    Something Like Crumble Kake English #1, but Available in Bulk?

    Red Odessa, Red Virginias, Turkish, Latakia, and Perique. Instead of burley it has perique. I've never smoked either one, but they have a similar base.

    Nicotine Heavy Latakia Blends

    Try Billy Budd from C&D.

    Orientals Anyone?

    Some Oriental blends that I enjoy are, Cordial and Star of the East Gold and Stratfordshire (not so much oriental heavy, but tasty and balanced) from C&D. From Sutliff BSOSm, BS 759, and 965 matches, TS24 Blended Turkish Ribbon.

    English Blends with Little to No Latakia ?

    Try Oriental Silk from C&D, the latakia is replaced with perique. Or, Star of the East Gold (also by C&D), it's SOTE with the amounts of Latakia and orientals switched.

    Scottish Blends - Any Favorites?

    You should try C&D Cordial A smooth blend of Virginia, Turkish, Latakia and black Cavendish. Notes: Reminiscent of old Dunhill Aperitif

    A Pretty Good Mixture

    Last week I was perusing my cellar and came across a couple of blends I wasn't crazy about, They are C&D Oriental Silk and C&D Star of The East, OS didn't have enough orientals and SOTE had too much latakia. I basically mixed them in equal amounts. Man, it was pretty dang tasty and smooth (both...

    Sutliff Tobacco Co. - CA-100

    I had a bowl this weekend of the CA100, and it's not the same. The match has a musty floralness (or is it a floral mustyness) from the orientals that the CA100 lacks.I'm not too upset because CA100 is pretty tasty and I think it will age well. But I still want the match blend for my cellar.

    Sutliff Tobacco Co. - CA-100

    Does anyone have experience with this blend? I recently ordered a lb of Match Crown Achievement, and the bag it came in from the factory has a label that says CA 100. The vendor placed a label on it as well saying Match Crown Achievement. On another vendor's site, who sells CA 100, as well as...

    English Recommendation?

    C&D Super Balkan C&D Cordial C&D Stratfordshire C&D Star of the East Gold Match 20 (965) Match BSOSM Match 759 Match Crown Achievement To me Balkan Supreme is too lat heavy, I barely taste anything other than latakia (my 1/2 lb is from 2017)

    Unique Tobacco, please?

    Black Velvet from Torben Dansk, flavored with Guinness and champagne.

    Oriental

    Balkans are my favorite. C&D Star of the East Gold, light in latakia. For a little more latakia (and some sweetness) C&D Cordial. I also recommend Match blends for Balkan Sobranie and BS 759. A really good full bodied balkan is Super Balkan from C&D

    Sweet English

    Try Cordial or Stratfordshire from C&D. Also pick up an once or two of Match 20 (the match for 965).

    I Want to Smoke a Campfire

    Straight Latakia is not as strongly flavored as, say Pirate Cake or Star of the East. I have (and smoked) all three. Straight lat is mellower than either blend.

    Missing Frog Morton On The Town

    Cordial and Stratfordshire from C&D might scratch that itch. You can taste the Orientals and they have a bit of sweetness.

    I Want to Smoke a Campfire

    Give H&H Larry's Blend and 10 to Midnight a try. I was going to suggest Old Lodge and Pine Grove, Scotty's blends from P&C, but they are no longer available.

    My Mixture 965- a Review

    If you like 965, you should try the match blend, as well as Stratfordshire and Cordial by C&D. I have all four blends and they are all good. Each one is a little bit different, but they are all good, and come in bulk, so you can sample an ounce or two without spending too much.

    Tobacco Blend of your Dreams

    Have you tried Peter Stokkebye 313? If so, how does it compare?

    Sutliff 523 Voodoo Queen

    Does Voo Doo Queen have any orientals in it? I thought that it was basically Mocha Slices with latakia and perique added, but every place Igo (P&C, SP,TR and Tobaccopipes) say it is only burley, virginia, latakia and perique.

    Virginia, Latakia and Perique blends

    Try Match 20, It's a match to the Murry's blend. Or just find a good Va/Per and get some blending latakia
