Sour Vs. Acidic?

akumushi · 01-09-2010, 10:34 PM

After a holiday period full of wonderful CCs, I'm back to trying to smoke through my remaining NCs (to make more room for the evergrowing CC collection) and tonight I realized what it is about NCs that turn me off; even when they have pretty decent flavors otherwise, I often find that they often have a sour aftertaste, whereas the CCs are generally more acidic on the tongue. Has anyone else found this to be the case? I wonder what the conditions are (soil, processing, etc.) that determine that quality in tobacco. Anyone know of any NCs that have that nice acidic bite to them without the sour?
