After trying Latakia mixtures with some topping I came to the conclusion that I abhor them, the only exception being Dunhill Mixture 965 that has Black Cavendish but I seldom smoke it anyway.

That would make sense as to why it doesn't bother me but a sweet topped Latakia mixture is really not enjoyable. Latakia by itself, when well mixed with other tobaccos, example G. L. Pease some C&D and the Murray Dunhills, hits all the right flovors.
Balkan Supreme has it as well. As much as I pride myself on little visible smoke, that one is hard to keep contained.?

I tried Bald Headed Teacher and hated it. I'm going to try Black Frigate, which a few have mentioned. So I'm undecided on crossing aromatic with English right now. With that said, more power to anyone that likes this cross-over genre.

I'm generally not an aromatic smoker, and I'm generally not a smoker of blends which contain Latakia, but I will always have some Cornell & Diehl Old College on hand. Sometimes it just really hits the spot.

Not just you. Cult Embassy, also a Lat/Vanilla aro, has been a constant in my rotation this summer.

Mostly yea, except the ones that are too heavy on the aromatic side. Sillem’s Black is my favorite one. I also like a 75/25 mix of SPC Plum Pudding and Sutliff Creme Brulee or Molto Dolce.

Kramer's a Blend for Cary Grant. It's a little more English than Aromatic, but it's still a great smoke and you can get it bulk on the cheap.
