Hey all. It's been quite some time since I have posted. I now live in The great state of Texas! So here's the issue I am having. I am in a tobacco funk. I usually like aro's but anything I smoke lately is unsatisfying. I would like some suggestions and why. It doesn't have to be an aro either. I am always open to new stuff. Just as long as it doesn't taste like or smell like a slim jim. Thats how I describe some of the more earthy tobaccos. Ok, go!

My first rec would me McConnell Scottish cake, my personal fave. However, as a mostly aro smoker such as yourself, possibly better suggestions would be Luxury Bullseye Flake or Luxury Navy Flake by Stokkebye. They are very good transition blends.

C&D Black Frigate....delicious rum tobacco "brownie" you want to eat when you open the tin.
Dunhill MM 965...great smooth tobacco with some sweet notes due to cavendish
John Cotton's Smyrna....a little smoky, a little sour, all tasty goodness

Aromatic: Cube Silver
Overpowering sweetness in the aroma, but delicious to the taste buds. As part of the new generation of Mac Baren aros, there is absolutely no bite. Low nicotine content.
Burley: Golden Extra
Very pleasant and smooth. Also by Mac Baren, this is a brown broken flake with a honey and prune topping that does not cover the natural nutty taste of the Burley. Low nicotine content. I'm also a big fan of University Flake by Peterson. The nic is definitely present in this one but the subtle blueberry flavor makes it all worth it.
English: Early Morning Pipe
This offering by Dunhill offers moderate nicotine with the subtlest of English flavor. Smooth, easy to smoke but a little boring for the true Lat smokers. Another good alternative for a softer English style tobacco blend is McClelland'a Frog Morton on the Bayou. The ketchuppy flavor might be a bit overpowering at first, but it develops into the creamiest blend I've ever tried.
Va/Per/Bur: Irish Oak
All though too much Virginia taste for me, this offering by Peterson is without a doubt the smoothest blend I have ever tried. Decent nic content if that is important to you.
Best of all is you're going to be experiencing a host of tasty treats no matter which of these recommendations you choose.

Try East India Trading Co Royal Challenge, I love the stuff and P&C got it for $5.50 a tin, also get some Missouri Meerschaum blends, quite a surprise there
