The One You Hate

What's that one tobacco or topping you can't stand.

drac2485

Mine is cherry.  It will make me sicker than....   I love any other berry but if there is cherry even being smoked by some one else I'll leave the room

It's anything with a strong soapy/perfume Lakeland essence. 

PipeProfessor

I don't have any I HATE, but I am not a fan of Cult Conspericy. I love the Abacus and BRM though!

crapgame

lakeland....i had a friend from england send me a bunch of tobacco and many of the pouches  were of condor and such..hated them all with that soap taste..cherry blends are off my list now..all taste too sweet and burn too hot..even after trying to cut them with non aromatis burley blends..

PipeProfessor

@crapgame, Cult BRM and Lane Dark Red are the only cherry blends that I will normally smoke. Many others really put me off as well.

C&D's Captain Bob's Blend. I like aros, but do not like this grape aromatic at all. I found it cloying and the reminded me of those cheap flavored cigars that some people enjoy. Not a fan.

judandhispipe

I don't like super-sweet aros at all. That's simply not what I want from tobacco.

I finally smoked some Captain Black Regular this weekend and as @crapgame described I think it had a soapy taste to it.  I'm curious if that is the tobacco or the pipe... it's only the second time I've smoked that pipe in about 8 years.

PipeProfessor

I tried Captain Black Regular and it's not my thing, I agree that it has a soapy taste. I'm interested in trying their grape blend for not other reason than its something different.

I haven't found any of the Christmas Cheer editions to be to my liking. I like other holiday blends, just not Christmas Cheer.

Haunted Bookshop scared the hell out of me

drac2485

@thewanderingdude Why did haunted bookshop scare you? Or am just not getting the joke today

thewanderingdude

@drac2485 Im not sure why really. I love burley blends, but HB really did not sit well with me at all. One of the few blends I couldn't even manage a half bowl of. It was a small sample of HB I received, so maybe the sample I had was off. 

drac2485

@thewanderingdude As soon as I posted I went and looked at the reviews on it and it seems to be a love it or hate it blend. Seems that a lot think it has a very high Nic kick. Hmmm... I'm now wondering if I have some cellared. Natural blends that people seem to hate I seem to like.

thewanderingdude

@drac2485 I really want to like, just on its name alone

Stanwell Vanilla, I found it to smoke incredibly sour. It is the only blend that stands out. My first tin of tobacco and it was years before I was brave enough to try another.

I usually shy away from Aros, 1Q is about the only one I enjoy on a semi-irregular basis and once in a blue moon McClelland's Raspberries in Cream.

Woodsman

It was Haunted Bookshop that got me back into Burleys. I won 8 oz. in a Pipe Chat sale and it was just the right note that I was looking for.

Corey562

Any thing cherry.

riobrusa

Cherry and VaPer.

RedheadedMK

Captain Black. I couldn't finish the bowl.

PhilosoPiper

Cornell & Diehl Chocolate Cavendish. Not particularly fond of aero's as it is and that blend helped solidify my lack of appreciation.

tomatobodhi

Half n Half. I hate it. It ghosts pipes horribly and I think it tastes like a cross between cough syrup and those chemical drinks we had as kids that came in grenades. I bought an estate that was ghosted with it and even after a thorough cleaning, I will only smoke overpowering blends in it.

If you like Half n Half, that is cool. *I* hate it.

Mangoandy

@tomatodohi - same. Not a fan, but someone said it has been re-blended recently. Still not interested in trying again.

I'll add to the critics of cherry and grape blends. Fake chemicals. I always feel like a Luden's cough drop is melting into my pipe. Blech!

Woodsman

The worst tobacco I ever tasted was P&C's Best of the Rest. It is made up from remnants that they have of brands of bulk they ship. Sometimes good, sometimes not. I lost.

bbrown626

The cherry blends my dad smoked smelled great when I was little, (Middleton Cherry and Paladin Black Cherry) but when I tried smoking them, it almost turned me off of pipe smoking.Dark Red and Cult BRM has changed a that - What an improvment.

bbrown626

@Pipeprofessor - I agree, Conspiracy is wretched, try Conspiracy Theory - same thing minus the latikia. 

Penzance

All aromatics are poison to me.

Captain Black cherry.....It's like smoking a cough drop

woofstick

5brothers I bought some just to try it because a local store always seemed to have some in stock. I think it was always in stock because no one else was foolish enough to waste their money on it.
