I tend to smoke both Aromatics & English...not to mention Vapers.
My hot pick for Aromatics right now is Sterling's "Country Club." It has a wonderful Baker's chocolate taste like a rich dessert - without the goop or over the top sweetness. The Aromatic taste doesn't overwhelm the Blend and so that you feel like you are really smoking "Tobacco." This one also goes great with a cup of Joe.

My number one far and away favorite aromatic is Peterson's Connoisseur's Choice. Great casing of tropical fruit, rum, and vanilla. It's a better dessert than any ice cream, cake, or pie. The casing flavors mesh well together along with the leaf blend of Black Cavendish, Red and Golden Virginia, and a luxury broken flake. Tastes great, no tongue bite, burns evenly and usually to the bottom of the bowl, and my fiance loves the room note and how the smell lingers in my beard. One other aromatic I have to recommend though would have to be McClelland's Premium Aromatic Best Of Show. That one has a great nougat casing with hints of caramel as well. Very tasty smoke and very pleasant room note as well.
To throw my two cents in, I agree that Lane 1-Q, W.O Larsen Signature, Mac Baren 7 Seas blends are all excellent choices, I would also put forth the following:
Villiger 1888 Mid Day - Like smoking toasted marshmallows
Samuel Gawith Fire Dance Flake - If you can find it, it's got some wonderful berry notes and is in flake form which tends to smoke cooler
Rattray's Bagpiper's Dream - an excellent blend that tastes just like it smells with a delightful cognac flavor that hints through
Mac Baren Vanilla Cream Flake - this crowd pleaser smokes cool due to its flake form and goes great with a cup of coffee or a grasshopper (cocktail)
G.L. Pease Barbary Coast - while this falls somewhere between an Aromatic and a VA/Per, it's nutty fruit makes it a pleasant smoke
CAO Moontrance - Another crowd pleaser that tastes as good as it smells
There are plenty more, but this list should give you something to start with.
Happy piping!

For tins, I enjoy Erinmore Flake. I also am a big fan of Boswell's Berry Cobbler, taste the rainbow!
My top 3 choices would be (in no particular order)
Lanes 1Q
Peterson Connoisseur's Choice
Dan's Sweet Vanilla Honeydew

I'm a real novice when it comes to smoking aromatic tobaccos; but one thing I have learned, from Milton M. Sherman's book,
All About Tobacco, is that flavored cavendish style tobaccos focus on delivering taste to the smoker,
whereas the cased Burley blends seek to impart a pleasant aroma in the air (not easy for the smoker himself to detect).
To the extent that I've dabbled in aromatics, I found that to be pretty much true. Hope that helps.
