Smoking the same thing will definitely help you get to "know" a tobacco much better. As well as giving it multiple smokes later on after it has had time to sit around a bit.

When I get a new tobacco that I haven't tried yet, I will usually smoke 3-5 bowls of it before I review or pass any judgement on it. Durbar is a good example of this. The first 3 bowls of it I though it was dreadful and sour. I was ready to write it off. But around bowl 5 I got the blend figured out....matched with the correct pipe, the right moisture content, and a solid cadence. Now, I think it is really good stuff!
