Aromatic Haters Top 5 Aromatics

[perdurabo]

Aromatic Tobacco? No, they do not find their way in my pipe very often. But when they do, there's beginning to be quite a few that I like. They tend to do the job of resetting my palate.
1. Golden Days of Yore- Cornell &Diehl

2. Ennerdale- Gawith,Hoggarth&Co

3. 1792Flake- Samuel Gawith

4. ChocolateFlake- Samuel Gawith

5. GrasmereFlake- Gawith,Hoggarth&Co
If you haven't tried Golden Days of Yore, try it!
Just started delving into Autumn Evening, it may take the place of one of those on the list. Don't need five and you don't need to be a aromatic hater.

C&D Capt. Bob's Blend - grape soda

Peterson Hyde Park - ultra ultra light Lakeland style floral

Two Friends Valle Crucis - topped with a liqueur of some kind; maybe ginger?

C&D #838: Halav U’Dvash (Milk and Honey) - chocolate or carob-like flavor with a dark fruit taste like raisin, prune, currant, or dates, etc.

Just for him shortcut to mushrooms

That's about the only one I can think of that I enjoy. I like MacB Golden Extra, but I don't really think it fully qualifies as an aro. Some may disagree though.

 

[rfernand]

G. l. Pease's The Virginia Cream

Cornell & Diehl's Autumn Evening
And that's pretty much all I can take.

jiminks offered me a sample of Edward G. Robinson at a pipe show, and I bought a tin. The sample at the show was most pleasant, but I still haven't cracked the tin. Am looking forward to that. However, there are so many exquisite non-aromatics, I really have a hard time choosing an aro off the shelf. I crave the tobacco forward blends and evade the flavorings, mostly. Have given away most of my aros to fellow vets in Asheville who really crave that flavored leaf.

Lane 1-Q

...that's all I can say for an aromatic I like. I tend to like the real thing, naturally aged or fermented or cured via fire in some fashion. Even those I seek out something that doesn't bite as I smoke a lot.

 

[perlasca]

I enjoy tobacco from each genre, just like I like some country music, some Rap music but, not all.

That being said, I'm not an aromatic hater. It doesn't bother me when some talk bad about aro's.

I sometimes think people just roll with the crowd in their distaste for aromatics.

I find aro's to be very mild and smooth. I don't get the bite some say when they describe them.
Russ' from P&C, his monthly blends that I get from the Tobacco of the Month Club are very good in my opinion.

"Cavendish in the Woods" was very good in my opinion.
But I'm a guy who will smoke a bowl of Escudo then turn around and pack a bowl of Captain Black Cherry.

As a old school aro, I like C&D Crooner, plus a few Lakelands.

 

[bigpond]

Dark Birdseye- they say it's unflavored, but I pick up violet and almond

Irish Flake- Anise topping

Grasmere- It takes a real man to handle all this rose oil.

 

[perdurabo]

I'm beginning to think Smoking aromatics first when Learning to smoke a pipe, is a bad idea. Developing some technique first, has made aromatics more enjoyable.
I'm glad I did this thread, that Two Friends English Chocolate is calling my name. I had dreams of smoking it last night. Tarlar and Pease team up, those Two Friends blends must be a treasure.
Big pond Grasmere is awesome. I get notes of strawberry from time to time with Grasmere.

 

[aldecaker]

I agree. I have long held that aromatics, especially goopers, are more challenging than plainer blends.

 

[iamn8]

There are only two aromatics that I like, Master Penman and Petersons Connoisseur's Choice.

 

[freakiefrog]

I don't normally smoke aromatics but that Just For Him "Short cut to Mushrooms" has more of an earthy flavor to me that I really dig.
