[QUOTE="jacko, post: 161722, member: 1241"] The question is to aromatic or not. Generally speaking you will find non aromatic blends much more rewarding, once you get used to them. Its like getting your first cup of coffee or scotch, horrible at first (for most) but once you get over the taste the nuances are what makes them very enjoyable. My recommendation on the non-aromatic front is to try about a dozen different types of tobacco. From there you will have a rough idea of what you like and what you don't. It will take a bit time to iron out specifically what works for you. Having said all that, its also important to keep in mind that your pipe, packing and smoking technique will play a roll in the end result. These are harder to learn since they mostly come from experience. If you have a local pipe club I would recommend joining. Most folks will be happy to share their knowledge which is a bit easier to do in person then watching youtube or reading forums. ps I recommend McClelland Grand Orientals especially the YENIDJE SUPREME. Very forgiving tobacco and a great benchmark to work from if you are just starting out. Cheers [/QUOTE]
