When you guys say aromatics, does that mean when someone is smoking a pipe and it smells like sweet Cherry does the actual smoke taste like that too?

You know when cigar guys say, “notes of leather and raw sugar” they mean that it reminds them of those things. It’s all very subjective. There are times an aromatic will “taste” like its smell (Cult Blood Moon does this for me). Other times it doesn’t taste like it’s smell. Worse, sometimes it’s just a goopy mess. If you smoke anything too fast and too hot it will taste like hot nothing and later you will experience tongue bite.

Don’t fear the relights.
