Well starting this month I decided I would try to switch away from aromatics and mainly focus the year on english blends & navy flake like tobacco. While I do enjoy the flavor that you can get from some aromatics like SWR and Ole Shenandoah sometimes the flavor itself can be a little bit well lacking. With the arrival of the Three Nuns last month I really found the enjoyable taste of the tobacco by itself but the wife of course did not enjoy the room note. So I have since dedicated those types of tobaccos to my makeshift pipe shop that is currently being worked on.
To start off the adventure I ordered two pouches of Drexel. One VI and the other VIII since they had favorable reviews both here and on P&C. The cost being relatively average also was a consideration since I did not want to spend on the upword market for a new blend type at this time but if I turned out to like the blend type then well we all know how TAD can be and cellars expanded. So if you have recommendation for the english blends or the navy flake I am all ears for future orders and contemplations into our great little hobby.
