I haven't tried it, but Dunhill Early Morning Pipe, and Dunhill Night Cap is considered to be EMP's big brother, and from what I've been told here, considered by many to be the classic English blend. Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
I tell anyone getting onto English blends to try Dunhill 965, it is a terrific smoke and its the tobacco all other English blends are judged by.
Personally, I would not recommend 965 to anyone; I heartily dislike it. I would also not recommend Black House to anyone trying English style blends for the first time.
A lot of guys here like the Frog Morton series; those are crossover English blends that are topped. I don't care for them, but you might.
My go-to English blends are Peterson's Old Dublin (which, thank heavens, has not gained a following here so it is easy to find) and Sam Gawaith Squadron Leader, which unfortunately does.

I agree with Jud. If you want to try an English with latakia try Frog Morton on the Town. If you want to try one with heavy orientals (the original English) then try Magnum Opus by H&H. Then step on to the heavier blends that are commonly thought of as the traditional English: that is traditional in today's opinion.
I'm with Jud as well
However, full disclosure, I am not a big fan of most English (aka Latakia) blends. I did like Magnum Opus, Black House and Squadron Leader better than most others I have tried in the past. But still not enough to stock up huge quantities of them ;-)
