Snakeseye, Boy have I been there.  I won’t go back to my early years but let’s look at the last ten.  I went through menthols like I was on fire.  I absolutely loved them, and then out of the blue I got so bunged up I had to give snuff up altogether. Bad move but I went back to cigars and the very odd pinch.  I started again with plain and then flavoured and did about 2 years avoiding menthols.  Thankfully, I dropped the cigars and started back to snuff.  What I find most amusing is that now I crave more menthol and the stronger the better.
