Most aromatics are pleasing to non smokers. Which genre is most offensive to non smokers? Balkan/English blends, Vapers, Virginias, Dark fired Kentucky, Burley blends?

Heavy latakia blends would be my guess for most repulsive to non smokers room note.

Rum twist is the worst to me, followed by cigar blends. My wife objects to the sweetest aros.

I lost my taste for Latakia blends over a decade ago and will not touch it. I have my genres that I enjoy. Straight Virginia, Virginia/Perique, Virginia Burley/Kentucky. I have 2 aromatics I only smoke when non smokers come over to my house which is not often.

Latakia mixtures are not much appreciated by non smokers, which I find odd as often, they remind me of a firecamp. Who doesn't like the smell of a firecamp? Well, as long as the wind is not massively blowing the smoke at ya and you can't breathe anymore.
A mixture dominated by Dark-Fired Kentucky would probably not be appreciated, either, as it's similar to a Latakia blend.

To them, it is burning tires. This has been my experience as well. One night when we were sitting on the front porch, The Princess went from, "Oh, that isn't too bad" when I had a bowl of Visions of Celephais to covering her face and exclaiming, "Good Lord, what is that stuff?!?" when I lit a bowl of Plateau of Leng.  |

*Yes, it was an accepted thing to smoke in class in those days, and right through my last graduate classes in the mid-70s in fact. It wasn't until sometime in the late 80s that my then workplace went smoke-free.
**Of that sort, I suppose I should add. |

Next time I'm at my local tobacconists', I will have to look for Plateau of Leng. Iä! |

Ah, you like that eldritch C&D series as well. Next time I'm at my local tobacconists', I will have to look for Plateau of Leng. Iä! Plateau of Leng used to be Mountains of Madness until Ken ran out of some Turkish varietals. Plateau of Leng has suffered a similar fate, and is now simply called Plateau. It's still really good! |
