[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 526379, member: 1365"] Kevin - thanks for your input...it makes perfect sense to dedicate a pipe to a genre as opposed to a specific blend. And I plan to progress on that heading. Note: I don’t consider strong stinky Brit flakes to be aromatics. The process is different and the typical use of strong floral scents is unlike most any aro...which most often rely on vanilla, cocoa, fruits, spirits, etc. And I stay away from the ones that are heavily juiced with Tonquin...like Ennerdale. I do have some high quality Argos I enjoy on occasion but stick mostly to meers and cobs when I do. I usually smoke: 1. Medium to strong non-aro Burley blends, without much if any toppings...mostly Peretti and Uhle and some C&D 2. Dark and fairly sweet mostly unscented VA or VA/Burley flakes...like Stonehaven & FVF 3. Melange blends with everything except Latakia & the kitchen sink...John Patton style stuff with VA/Burley/Turkish/Perique/Cigar Leaf...OK, maybe the kitchen sink 4. Medium to strong Lakeland floral stuff from Gawith like Dark Flake Scented, Broken Flake #7, Glengary, Cob, etc. So I guess going with those four as genres I’d be pretty safe. [/QUOTE]
