My first English was GLPs Lagonda... love it to this day. It's like rolling in honeyed amber with smokey incense and just the right "dry", not-too-sweet, rich, full, and creamy things going. Also right up there for me are Russ Ouellette's Black House, Smoker's Haven Exotique Mixture, and Lane's Crown Achievement. I did a personal best-of-throw-down challenge with what I was reading were the top 5 English blends out there at the time, and Black House came home the winner of that in spades! Enjoy!!
