This seems to be an ever rotating list for me given that I smoke such a variety. But I'll take a stab at my current 5..
GH Bob's Chocolate Flake

GH Kendall Kentucky

C&D da Vinci

SG Full Virginia Flake

I've also been enjoying SG Christmas Mixture but that one is only a short term as I only picked up a couple of ounces.

1) H&H Mazatec
2) McClelland Blue Mountain
3) McClelland Frog Morton
4) McClelland Frog Morton Cellar

1. McClelland's Anniversary Special

2. Ashton's Gold Rush

3. Reiner Long Golden Flake

4. W.O. Larsen 2013
The fifth is still being contested and the W.O. Larsen blend might get bumped off at some point but the battle is still on with blends like G.L. Pease's Cairo and Two Friends Redwood.
