Mike, Old Ironsides I believe has the highest content of Latakia on the market. I believe I read somewhere that it contains 40%. I remember trying it back when I smoked English blends and could not handle it, way too smokey for me. That blend is for big time lat lovers.
Harris, it is definitely a lat lovers dream tobacco. Years ago me and one of my pipe smoking buddies at the B&M we worked at, used to plow through tins of this stuff. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find it anywhere. I don't know if they stopped making it or just isn't a big seller here in the states?
I do think that C&D may actually top the latakia content with da Vinci. That stuff is labled as being 75% latakia. I have no clue what the other 25% actually tastes like

1) McClelland
2) Hearth & Home
3) Lane Ltd.
4) Mac Baren
5) Boswell
6) Middleton ( Sugar Barrel, Prince Albert, ect. )
7) Williams Tobacconist (local B&M)

9) Dunhill
10) Sutliff (I guess)
Mainly the first 6 or 7.

The problem is when you add the "must have smoked at least 5 blends from that brand". But let's throw some out, in no particular order. If the blends are high quality, I will list the manufacturer, even if I don't smoke that many of their blends.
Peterson
McCranie
MacBaren
Samuel Gawith
Rattray
McClelland
C&D
Hearth & Home
Dunhill - With the caveat that I smoked most of their blends when Murray's made them.
