[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 215893, member: 2318"] Taste is really interesting. I recall that Kyle and I have the same preference for cheap suds (Miller HL), but on tobacco I peak at the broadest descriptors -- sweet, smokey, woodsy, peppery . . . If you want to see how much variety there is in individua tastes, check the wildly different descriptions on the Tobacco Reviews board. Examp: I was told that I might like Spillman's Mixture. I turned to the board to get the verdicts. Hilarious! One smoker would say it bites. The next would say it never does such a thing. The next would say the smoke is thin. The next, that its plenty smokey. One would say it's a moderate English. The next an aromatic. One says it's burley, another Latakia. The next would praise its all-day smokability . . . Well, you get the idea. Lot of subjectivity and some smokers just have a talent in their taste buds. There's also The Professor's Pipe Page in which one talented smoker reviews tobaccos and is pretty consistent in his reports. I don't see much new being added by the good prof, but it's a place to compare one's own impressions with someone who's skilled at it. Finally, even the experts in P&T mag's "Trial by Fire" sometimes are on quite different pages. 'Course once you find what you like it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. Even I can tell you that Hal is great stuff. It's sweet. [/QUOTE]
