Favorite Pipe Aromatic Blend

[Headcharge]

As you all know of my newbie status in the pipe world I pose a question:

What is your favorite aromatic? Curious of what the room note is and what is the flavor?

So far I am enjoying some different english blends and working my way through some other samples but I have avoided the aromatics.

My favorites are flakes and include SG 1792, SG mayors chocolate flake, SG Firedance, G&H Bob's chocolate flake, G&H Rum flake, G&H Ennerdale flake. Room note is the best on the firedance- a blackberry and cognac flake, and Ennerdale- almond with florals those are also the lightest in strength at a solid medium. The room note on all are pleasant. There is a difference between the chocolate flakes SG is more subtly flavored and while both contain latakia, it is more prevalent in the G&H . 1792 is tonquin with a more subtle floral component. The Rum flake is anise and rum with fairly mild, but present, floral scent.

Mac Baren Vanilla Creme Flake is my daily smoker. Another favorite of mine is the CAO Moontrance, nice light flavor with a medium burn. When available, I like to get a tin of Cornell & Diehls Crooner blend. It's a strange mix of textures, which I often find hard to keep lit, but great tasting and very fulfilling.

Erinmore Flake. Can't tell you the room note since it's hard to tell exactly when you're smoking it, but it's a nice change of pace from English blends. Kind of like desert, but it's not a Captain Black Cherry kind of gross casing.

C&D Autumn Evening... think warm maple syrup over fresh pancakes.

[Commander Quan]

Boswell's aromatics are some of the best American style aros you can get. The Berry Cobler, Christmas Cookie, Boswell's Best, and Peach & Cream are personal favorites.

A friend sent me something called Montego Bay that I enjoy and I really don't mind Captain Black white. The room note is great.

I can't narrow it down to one favorite, hell I can't even narrow it down, "it's all good" as they say A few I would recommend, Scotty's Butternut Burley (excellent with a coffee) Just For Him's Shortcut To Mushrooms (I don't know if it's an aromatic) Just For Him Magic Flute COA Eileen's Dream (also excellent with a coffee) C&D Autumn Evening, Boswell's Berry Cobbler, Boswell's Northwoods is awesome too (room note no, taste yes)

I'm hardly the voice of experience here, but thus far my favorite aro has probably been Ennerdale.

[Tauntman]

Benjamin Hartwell's "Evening Stroll" - many compliments on the delightful aroma.

At the risk exposing my pedestrian tastes, I have to say Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic. I really need to try a bunch more aromatics.

[RazoRock]

The best ones I've smoked come from Uhle's in Wisconsin.

[TonyH]

Right now, it's C&D Founding Fathers. It has notes of pomegranate. I'm also really fond of C&D Interlude, which is lightly flavored with honey.

[Red Horn]

Boswell's aromatics are some of the best American style aros you can get. The Berry Cobler, Christmas Cookie, Boswell's Best, and Peach & Cream are personal favorites.

+1. I like Piper's Pleasure better than B's B though.

[blueheron]

Black Cordial. Very nice aromatic that smokes and behaves well.

[Captain Pete]

In this order: Ennerdale Flake, Bob's Chocolate Flake, Rum Flake, all by Gawith, Hogarth & Co.

[drewmac]

The best ones I've smoked come from Uhle's in Wisconsin.

+1. They are a five minute drive from my place, which is both good and bad! My favorite Uhle's blend is Irish Aromatic. It has a pinch of Latakia in it which makes for an interesting smoke. It's typically classified as a crossover (half aromatic, half English)

+1 to Benjamin Hartwell 'Evening Stroll' - my all time favorite pipe tobacco.
+1 to Scotty's blends 'Butternut Burley'
and I'll also add Lane 'RLP-6'
