[QUOTE="huffelpuff, post: 502480, member: 2140"] Will play devil's advocate here. I think there is a difference between topped and aromatic. As almost all blends have been topped with some kind of something to round off harsh flavors but not necessarily change the flavor itself. Rum for example can be added in small enough quantities that yes you can smell it but you'd be hard pressed to find any trace of flavor from it. Its purpose is rounding out and enhancing the tobacco flavor. So for me aromatic tobacco means American and Danish style food flavored blends. I have a hard time putting the likes of G&H cherry twist into that category as yes it is scented but pretty much the only thing you will taste is the tobacco. Its an oily almost diesel fuel tasting tobacco but still all tobacco. I don't think adding latikia or other orientals makes something an aromatic. Do those additions improve the room note? Hell yes they do! But I still wouldn't call them aromatic blends. Just my idiosyncratic 2 cents Jim [/QUOTE]
