[QUOTE="Brewdude, post: 418306, member: 1723"] I started with an aro - Uhle's 255 - what my late Pap smoked exclusively as far as I can remember. And I figured if it was good enough for Pap it was good enough for me. Actually I didn't realize it was an aro back then since I was new to the pipe and wasn't conversant in the the categories or lingo. All I knew is that I liked it. Still smoke it, occasionally. Things change. Now I'm pretty much a straight 'ginny/VaPer guy. Occasionally dip into some Sammy G's Firedance when the mood strikes, and of course Uhle's 255. Never was drawn to any of the OTC staples like Borkum Riff or the like. And knowing what I do now about those and the high PG/sugar content it's likely I never will either. Did try out a vanilla blend once and found it soapy and awful. Guess I'm not an aro guy, but have no issues with anyone who enjoys them. As has been noted it seems as though like the vast majority of pipe weed sold are aros. And pipe sites like this and others seem to focus on non-aros. So it seems we are a minority!
