[QUOTE="Hunter5117, post: 89886, member: 799"] If you switch to a virginia based tobacco you will need to learn to smoke slow. Aromatics generally don't bite and that is why first time smokers find them to be friendly. Virginias and Vapers can bite the tongue, especially if you smoke fast or puff them. This can turn you off from them before you get a chance to enjoy them. Additionally, smoking slow tends to bring out the best of the sweet flavors, rather than charring the sugars into bitter charcoal. Another good transition might be a burley based tobacco, especially one with as little topping as possible. Then a burley/virginia blend can help transition you into the pure virginias which a lot of us consider to be tobacco nirvana. Good luck and have fun, the infinite variation is one of the great treats of pipe smoking. [/QUOTE]
