[QUOTE="wharfrathoss, post: 38707, member: 417"] don't know how long you've been piping for, but i couldn't taste much when i 1st started. because of that, i stayed w/mostly english blends. smoking cigars & cigs also seems like it confuses your taste buds. now that i've smoked a pipe for a little while, i can taste a lot more. VA's for example, used to taste bland & boring. now i find them tangy, sweet & full of flavor. if you want to learn what the different types of tobac taste like, i'd suggest buying some blending tobacco. McC's & C&D have 'em tinned, your local B&M may have 'em too. get some latakia, perique, turkish, VA (McC's 5100, SG best brown flake or FVF), & burley (MacB's golden xtra, 5 Bros). tasting them by themselves may help you pick them out in blends. word of warning on the perique, just try a little bit!) if over time (a year or so) you still have problems tasting flavors, you might just have to stick w/heavier tobacs. only way to know for sure is to experiment, hell, that's 12 the fun anyhow!
