Welcome from another noob to the forum! Have you landed on a favorite blend yet?
Dude, I could bore you into a coma. It's my Special Gift, and it can't be taught! Before I gave up tobacco, I recall enjoying Latakia-heavy stuff. But I've aged, and there was this bug that was in the news that wrecked taste buds and sniffers and caused me to grow a beard (long story).

Local shop started me on a custom blend with Latakia. It's ok, but let's go basic. Burley was ok. Virginia was ok. He gave me a sample of Peter Stokkebye luxury twist flake, and I had kittens. So now I have to keep educating my nose, and maybe drop my prejudice against flavored stuff.

For today, the luxury flake, but I'm still learning. How about you?
