I don't really understand English blends.

I'm primarily a Virginia and Burley smoker. Though i started out with an English and an aromatic.

My first English was Early Morning Pipe. While I didn't take to it at first it grew on me after a couple bowls. I've smoked almost my whole tin and thoroughly enjoy it.

I bought a few ounces of Arango Balkan Supreme afterwards and loved it as well.

Now after those I've tried Nightcap, English Ernie-ental, and Squadron Leader. All of them I've smoked at least 3 bowl of, and I don't get much taste from any of them. Not a "hot air" taste, but very very very subtle flavor.

Like the different between eating cooked unseasoned chicken VS chicken with salt & pepper. What's different about EMP and Balkan Supreme? Advice is appreciated.
