That's interesting. I myself like some of the areo's , not in the cigars though.I really enjoy the natural burley blends the most though.Then again , when I think of
areo's I'm thinking of those blends with fruit toppings, the ones I enjoy have chocolat or coffee, or nut flavors added.I would say start with a lite burley or virginia.
