Tobacco Taste

[Swampfox]

Is there any correlation to tobacco type/blend to food or beverage preferences? I’m trying to see if there is an easier way to guess at what tobaccos I may like other than a scatter shot approach. I have tried about a dozen aromatics and find them all lacking depth of flavor even though I can taste the main flavoring. They all seem to be one note wonders.

kinda but not really. Read reviews and if the nuances sounds good why not try those ones.

Your palate is individual. If you stumble onto another smoker with similar tastes, find out what they like. Otherwise you'll just have to explore . . . learn . . . on your own. It's a fun journey for most.

If you're just in your first few years of smoking, aromatics are going to be a lost cause to you.

If there is, I've not noticed one.

I know I have seen a guide that looks at food preferances but haven't found it. Try this and I will keep on looking.

Good luck.

This is becoming apparent to me with every bowl. I just don’t know where to jump to next. Any recommendations for a complete newb who likes a bit of sweetness with some savory flavors as well?

Therein lies the rub. Try a medium English blend or a Va/Per. It will open up a whole other world to you with respect to pipe tobacco.

I will reference the suggestions above to see which fall in these categories.

Just ordered some old dark fired, sixpence, black frigate, and bayou morning. So it begins……..

Ohhhh, the journey! Love it.

I started with some lame aromatics ???, but then I tried Robert McConell’s heritage NOTTING HILL and PICCADILLY that whole other world, as said above, and I’m hooked. After I tried lighter VIrginias (Capstan) and Peterson University flake… tr if you can find McConell heritage all of them and Rattray Old Gowrie
