I'm really enjoying the SWRA. I'm not a fan of the Cult Blood Red Moon. I only keep the rest of the tin around do send out as samples for people that are interested since it seems to get so much love.Nhsmoker wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 8:22 am I have an order coming with sir walter Raleigh aromatic and cult blood red moon. Not sure if I'll like either but I am trying to expand my horizons. Plus if I can find a blend I can tolerate with a room note my better half will approve of, that would be a win
Help with finding an aromatic
Yeah I'm guessing the cult won't be my thing but I saw lots of people like it so I am giving it a try. I also have had devils holiday and don't think I liked that either (though I can't remember for sure) but I know that gets lots of love too. I am just going to try to buy a few different ones to sample just to see if my taste changes.kschatey wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 12:04 pmI'm really enjoying the SWRA.

Now Devil's Holiday is a fav of mine. A lot of people also talk about Exotic Passion, but that one's a dud for me, too.Nhsmoker wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 12:38 pmYeah I'm guessing the cult won't be my thing but I saw lots of people like it so I am giving it a try.

I think I remember devils holiday being too sweet and I thought I remembered it being goopy. But Ikschatey wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 1:50 pmNow Devil's Holiday is a fav of mine.

haven't had it since 2009 so my memory of it is spotty at best. Maybe I'll buy a tin and revisit it if you think my faded memory is incorrect.
I am just apprehensive about buying a bunch of different aromatics at once where they are typically not my thing.
I was thinking of doing a boswells sampler but I kind of want to find some that I can source multiple places.in case I can find some I like.

Reminded me of Lane's Holiday Excursion. TR calls it an American English, but it was an aromatic to me and a damn good one. It says still available, but I haven't seen it. Very good smoke. I should have cellared a tub or two. Shame on me.kschatey wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 1:50 pmNow Devil's Holiday is a fav of mine.

I wonder if "blame Wildcat" will become a theme here? - Fr_Tom
Got my cult blood red moon and swra in today. I an trying the cult first in a meer. In is OK I definitely get cherry (artificial flavor for sure but ok) and on the retrohale I swear I pick up a gentle spice of some sort maybe a super subtle nutmeg or something.
Probably not something I will order again but also not upset about the purchase. I will finish the tin.
Tomorrow will be swra I was more intrigued by that so we will see.

Swra. It isnt terrible but definitely not exciting to my unrefined palate. Again though I typically only smoke english blends.
Maybe I'll try it again without being back to back with another tobacco and without being a few beers deep.
