Well said! I think far too often we get the wrong idea that we have to like a blend just because it gets high marks on review sites or we hear others ranting and raving how "this" is the greatest tobacco ever and everything else is crap compared to it. Smoking a pipe is about what the individual likes and that's it. No need to over complicate things by trying to pound square pegs in round holes while smoking tobacco you hate because everyone says you should love it.I kind of hate the idea of graduating to a blend style. They're all a matter of taste. And yeah taste evolves and changes but it's not a linear thing. I kind of go back and fourth in what I smoke more accurate way to put it is that now I have a better idea of what I am in the mood for at what times.
