That's tough to say, because they can vary. And they can vary
wildly.
Red Burley is a little on the gruff tasting side, it's got a strong upfront... hard to explain, kind of a 'grit' taste to it. It's not a "room clearer" flavor, that'll stink up the block or anything, but it's got kind of a woodsy, maybe grassy kind of taste.
But then you've got sweet, almost candy-like sweetness tobaccos - Desert Ship by FA or Turkish Tobacco by Flavorah (they taste roughly the same) come to mind.
Then you've got your "room clearer" vapes. I'm a fan, my wife is absolutely 100% not. Ones like FlavorWest's Honey Oat Tobacco,
tastes awesomely strong and punchy, very much like the name states, with a touch of sweetness - but everyone in a five-block radius of you is going to go "oh, uhh, hmm... outside, maybe, please?"
Then there's the very, very subtle ones like FlavorWest's Coumarin Pipe Tobacco, INW Vanilla for Pipe (which is my numero uno favorite at the top of the list, but it's (I think) being discontinued, so I'm using it sparingly these days).
Then there's the NETs (naturally extracted tobacco flavorings), and that's a whole 'nother ball game.
And then the additives, like FA Oakwood, FVH Oak Barrel, Tobacco Absolute, that kind of stuff that can add a twist, a punch, a karate chop to an otherwise staple flavor that you've become accustomed to.
I dig the spectrum of synthetic tobaccos. A lot of folks out there hate em. Only way to know is to give one of them a sniffer test and see if it's something you'd enjoy putting in your lungs over and over and over again. I'd say, though, don't let one taint your opinion of all of them, they're quite varied and different from each other.
If you wanted my personal recommendation, I'd start out with Flavorah's Cured Tobacco. It's about the best synth-tobacco I've ever tasted. @ 4%.
Ones like FA Cigar Passion, Shade tobacco, Perique, again all very different from each other, kind of in fields of their own to be honest. Perique is a fave of mine, it's a high-note, peppery kind of tobacco.
Yeah, hard to recommend certain ones, because they're very subjectively favored or hated.
Also, I can get
really wordy about the whole thing. Obviously.
