The last bowlful confirmed it for me: I no longer like latakia.
This is a fairly big shift in my tastes. When I first started out, I smoked aromatics exclusively. Then there was a year that I didn't smoke much, and when I started back up, I found at that the aromatic I'd enjoyed was just overpowering in the flavoring. So I tried an English blend and that lead to the majority of the blends that I've smoked until the last year when I began branching out into Va, VaPers, Burley blends, and whatever else might not have latakia in it.
It's not the blends I have, it's me. I've suspected that I didn't like latakia as much as I used to for about two months now, but I've been systematically sampling the latakia containing blends I have over the last several weeks and all of them have not appealed to me in the least. Invariably, the latakia containing blends just strike me as one dimensional and rather off-putting. Again, I know that's my tastes, as all of these blends have quite the following and heaps of praise.
The upside to all this is that I'll be able to better direct my tobacco funds in the future towards more of the VaPers and Virginias that I've come to love.
Anyone else ever experience a sharp change in their tastes like this?
