Title edited for capitals. Please read Rule 9.
This thread is for the newbies. Never throw away a tobacco because you don't think you like it, because in a few years you might think it is great. In my younger years I couldn't stand blends with Latakia. I ran into a few Latakia blends and started to smoke them. Now I like blends with a little Latakia to smooth things out and add a little flavor. Match Walnut, John Bull, Super Value English and Match Revelation are some I enjoy now. Also years ago I wondered how anyone could smoke blends with floral essences. Now I smoke some and enjoy them for what they are. In my older years I have settled into a Codger blend in the morning with my coffee, an aromatic in the afternoon and a light English in the evening. That is the wonderful part of pipe smoking is that your taste buds will change and you can experience something different. I am sure that if I manage to live a few more years that my taste buds will want something new. How has your taste buds changed?
