My favorite blend this year is C&D Mad Fiddler Flake. I‘m glad this one gets so little love as I’ve already started buying some every paycheck to stock up.

My all day smoke is SWR (I also really do like SWRA) which is kind've a semi-aromatic so who knows. The few aromatics I've enjoyed weren't sweetened black cavendish-based.Careful, that could be a first step to delinquency!I love aromatics now but it took years to figure them out.
Uno is one of the most unique blends I’ve had in a while. Quite enjoyable.
Salty Dogs is a long time favorite. Excellently tobacco.
Recently tried Kendal Dark Vintage Cut. Wonderfully smoky. Like it better than HH Bold Kentucky. Not an all day smoke or even perhaps a daily one for me. But one that I'll savor several times a week.
Saint Espresso from Warped. I jus love this stuff.
I was tempted, then passed but still curious about this one. Probably the only release I maybe, kinda wish I had tried but figure it will come back.
Blockade Runner shot up my list this year. It ended up hitting all the things I was looking for in a simple, Virginia blend.
I’ve heard rumors it will be available in March.
I just remembered Folklore was this year, too. 3 way tie for me, then.
Yep. Scarecrow really touched all the bases for me as well.
Other than those, out of new, current it would be Bankside.
Still love my Wilkes and learning to love aged Virginias and young ones as well. Gone a little flake.
New (or new to me):
KBV Fallen Cherry
"Of The Year ":
Aged Capstan Blue

This is one of those ones I keep meaning to try but is usually sold out. I can't complain, though; I've harvested a good jar or two of King's Stride, so it is what it is.
That dropped in 2022: GL Pease Bankside
That I just jammed on this year: Peterson Elizabethan Mixture

It was a one time deal though may make an annual return like Scarecrow.
I’m not an aro guy, but scarecrow is excellent.
I really developed a taste for aged blue this year as well. Just a whole different type of sweetness than reds. F&T blends have been scratching that same itch for me lately as well.
Have you tried Sutliff Match Victorian? It is my opinion, and the opinion of many, that it is better than the original.
Seeing a LOT of Bankside in this thread! Finally popped a tin today. Will try after it breathes a bit. Looking like I may be glad I bet bigger on this one and got several for the cellar!
3 blends that 3 years plus of age have transformed them into favs for me. Sir John's Flake Virginia, MB HH Pure Virginia and Capstan Gold. MB Virginia Flake is edging up there.
More than anything I smoked Semois and Brunello Flake this year. Not new to me, but I don't think I purchased any new blends this year.
