I hope I don't get run on my first day with this question 
I understand that aromatic vs non is often a heated debate and I have no opinion but I assume it's like an EMS wrapper vs a maduro wrapper on a cigar, or even worse, an Acid cigar vs a real cigar. And I understand that aromatic is the more heavily sweetened/flavored tobacco.
My question is how do I know if a tobacco is aromatic or non, they all smell awesome! I have dozens of jars, tins, and bags of stuff but I don't know how to try aromatic vs non to see what I think?
If I listed some of what I have could you tell me a good non-aromatic to try?

I always look on Tobaccoreviews.com! Even non-aromatic blends often have a slight casing for added flavor, depending on what the blender was going for when developing the blend.

If it smells like tobacco, it's likely not an aromatic. If it smells like cherry, apple, vanilla, peaches, rum, maple, etc … it's an aromatic.
YES!

Yep … you have lots of aro's!
I'm not going to look up all the ones that I don't know, which is several, but have highlighted the non-aro's that jump out at me. Something like University Flake has a light casing but is still mostly a tobacco flavor … semi-aro some may say.

... And you're planning to get rid of most of that?
I would put them into tobaccoreviews.com too. You'll get an instant result. I'm not sure of many in your list so I can't really comment.

What is the disease you guys call it with tobacco and pipes?
I will sell most of that simply because I am a cigar connoisseur to some degree and I will always be. If I get hooked on the pipe again I can always buy more tobacco which I remember being pretty fascinating! LOL

Other than the mountain of stuff I already don't know FDA deeming regulations. When they go into effect, most likely any blend developed after 2007 will not be on the market, plus who knows about internet sales, and aromatics may be a thing of the past. That's it in a nutshell. |

Please...somebody tell him about the coming FDA regs and possible banning of internet tobacco sales...I don't have the energy.
Thanks, we got to it about the same time.

Other than the mountain of stuff I already don't know In a very basic nutshell... The FDA are trying to clamp down on tobacco blending. If or when it happens, a lot of blends will stop being produced. Prices may also rocket too. If I were you I would hold on to what you have. |

Thanks! Believe it or not I am trying to digest everything that you folks say.
I might have made a lot of progress tonight! I smoked a bowl of StoneHaven tonight in my Peterson Standard System 303 and the tobacco was way, way, dryer than "I" thought was normal and it was one of the best pipe experiences I've had.
High hopes!

When did flavored tobaccos start being called aromatics? I know they are now, but in the early '90s when I first picked up the pipe, aromatics were blends that had heavy scents like orientals, latakia, and some Virginias. Vanilla, chocolate, cherry, and so on were just called flavored blends.

As far as selling the tobacco... There's a saying I've read on here a lot: "tobacco will never be cheaper than it is right now." That's probably true for a number of reasons. While it's usually used to justify/enable the purchasing of more tobacco (and its certainly helped me  ), I guess you can see how it applies from a seller's perspective. I wouldn't be in a big hurry to sell what you don't want to keep.. you may find it worth a boatload more in a few years. |

I wouldn't be in a big hurry to sell what you don't want to keep.. you may find it worth a boatload more in a few years. I am absolutely certain you are correct but I probably have enough to smoke a bowl or two a week for over 20 years and if I live that long it's unlikely that I will be smoking. My first love, cigars, will be 75% of my smoking and I only smoke once or twice a week. That being said, I will see how bad I get the bug this time before I unload the tobacco, the pipes are a different story, I don't need 40 pipes, I hope 
Back to one of my earlier questions, is age on pipe tobacco always a good thing? With cigars, they tend to marry the harsh flavors and become more mello, they burn perfectly, and even a cheap cigar with 10 years of age can be a very enjoyable smoke.

LOL Before you sell your collection, make sure you research those blends that are no longer made such as the McClellands. There is no point in having to pay insane eBay prices for those blends, should you get into pipe smoking and decide you want to give them another look. |

That is pretty much true...aging helps mostly the Virginas...lats, not so much...although it will mellow out the lats....burleys will also mellow...aros on the other hand may loose some of their flavor...maybe.
Still your best bet is to hold on to what you got....you most likely will get more $$$ for it in another couple years.
