I haven't smoked the pipe for almost a year. Just bought some samples at the local shop over the weekend.
Here's the thing, I can smoke a cigar, and distinguish the different flavors and characteristics of that cigar. I can pull out flavors such as anise, coffee, chocolate, earth, cedar, etc all very clearly. Why is it that all pipe tobacco tastes very similar to me? Actually, I don't really taste anything. I seem to "bite" my tongue often too, and I know I'm not smoking it too fast/hard.
Is the primarily point of smoking a pipe for the aroma vs flavor? I did try some tobacco about a year ago in which I could taste some faint flavors.
