English Aromatic/Aro English Suggestions?

[AroEnglish]

My two favorite tobaccos are Sillem's Black and Boswell Northwoods, both of which seem to count as English Aromatics. Is there anything else out there worth trying? I've also tried 504C Aromatic English which has been ok so far but not something that makes me want to get more of.

I was a sucker and bought CD Black Frigate because sometimes I like to pretend I'm a cool Pirate, which I am not. On first trial BF started off like MacBarens Plumcake but with tons more sugar. It tries to finish like SG Navy Flake but with a ton of sugar. So if you like tons of sugar with your Latakia (I do not) I will gladly give you the rest of my Black Frigate, for free, I will even pay for shipping. I would rather suggest MB Plumcake or SG Navy Flake even though it is not an aromatic.
Cornell Diehl has shown me that I do not like sugary cavendish, or dripping with rum tobacco, or Cornell Diehl.

The only one I can think of is Lane HGL. I am not a huge fan of Latakia so I wasn't a fan of it, but it did have an aromatic type taste to it.

You got a bad tin, BF's nowhere near an aromatic.

I do like sugar with my Latakia and BF as you’re describing it sounds like it’s right up my alley.

I forgot I tried HGL. It didn't wasn't particularly memorable but it’s been a while now. I’ll give it another shot.

Cool skulls. Ever heard (I'm sure you have) of the 13 Skulls? Wonder if the legend is true or not, Smithsonian has one I believe.

Anyways, my tin of B.F tastes like a dumptruck of brown sugar, rum and latakia. Its such a contradiction that I am having problems to analogize how bad it is. Worcestershire sauce on chocolate cake maybe??
What should BF taste like?

I like hybrids too. Kramer's English Blend is a soft "English." Their Father Dempsey is harder. Both are good, according to my palate. Cary Grant's Blend might be agreeable to you, based on tin description. Haven't tried it yet.

+1 on Burleybreath's Cary Grant's Blend recommendation. Good stuff. You might also try SG Perfection which has a mild vanilla flavor.

Yep. The Mitchell-Hedges skull was what started my fascination with skulls as a child back in the '70s.?

Wow, yeah sounds like they went a bit heavy handed on that batch

How would you describe it?

A Scottish blend sweetened with rum versus an all out rum aromatic.

Sillem's Black is my favorite.

When I smoked English blends Two Friends Deacons Downfall was one of my favorites. It is a very complex blend. Only a true connoisseur can appreciate it's greatness.

Very tasty aro/English blends

+1 on the Two Friends English Chocolate recommendation. Kraemer’s blend for Cary Grant is a distant second for me - but it had more to do with PG content than the flavor (Irish Mist genre) - which was very pleasant.
