What's your favorite aromatic?

[DeWitt1912]

I like Autumn Evening. Smells and tastes like I'm smoking a stack of pancakes, and I assume it's all natural since it says topped with natural maple. I'm about to order sixteen ounces from the US. Takes about ten days to reach me here in Japan, but I'm open to trying some new things.

Let me know why you like your choice!

My favorites change over time. Currently, my favorite is C&D Apricots and Cream. I'm sure I'll tire of it at some point and go looking for a new one.

I generally smoke English tobacco but really enjoy Boswells Hunters Choice and Smokers Choice. Sometimes I will punch then up by adding some 5 Brothers.

Dan "Devils Holiday" is a very good berry aromatic

 

[Servant King]

Drew Estate Grand Central, sadly no longer made.

 

[Mez]

Samuel Gawith Black Cherry Cavendish. If you like cherry tobaccos it taste really strong and natural.

 

[telescopes]

Telescopes of course. A delicate blend of BCA and Sutliff Nougat. Or The Doctors Own Blend which adds Latakia and Perique to the blend.

Used to be Ennerdale. Then it got scarce. Then I heard the blend changed and was less aromatic. I have old tins (carefully sealed) and jars in the cellar for when I get old.

Just smoked my first Devil's Holiday today and my answer is Devil's Holiday!

 

[Roach1]

My favorite is Autumn Evening for Fall and Winter. Macbaren Vanilla Rollcake is also very good but is a aro that doesn't smoke like one.

 

[Sgetz]

Wilson's of sharrow supreme. Though I'm not much of a aromatic fan

 

[PaulTheScandinavian]

G&H Rich Dark HoneyDew , Erinmore Flakes and Amphora Red Full

 

[sardonicus87]

I'm also pretty fond of DTM's Devil's Holiday, looking forward to trying their SVH at some point.

I love the taste of G&H Glengarry flake but I can't call it a favorite because for me, it's too bitey. Ennerdale ranks up pretty high for me.

All time favorite aro so far though has been Sutliff's Maple Shadows (RIP). At some point I want to try Wilke's maple blends.

There's still a lot of aros I haven't yet tried though.

 

[BingBong]

Ennerdale is quite enough for me.

 

[raybrown55]

W.O. Larsen Scarlet Passion is my staple aromatic, but I like also Rattray's Exotic Passion and, when I can get it, Stanwell Melange

 

[Lumbridge]

How are we defining "aromatic" here?
Anything with any amount of added top flavoring? Then it would be Carter Hall, my default smoke for when I just want to smoke a pipe without thinking about it much. Medium-light topping, still tastes like tobacco.

Candy sweet aromatics? I haven't liked most of the ones I've tried. I admit to liking Captain Black regular. It just does the creamy, toasty vanilla thing really well. Maybe it's also nostalgia, as it was my first pipe blend.

 

[PaulRVA]

Probably C&D Autumn Evening.

 

[RL Bucktails]

Burlier morning pipe right now. Is Captain Black an aromatic? If yes then I would add that.
