One of the few aromatics I really enjoy is Stokkebye's Nougat which happens to be the same blend smoked in the LOTR films!
