Hello all, I'm new to the forum and have been enjoying all of the great information here. I've been dabbling in aromatics the past few years, but recently decided I wanted to see what else was out there. I've read a lot about the English blends and wanted to try them, so I headed down to Edward's Tobacco shop in Denver, (I live about 40 minutes south of there). I explained what I wanted to try and they pointed me to a couple of Dunhill tins. I came home with Early Morning Pipe on their recommendation and also grabbed a tin of Nightcap because I thought I might like it based upon what I've read.
I opened the EMP first and smelling it thought, "Woah, that's new!" I really like how it smokes, with a subtle spice flavor that reminds me of the baked lamb I love at a nearby Syrian restaurant. It is definitely I whole new experience from the drugstore aromatics I've had. I also tried the Nightcap today and really like that as well. If these are indicative of English blends I think I like the genre a lot.
I have the Sutliff English sampler on the way in the mail to try as well, (I feel like I should have gone to the B&M instead of being impatient and ordering online- but it will be nice to try a few different blends). I'm very happy to have discovered a whole new class of tobaccos and looking forward to new tastes. It feels like there is a whole new world out there to experience!
