Sorry to hear. Eileens dream is a go to aro for me. So much chocolate vanilla and tobacco on my palate. And it’s cheap at under $10 a tin. I’ll be smoking a bowl before bed tonight
Done with Aromatics…?

I'm going to give it to the end of the tin to change my mind. I definitely liked it more after drying some overnight. It dialed the toppings back a notch and brought the tobaccos more to the forefront. I get a lot more of the citrusy Virginia now and the burn improved.
I also picked up a tin of Moontrance at the same time. Any opinion on that one?
That's an aromatic I like a lot. The St Patrick's reserve is way better and more complicated then they describe it as being. It's certainly aromatic but I can still taste the tobacco and I always use the cocktail metaphor. Some aromatics are rum and coke or something like that. Something that makes the alcohol taste less like alcohol. Others are more like a Manhattan or Martini where it's just a enough stuff to change the liquor but leave it as the star. Then there are things in between the two. Like a splash of ginger ale in mediocre whiskey (if you do that with a good one.........there is a special slot in purgatory for you), where you still really taste both things. The Reserve is in between. You certainly get the aromatic qualities but it's easy to pick out what leaf types they use.
Maybe try it out a a briar? Whenever I smoke a cob I taste the cob itself. I don't mind it as it is sweet to me but maybe it's affecting the flavor? Dunno?
I might do that. I do have one briar assigned to aromatic duty.
I've never noticed much of a taste with cobs... maybe a little with the varnished ones when they're new.

Not all Aromatics are goopy wet tongue bite, can’t taste any tobacco but cherry vanilla etc...
Look at Samuel Gawith Grousemoor, KBV Sakura, or Silem’s Black.

I'd tell the neighbors to go fornicate themselves. Once people realize that you're crazier than they are, life becomes much easier. Also helps not giving a rats ass what anybody else thinks. Try yelling obscenities at them while wearing a mustard stained undershirt, boxers and holding a Scotch...around 6 am. If you don't have boxers tighty whities will work. Let the left one hang out for the full effect.
This is fascinating - thanks so much. I’m going to have to study this. As to SGs, I’ll look into these. I already have Bothy flake which is a strange one and a good one I think, but not typical probably. I’ll look into the ones you mentioned. I’m drifting towards English blends though.@milk have you read this article about Aromatics?

I noticed along time ago that that Japanese aromatic had great reviews (and it’s easy to get here in Japan where I live) but I’m kind of drifting towards English. Unfortunately the Sillem’s is more difficult to find. That looks very interesting. ETA: I made a mistake. I thought Sakura was Momoyama. I hadn’t known Sakura. Huh.@milk have you read this article about Aromatics?
