Sweetest English Blend?

[GreatWhiteNorthPiper]

Hello all,

As I continue my exploration of English blends, I'm discovering that I like those blends that are a bit sweeter on the palate. So I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good English or Balkan that has a nice sweet note to it. Thanks so much!

One that you can still get your hands on a bit longer is Sutliff's SPS-17 Lavish English.
It's billed as an Aromatic English, but unlike their 504, it is decidedly more English than aromatic. But it's got justtt enough aromatic to give it a gentle sweetness.

As for Balkans my favorite sweet touch is Magnum opus... the added black cav gives it an awesome sweet undertone that melds with the orientals like heaven... but that one is now definitely already harder to acquire.

SPC Plum Pudding?

Kramer's Blend For Cary Grant is a favorite of mine.

If you want sweet, there's Peterson Old Dublin which contains some flavored Black Cavendish (a really good blend!) and you can try Sillem's Black, which is an English/Aro crossover.

Samuel Gawith Perfection is a mild crossover English that may be suitable.

Balkan Sasieni and Stokkebye English Luxury are both pretty sweet.

I rather like Rattray's Accountants' Mixture. It's sweetness is not treacle-like, but subtle, and to my palate is juuussst right!

I don't smoke many aros but I do like The Country Squire's Northwest Trek and Hunting Creek, and you can purchase them in single ounces since they sell in bulk.

I also like sweet notes. I find it in GLP Quiet Nights...along with penty of lat and what seems like a sizable dose of juniper.

Try Piccadilly from GLP.

Yess. I definitely think Hunting Creek is one of their best blends. Caveat to OP's question, in that I'd personally describe it as being more aromatic than English.. but definitely a great, complex, standout blend. I believe they say it's actually the most intricate blend they sell as far as the number and types of different tobaccos that go into it.

Ah! Very true and great point to make. It is more of an aro. Thank you for the clarification!

Sutliff Eastfarthing is an aromatic English blend, very sweet.

Boswell’s Northwoods is too sweet for me and it has Latakia in it so that makes it a sweet English.

In my opinion, Wilke has some pretty great sweet English blends but I’m having difficulty recalling the names of the ones I liked because it been a long time since I smoked em as I’ve turned away from Latakia for the time being.

Another option is aging a blend with a decent amount of Virginia in it. I’ve opened Englishes with 5+ years that were very sweet. Of course the Lat had faded so it was a completely different blend than when it was fresh.

C&D cross eyed cricket is a favorite of mine I love English blends.

Yeah. Totally. Too sweet for me but might be perfect for OP.
