Flavor Intencity

Try Top Black Cherry; it is supposed to have true cherry flavor.

This is a big reason I don't smoke many aromatics. Hardly any at all.
H&H Burley Kake is about the only one I really enjoy. Sutliff Rum & Maple actually has the maple flavor it advertises.

But most smell great and taste terrible to me.

I have heard that Dan Tobacco makes the best aros. I'll get around to trying Sweet Vanilla Honeydew eventually. I've heard its great.

This is normal. Aros seldom have any flavor. They always smell better than they taste IMO.
Get yourself a tin of 1792 flake. That has flavor. It's topped but it's far from an aromatic - it friggin reeks.
Dunhill Nightcap has flavor - lots of good flavor IMO. Room note on that one reeks too.
GL Pease Gaslight is good - lots of flavor there. Again, room note reeks.
Been enjoying Sam Gawith Chocolate flake as of late. Don't look for the chocolate flavor tho, it's barley there if that. It's just very nice, smooth tobacco flavor. I half think 'chocolate' just refers to the color of the flakes.

If you just can't leave the aromatics alone, pick up some Dan SVHD like has been mentioned. Drew Estate 7th avenue blonde is a good one too.

Yes the air freshener thing has been my experience with aros for the most part. They smell good for other people, and have very little in way of mouth feel or tangible flavor.

Latakia is a "aromatic" too, in the sense that it's super fragrant-- ya just might not like it !!

Someone sent me a couple bowls of Tsuge First Day of Spring and Summer Daydream. Seems they had a good amount of taste. IMO aromatics always smell better than they taste, and non-aromatics taste better than they smell.

Subtle is the word, you gotta take it slow and easy! Carry on Sarge.
