Who smokes aromatic blends?

[Louis]

This whole tobacco fiasco began with aromatic blends packed down in my briar. Now that I have found this wonderful community I'd like to hear which blends are your favorite?

I usually drop by my local B&M for a mix called Gentlemen Jack, its a very sweet smoke that burns cool provided you aren't smoking like a freight train. The taste is almost like maple syrup with a hint of Jack Daniels, very tasty!

I recently picked up some Early Morning Pipe to try a very mild english blend, and I like it! Its subtle, not alot of spice but enough to taste the tobacco. I think what I like most is that its still sweet. Its a great transition from aromatics.

Tell me about your smokes.

TTYL,
Louis

My favourite aromatics would be Peterson Sunset Breeze, MacBaren Vanilla Cream, and Dan Vanilla Honeydew.

My local shop has a blend called Peach Delight and another called Peaches and Cream. I prefer the former, but a friend of mine loves the latter.

I smoke a blend from a local shop called "Jazz," which is a typical cased cavendish/Virginia/burley blend. I've tried "Nightcap" from Ataldis, but it's like smoking a black jellybean. I placed an order with L. J. Peretti ( http://www.ljperetti.com/index.html ) for four samples of their blends. Carole at Pipeworks & Wilke ( http://www.vtpipes.com/index.html ) is said to have excellent quality blends, but they're moving and won't be running again until about the first part of August.

My personal favorite aromatic is a local blend called "Guilford Delight". Apparently the shop ships the stuff all over the country.

Does the shop have a website? I'm always looking to try something new. Anyone here tried Sweet Vanilla Honeydew? I've not been able to find this locally, may have to order online.

I'm with Millow on the Sunset Breeze and Vanilla Cream Flake. Haven't tried the Dan Vanilla Honeydew, but with a piper of such obvious good taste, it'll be a good choice!!!!!!

Sweet Vanilla Honeydew is the only aromatic I smoke with any regularity. The tin aroma is without question the best. Room note is a crowd pleaser. Smokes wonderfully if you keep in mind that it is a virginia and aromatic. Slow it way down or it bites!

These all sound so delicious, now to track some down. Do you folks recommend any online retailer over another?

Thanks for all the great help and advice!

Never smoked an aromatic, so far only had McClellands anniversary blend and McClellands Oriental mixture No1. Quite like the anniversary, not so fond of the other though. these aromatics however do sound damn tasty!
