Okay, so when I started getting into pipes, I was very much intrigued more by the pipes than the tobacco. Because I have been more pipe focused, rather than tobacco focused, I feel as though I am severely lacking in tobacco education. If it helps any of you, let me start by saying that I started with cigars then got into pipes.
The shop that I work at has always been more aromatic heavy on their offerings because it seems as though first time/newbie smokers prefer those. As I dug into different types of tobacco (online) I found there to be two main groups: Aromatic and English. Is that correct? Now that I'm getting even further into the realm of tobacco pipe education I am getting a sense that there are more. I have also noticed that it almost seems as though a majority of the pipe smokers on here do not generally care for aromatics. It almost seems like aromatics are the flavored cigars of the pipe world....
I guess what I am struggling with is deciphering the difference between type of tobacco "blends" and the tobaccos that actually are in the blends (Virginia, Latikia). What makes it one or the other? Is there a good link/discussion on the boards that would explain this confusing web to me? I guess I am looking for clarification and an extenuation of knowledge. Thank you in advance for helping me have a better understanding!
