I tend to smoke lighter to medium blends, but not really a great fan of the full-aromatics and/or OTC "codger mixes". When reading through many reviews that discuss the older, traditional aromatics, match-blends of OTC aros, etc. almost always mentioned are phrases like "overly cased with sweet vanilla, caramel"....."too wet"....heavy handed with PG"....tobacco will not dry out"....etc. etc.
The PG used as a humectant, is said to have an "off-taste" and can be overly sweet, thus, ruining the blend-in-question.
I have no idea just what PG might taste like when used in a pipe tobacco? How can I detect if too much has been added. I mainly smoke Lane Ltd HGL/RLP-6, and I am sure some PG has been added, but how much?
I want to intentionally smoke some samples of tobacco blends that are overly sweetened with PG, for contrast, and to train myself to detect the heavy handed use of PG. Can you help me and suggest some blends that are spoiled by too much PG, so I can try some. Help me tune up my "PG detector".
Thanks for any help at all.
