Best Smelling Non-Aromatic Blends

[Day2Day]

My wife likes the smell of Sansepolcro and Carolina Red Flake, works out great for me because these are my favorite C&D blends. But she only really complains is when I'm smoking a Latakia forward blend, while I love the flavor, I have to agree I don't much care for the room stench.

Some wives can’t be pleased when it comes to tobacco

Luckily mine smokes cigars with me when I can smoke outside. She prefers Maduro so she has good taste in tobacco and doesn’t mind the smell. Some blends smoked indoors seem to bother her though.

You are a lucky man indeed.

My wife used to join me in a drink or three, and the occasional cigarillo or kretek (Indonesian clove cigarette).
All that stopped when we were expecting our 1st son many moons ago.

Hold your ground.

Any ground you lose will be gone forever.

Just humble opinion.

Would War Horse fit the bill?

A good Virginia smells like baking bread to me.

I get compliments on the smell with Virginias pretty often. So double on what you said.

My wife has a super sensitive sniffer, so I'm always mindful of what blend I choose when I'm in her presence. Since I'm exclusively an outdoor smoker, it's not a frequent occurrence, but when it does happen, I know what blends to favor, and which to avoid.

Generally, I'm in agreement with the consensus here on VAs. Very light, very inoffensive, and seeing as we have a horse, the hay smell is naturally in perfect alignment. Wifey has never complained about a VA room note, not once, and, somewhat oddly, not even an English one either. The only complaints I've gotten were of a couple excessively goopy aromatics, and some stronger VaPer blends. My own personal favorite non-aromatic tin and room note is Mac Baren Burley London Blend, with an honorable mention of Savinelli 140th Anniversary.

YMMV, as always.

fun fact my girl only complains about Latakia. Like even sometimes EGR (RIP)

It is definitely a point of contention in my household. She used to not mind it as much, but the last year has been rough.

Have her help you pick out the blends. Then she's at least partially culpable for her sufferings.
