Fun how people forget the sides of coins. Yes you enjoy what you enjoy, but that also means you are free to not enjoy and talk about what you don't enjoy.
And your answer to my question about which blends, says there isn't an aromatic to change your mind
.
Examples? English as in made in the UK, or English as in containing Latakia?
Some "English" blends may contain a bit of Cavendish, which I assume is "sugared" to some extent.
The effect is imperceptible to my palate. Perhaps a note of sweetness, but not a flavor per se.

So, the OP was just saying... I don't like such and such. No question, just making a statement.
You guys had better be careful. I've done some research on this guy. Some sort of criminal mastermind, and they just let him walk onto the forum to spread his criminal activity, nonetheless. I'd be careful.

Impressive cranium, from what I hear.So, the OP was just saying... I don't like such and such. No question, just making a statement.

There are many flavoured 'English blends' (meaning blends made in England).
The are some obviously flavoured 'English blends' (meaning Latakia blends).
I also suspect the majority of Latakia blends that are not obviously flavoured, including those from England, have some sort of flavouring added, even if it's just sugar water.
To complicate matters even more, English English blends like EMP are not even made in England anymore.

Look, the guy doesn't like topped tobaccos. Maybe some cased ones too. But, to turn the argument around and try to get him to admit that he likes things that he doesn't like with this, "latakia blends have flavoring too" bullshit is ridiculous and only throws gas on a fire that no one wants.
Hell, I hate aromatics also. I my smoke one every now and them to remind myself. But, all in all, if someone likers them, fine. If someone hates them, that's fine. Why does all of the arm twisting come up when someone doesn't like something?
Sure, he may have been trolling with the tone of his post, but you ate that bait hook line and sinker. Now, don't hate the player, hate the game. Whatever the fuck that means, ha ha.

I wish I liked aromatics. I used to smoke butternut burley back in the day. Just can't do it anymore.
Agreed, people can smoke what they want. And OP seems to mean strongly flavoured, chemically blends, which is fair enough. But I think it's reasonable to point out that flavouring, scent, topping, and casing are all a spectrum.
I'm more interested in this idea that the tobacco purity laws mean we don't get flavoured blends in the UK - we definitely do.
You followed that by saying you'd still speak ill of them.
No kidding. There's no wonder there aren't more pipe smokers.
It has been explained, but basically my takeaway from the "Purity Laws" is that absolutely everything we are told about them is bullshit. I do not like to call latakia blends "Englishes."
I vote that it's ok to say you hate something. Making this some sort of snowflake policy where we don't want to make someone cry or making this site some sort of "safe space" for tiny delicate hearts is stupid.
That said, I just want the cob smokers to stop washing my windshield at four way stops.
Lighten up on all of the virtue signaling. If an aromatic smoker reads Moriarty's post and runs off and slits their wrist... it most likely wasn't Moriarty's post that did it, but something deeper went wrong in that person.

The analogy is clearly between Satan and aromatics, not Satan and aromatic smokers
I get what you’re saying. I don’t care for them as much as I do other, fuller flavored tobacco blends. I do like the Lakeland aromatics a lot though. Many of those same techniques used to flavor them are used in English blends. Different spices, natural flavors, and essences match up well with Virginia, Oriental, and Latakia blends. Nobody would refer to that as an Aromatic though even though some of them smell pleasant-they are tobacco forward blends.
