Difficulty finding pipe tobacco I dislike

[Emperor Zurg]

It seems the worst pipe tobaccos are usually cheap aromatics. Usually, the thing that makes them bad is lack of taste. However, even a cheap aro smells great when you smoke it, even though it has very little flavor. That can't be said for a Ron Mexico. Cheap cigars have loads of flavor - and all of it bad. I guess I'm saying that the subtlety (is that a word?) of pipe tobacco plays in its favor.

Tongue bite also plays in but some folks don't seem to get bitten by anything. If you're one of those, count yourself lucky.

There are exceptions: I tried C&D Autumn Evening and I hated it. Couldn't even finish the bowl I thought it tasted so bad. However, I've read plenty of commentary from others who would choose AE as a desert island tobacco they like it so much. So I could hardly say that AE was absolute garbage and don't try it. It's fine quality baccy, I just don't care for it. You may fall in love with it.
