[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 205623, member: 2318"] Here's a bit of unvarnished advice that would have been a worthwhile shortcut for me back in the day when I was a pipester newbie. Everybody seems to start with a drugstore aromatic (Amphora was my first) and (assuming they persevere after the not-so-great start) tries some good sample of tobacco and has an epiphany: ""Ah, so that's what tobacco tastes like!!" So my advice is this: Buy a good Virginia blend, a Latakia blend and a Burley. (All non-aromatics.) After you've puffed a few bowls of each, you'll know from your own experience what you're dealing with and what such descriptors as "a smoky English mixture" mean. It's a shortcut from the usual passage through aromatics. Follow ur own path, I'm jus' sayin' . . . [/QUOTE]
