Aro Recommends?

[sparrowhawk]

Like our friend carburetor below, I need to explore some new horizons, this time in tobacco. I am an unapologetic fans of aros, mostly Trout Stream and Lane Q-1, but come to you asking for a SINGLE recommendation of a go-to non-aro tobacco, very mellow, not overwhelming in latikia and that other stuff for flavoring, and a nice room note that won't clear out the rats from the attic. Just one. Chances are I may have already tried it, but tastes changes with time, so those aren't out of the areana. Suggestions, gents?

1Q and BCA mixed at a 1:1 ratio. If you haven't tried it, you should.

Sutliff 507C Virginia Slices, delicious, just look at it :mrgreen:

Sillem's Black comes to mind. An English blend with aromatic Black Cavendish.

I obviously can't read as you were asking for a non-aro recommendation. Scrap my original reply and go with Wessex Campaign Dark Flake or McClelland's Boston 1776.

I've not heard of some of these--I'll have to make up a list...keep 'em coming, fellows!

Check out Shortcut to Mushrooms, or Whiskey Biscuit Gravy at Just For Him online. I really like those blends and the room note is great too.

newminster 400 superior navy flake, cheap bulk price, available everywhere online (usually) beautiful looking flake, and a charming smoke!

Bennington tobaccos Connoisseurs Choice. Good stuff

Well crap! I totally misread your post sparrowhawk. My recommendations are nice, but they are aros, or more of a crossover blend. I would recommend Peter Stokkebye's Luxury Twist for a non aro smoke. Nice flavor and has a decent room note.

 

[mortonbriar]

+1 on the luxury twist being a very nice smoke, ironically it is something I would recommend to a 'non-aro smoker' looking for an aromatic to try... I guess it is one of those blends that sits on the fence, either way it is a nice smoke and I have a couple of ounces due to arrive at my doorstep tomorrow, yippee!

Even though it's a new/reintroduced tobacco, my vote is for Peretti's #52 (Burley, Dubec, Virginia blend). I can't get enough of this. It's been my goto since I cracked the tin a couple weeks ago.

Peter Stokkebye Luxury Flake Series.

You'd have better luck tasting the tobacco licking the underside of a north Carolina goat than smoking any of the crap above.

Escudo, Haddos Delight, Presbyterian, Annie Cake, Dan's Midnight Rider, etc... It's a pretty vast genre. I thought that you used to do the tobacco taste pub walk things? Or, am I confusing someone else?
