    I tried the aromatics when I started the pipe a while ago but just wasn't my thing even though Pops used to smoke aromatics. I'm sure there are facts and studies that will prove me wrong but I just didn't like them

    Randy, are we still talking about tobacco?

    No rush. Take your time and enjoy each one of them. Send it along when you're ready.

    Small bowl of C&D Burley in a Falcon. Like the flavor but the nic hit me hard.

    At this point I still prefer Quite Nites, Elizabethan Mixture or Revor plug.

    I enjoyed the Elizabethan Mixture

    Pipers Pleasure in a Kaywoodie meer lined.
    Lit and burned well. Very mild.

    Was it enjoyable for you? Did you detect any discernible flavors? I thought it was pretty good.

    To me it was very slightly English. Enjoyable enough but nothing I would buy. Too mild for me. Of everything I have ever had, only a tiny percentage of those I would reorder.

    I really like these pass arounds. I can try stuff without having ounces of tobacco left I am not enthused with.

    I'm a big fan of the pass arounds too it seems like a good way to get a little taste of it all. I'm especially excited for the english sampler pass around since I have only tried one so far.

    I haven't had many English blends thus far. It'll be interesting.

    Small bowl of Sweet and Mild.

    Lit and burned easily. Plenty of smoke. Burned completely away to a light white ash.
    Strongest flavor and nic of any so far but still pretty mild. A bigger bowl may have had a stronger nic hit.

    I liked it the most so far. Think Elizabethan Mixture lite...

    Small bowl of No Bite Delight.
    Very smoky, mild and slightly sweet. Another not bad but nothing exceptional.

    Small bowl of Pennsylvania Dutch Treat
    Smoky with a long burn. There was a very slight flavor but couldn't really put my finger on it. Maybe cocoa or dark chocolate but pretty indistinguishable. Was walking the dog and my wife liked the smell but she couldn't put her finger on a particular scent either. No complaints anyway.

    Last tobacco I believe. Another undistinguishable flavor. Very smoky and mild.
    None of these where unsmokable just too mild and uninspiring for me…

    Is @Yakster next on the list?

    How would we feel about getting the next sampler started? I'll buy the English sampler and have it shipped to @Hawks and just pass in the same order? That way we got them arriving roughly a week after the aromatics.
