I honestly don’t think we can say we Got It, unless we’ve smoked every blend on the planet.
Sure, a lot of blends are very similar, but a lot aren’t, even as subtle as they may be, there are differences.
If I had to take a wild guess, by the way you were talking about Aromatics, you are stereotyping typical Aros, goopy moist, heavily cased/topped, etc...
There are a lot of Aros out there, people are still calling VAs, Burelys, and VAPers, but they are clearly Aromatics cased and topped.
Have you ever smoked Esoterica Dorchester or Dunbar? Both Aromatics, not properly labeled as such. Samuel Gawith Grousemoor another Aromatic, that is listed as an Aro, but very much like Dorchester and Dunbar.
Get your hands on one of these three, then come back and please tell us your experiences.
Now maybe, even subtle Aros like this could still bother you, then you are just overly sensitive, but these three are not typical Aros either.
Just remember, you can’t put every Aro under the same categories as saying they are all going to bother you, because of their toppings/casings, because they are not all prepared the same ways.
So your selling yourself short here, believing this, and also missing out on other great blends out there.
P.S. And when you mentioned how your throat feels, that’s probably because of Propylene Glycol, which can be heavily used in Aromatics, but it can also be found too in Non Aromatics.
