Had my first smoke today - need advice

[red1]

Again I'd like to thank everyone for their advice, it's pretty amazing how much great advice has been shared in such a short amount of time. I think I'll see if I can get a sampler of some tobaccos next time; perhaps some lane 1Q, prince albert/carter hall, and some kind of unflavoured tobacco.

Definitely take a break from the Aromatic's. Most aromatics don't taste how they smell but can be coaxed out sometimes with good technique.
Try 1oz bulk of a few different types of tobacco's to get a feel for the varieties.

1. Peter Stokkebye Luxury Twist Flake = Virginia tobacco with a light flavoring that you can actually taste

2. Peter Stokkebye Luxury Bullseye Flake = Good semi sweet intro to Virginia Perique blends.

3. McClelland 2015 = A fuller bodied Virginia Perique

4. Dunhill Early Morning Pipe = Balkan/English type

5. McClelland 5100 = Red Virginia

And of course the previously mentioned burley blends.
