Finally Some Good Flavor!

[jservant98]

I recently tried some new tobaccos, Erinmore flake and HH black house. Finally some tobaccos with noticeable flavor! I would highly recommend these two tobaccos. Blackhouse has quite a unique flavor, very smokey. Erinmore is the best by far I have tried yet...The reviews on this site help tremendously.

Finding strong, good flavors was my hardest challenge starting out, after a while, as like many experienced smokers, I began seeking out more subtle, milder blends that smoked smoother. Funny how tastes change!

 

[jservant98]

Thanks Eric, I have been smoking aromatics exclusively and have been frustrated with trying to find something that I could actually taste! HH blackhouse was quite a shocker at first but the more I smoked it the more I liked it and Erinmore is just good!

 

[taerin]

Ah yes the noobie aromatics curse! I reciently got back into them, two aromatics that have a particuarly strong flavor are Moontrance by CAO and Altadis Molto Dulce.

 

[jservant98]

Thanks for the info Eric, I will try those two. ::

Still the best aro I've ever had.

Oh Black House, my beloved Black House...... Can you tell I like Black House? The more you smoke those Latakia blends, the more you'll start to crave them!

I recommend this blend to all Aro fans, W.O. Larsen 2013. Awesome blend. Its like a Ribbon cut Erinmore flake but better. The citrus notes similar to Erinmore (though different in specific flavor) with Whisky on top of that. Doesnt get much better!

 

[jservant98]

Thanks, those sound like some great tobaccos, I will check them out as soon as I am able! W.O. Larsen 2013 gets great reviews. I admit the (EF) could stand to have a little more flavor.. I have not tried "Mid-Day" from Villiger 1888. Black House has a whole lot of flavor! Thanks rothnh, I saw that the Erinmore mixture got some pretty low reviews not much flavor ect... ::

If you like Blackhouse, you may be interested in Fred Hanna's Wilderness and Legends. Also Westminster, Star of the East, Odessa, Engine 99 and Campfire, to name but a few of notable Latakia blends.

I love Erinmore Flake. Cortez sent me a sample and got me hooked. I bought a tin recently, and have been smoking it all day. Love it. It's like a very light lakeland blend and one of those that calls to me.

Thanks Gentlemen you guys are great in my book.. ::

I noticed I am becoming a fan of blends with Burleys in them. I like the "nutty" taste. Three I like that I notice good flavor in are 4th Generation 1897 with light vanilla and honey flavoring, MacBaren's London Blend and Mixture Modern. Just something to sample if you have an opportunity.

 

[jservant98]

Thanks craig, I have enjoyed some of MacBaren's blends :D

I don't smoke Erinmore often, but I smoke it regularly. I get a little dark chocolate taste in the last 1/3 of the bowl that I really enjoy. I think one of the reasons I don't smoke that often is that it's pretty wet. Unless I've thought about it in advance, I usually just grab something else that won't take as long to dry out.

Black House was the first English I bought ( back in February). I must say it had a strong smell, in fact it stunk up the whole order of tobacco! After aging for 7 months, it mellowed a lot, and just smells deep and complex now. Looking forward to my next bowl when I get a hankering for English.

 

[smokeytay33]

I have recently taken to latakia, so I'll have to add Black house to my list! Thanks for the insight! ::

 

[jservant98]

You are welcome smokeytay33, Blackhouse is bold and has lots of flavor. Its The first latakia I have tried and I was pretty surprised by the smell and flavor. ::

You really should give Frog Morton Cellar a shot.
Also if you liked Black House you may enjoy Magnum Opus.
Also as for aro's I also think Villiger's Mid-Day is one of the best.

If you like Blackhouse you may like McClellands Blue Mountain which is delightful.
