It would help to know which aromatics. There is no one formula. The berry/ burly leaves my mouth dry with a slight twang on the tongue. I eat a butterscotch to get the moisture back up in my mouth. But, a Molto Dulce or Cassanova leaves me drooling for more.
Maybe aromatics aren't your thing, and that's ok. Lat blends give me more of a bad after taste. But, I give them a try over and over, trying to be open-minded. I keep wondering what am I missing. I gave Froggy across the Pond another whirl this morning. My coffee helped cut the tongue crust left from it, LOL :D

All the aro I've tried beginning with Captain Black - long ago; cherry flavored brands - again long ago. Most recently I've experimented with 1Q, BCA, Vanilla Custard, Cherry Smash, Pipeworks and Wilke #191 and their Maple Flavor (while watching the Red Sox whoop the Cardinals). Yup, I'm from Massachusetts.
I myself really dig the Lat aftertaste. It's like that of a good BBQ meal. Mmmmm BBQ!!

Then I prescribe more latakia for you. :D
There's no rule saying that you have to smoke the aros.
Do what's good for ya!

I've found sutliff to have pretty decent after taste. Strauss tobacco has a mint chocolate where the mint is a bit overpowering but the aftertaste will leave you minty and no bite what so ever
You might want to try some non-aromatic tobaccos that aren't Latakia or Perique blends either, to get a baseline
of what does not give you aftertaste. I agree, aftertaste is a deal breaker. You don't want it at all, and you don't
want it "with" your meals and beverages. Some of the plain Virginias, burley's, and non-aro Cavendishes might
be worth trying. Then you might experiment with mixing non-aftertaste tobaccos with others for a more complex
flavor. Just go easy, just one or two more at a time. Too many tend to give a hodge podge flavor. A home mix
of burley, Va, and Cavendish, in proportions to suit yourself, is often tasty. Good luck.

OK, I'm certain that you'll love PS Luxury Twist!!
I wouldn't call it a full on aromatic, but people around me tend to compliment it. And, the taste goes well with what you've listed, IMO.

Since I suffer from the same affliction as Dafydd, I can report that Low Country Santee (apple flavor), and to a lesser extent, Peterson University Flake (berry flavor) do not create what I call the plastic-like aftertaste. Another blend that works for me is from Wm. Serad's Hebraica Series blended by C&D, Halav U Dvash (Milk & Honey). And I have to endorse cosmic's recommendation of LTF -- good choice!
Interesting reactions to aros here. Underscores the wild variety of taste buds we have and makes me less apt to recommend anything I might like. I was going to suggest the adding of a bit of Carter Hall to the aro, but your stated preference for the latakia rather nullified that suggestion.
As they say, "Go figure..." I would say, "Just keep sampling to find out what suits you best." That's what the renewal of my pipe smoking fascination has shown me.

dafydd, it is obviously time to dump the aromatics. I dabbled in them and found that will a metallic taste on some of them, they also dried my mouth something fierce. You could very well have a body chemistry issue with PG as I do.
