Alright veteran pipers...perhaps this has been discussed and I’m not seeing it. But, I experience flavor declines as I go through certain bowls. Blends like Nightcap and OJK, or for that matter non aros that aren’t Virginia heavy...have good taste and some change as the bowl progresses. With aros, and some non... I get halfway or a bit more and the flavors seems to disappear.
Is it the nature of pipes? Am I smoking wrong? I do go slow and have learned the breathe method... but, I still get to a lacking flavor enjoyment part. Do I slow down? Speed up? I could use some wisdom on this topic.
i do like some sweetness, but I also really like some of the “English” blends if you will because of the flavor profile lasting. Burleys with perique and Virginia are also quite nice. I like the nic content of them as well. Perhaps I’m a non aro smoker trying to find too much in aros?
your wisdom is appreciated.
