Smoke Aroma

New subscriber here.
Was wondering.....
picked up the ole pipe two weeks ago and want to keep the wife happy (Of Course) She has agreed for me to smoke in the house as we relax together watching TV. after 26 years together she says its my house too. (imagine that?) I want her to enjoy a couple of pipe tobacco aromas while I'm smoking away. there was a time we bumped into a gentleman smoking outside in a park and I must admit it did smell great. I think alot of people are looking for that one tobacco that smokes well and puts out a fragrance that just a whif of it will just get people to follow you like the pied piper to see what it is.
Does anyone have or know of maybe one or two tobaccos they can recommend?

My wife likes the aroma of MacBaren ~ Vanilla Cream Flake and Cult ~ Blood Red Moon.

Lane 1-Q is the classic 'good smelling' tobacco blend. Maybe stay away from blends with Latakia for the time being. I also think the room note of Peter Stokkebye Luxury Twist Flake is very nice, but your wife may have other ideas.

2nd the Mac Baren Vanilla Cream and Cult BRM. Also add the Mac Baren 7 Seas Royal.

Pretty much any of the aromatics should be good. I agree with the staying away from any blends with latakia in them unless your wife likes sitting around a campfire. Check out tobaccoreviews.com for informations and what other pipe smokers think of different blends.

I've heard a lot of folks say the complete opposite, but my girl likes the smell of English blends more than anything else. She likes incense, and camping, so that may be the connection. But, honestly, I have no idea why anyone would say tobacco doesn't smell good. Smells gosh darn delicious.

Well, there's people who don't like the aroma of ginko fruit and cat urine, either. I just don't get it.

Sutliff Molto Dolce...mso489 stated recently that it smells so good that your wife will re-marry you.

madpiper, I've heard people mention Mac Baren Original Choice as one of those with a more pleasant aroma, but when I tried smoking it I felt like I was drinking corn based maple syrup, so...
I guess it really depends on what your tastes are. You have to choose something out of what you enjoy, or there'd be no point smoking it at all.
I found out what blends to smoke around my girl by trial and error and communication. Just light up and ask her what she thinks.

If your going with the Sutliff Molto Dolce. Put it out for a couple hours to dry, or maybe a day. Serious Goopiness. but decent and great aroma.

Mac Baren's Club Blend has a mild, sweet aroma. Tobacco and marshmallows.

+2 on Spartacus & Philo's comments. Lane's BCA & Sutliff ZBC 245 are good for room note also. Be aware, though, drying/getting rid of the propylene glycol that makes it so soggy can take a while.

My wife likes when I'm smoking Autumn Evening or 1-Q.

Scotty's Butternut Burley from Pipes & Cigars is definitely a crowd pleaser. I always get compliments from the non-smokers when I smoke it.

There are some good suggestions on this thread I started: Wife/Girlfriend Approved Blends
