Have you tried Windsail straight out of the bag and compared it to what's in your pouch? I prefer D&R's Penhooker Silver over Windsail. I find it a touch smoother and sweeter.
That general store sounds like good times.
I have not as of yet, and yes I love that little hole in the wall store. It's the male counterpart to the beauty shop anything and everything from coon hunting, best farmer, crookedest, or craziest family in town will be discussed any given morning.

Last Saturday while Mr. Kincade was speaking of the miracle of Viagra, Mr. Thompson said "I ain't killing myself with something like that". To which Mr. O'Reily responded "Hamburger's had helper fer years and ain't kilt nobody yet", Just a wealth of information I hear every time I stop by.

I am mostly a Virginia smoker, and I know exactly what you are talking about. Early on, before I could start to discern flavors in Virginias, as the flavors are very delicate, like in a tea, as opposed to how in your face burleys can be. So, you will get a fine layer of nicotine and other aspects of the smoke in your mouth as an after taste. And, it can be salty tasting. I also get that very rarely from latakia blends.

Try drinking ice water when smoking, something to cleanse the palate while smoking. It may make it easier to taste your tobacco also. I will drink coffee also, but coffee doesn't help you while you are learning to taste the tobacco.
