[QUOTE="alfredo_buscatti, post: 193459, member: 36"] Although you lack firm opinions about what you like and what you don't, as long as you give a blend an honest try, that's what you should do, to my way of thinking. You may find that as your palate develops, a blend that tasted one way tastes another way 6-12 months down the road. That is to say that you may have to revise your opinions. I dunno; being in the newb stage has its frustrations, but as you say it has great opportunities as you are out the taste the best of the best pipe tobacco has to offer, according to your emerging palate. So go for it! That's great! TobaccoReviews can be your friend in this, but it can also be frustrating as you try to winnow out those opinions you can trust. Now, after some years reading it, I look at the blend average stars, and as I read through those reviews that give it a star and claim that the blend is total garbage, that it tastes like rubber or the lining of his grandmother's shoes, I discount them. I look instead for the nuanced perception of someone who has an accurate palate. Sometimes these reviews can be long. I can just tell when the guy is either spouting bullshit or has something real to say. [/QUOTE]
