Wanted to see what everyone's top English blends would be. I don't have a top five as I've only had a few.
Short answer: we don't. Long answer: Some people really don't care for the taste or smell of Latakia but want to be able to say they smoke an English blend, and blenders are happy to step up to try to accomodate them.if Nightcap were the quintessential English, then why would we need thousands of other latakia based blends?
