"American" Style English Blend Recommendations?

EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9)

"American" style English blend recommendations such as Walnut Match, Barking Dog Match, Country Doctor Match...... I'm really into these and would love to hear what kind of recommendation y'all have.

When I think of "American" style Englishes, I think of burley added to latakia, with all other leaves optional. A couple I like are Pirate Kake and Spilman Mixture. Pirate Kake defines latakia bomb and I like latakia. Spilman Mixture is unique and superb. There's some topping in it that is ineffable and mysterious and when the mood strikes, delicious.

Missouri Meerschaum American Patriot is a nice easy English with some bourbon topping. I would call it an American English.

L J Peretti Cuban Mixture.

Peretti D-9575. A touch of burley, a touch of latakia, maybe a little magic topping... it's delicious.

Americana, Adagio, Morley's Best, and Crowley's Best are some of the winners from C&D

I'm a fan of C&D Privateer...I think it fits the bill.

C&D have a number of American style English Blends with Burley and Latakia among other tobaccos. I like Tuggle Hall and Bow Legged Bear.

Whatever my local tobacconist sells. Love Latakia. Last time he said he could add more and next time I'll let him do it.

My two recommendations:

- Cornell & Diehl's Epiphany, which is modeled after the old classic Revelation blend. It contains Perique and Burley, which to my mind qualifies it as a thoroughly American English
- G.L. Pease's Samarra is more of a straight English, with Perique and no Burley. But it is designed and blended by Americans in America. And it is fantastic. And on sale at smokingpipes.com

I'll second RobB's C&D Tuggle Hall, and their Stratforshire (though it doesn't sound so American).

I enjoyed Cornell & Diehl Old Joe Krantz Red Label and Seattle Pipe Club Hood Canal. OJK Red is fairly stout, but not as stout as the regular OJK.

I'd like to try some of the Match blends for the classics as I haven't done much experimenting with this type of blend.

My favorite “American” English is LJ Peretti’s ~ D-7485.

Not to succumb to nostalgia for the unattainable, but the Nat Sherman 536 blend, English with burley, was about the most refined of that genre I've had. When Nat Sherman in Manhattan went out of business last year, Metropolitan took over their two aromatic blends, but for some reason did not continue with 536, which is a shame. I have one remaining tin I plan to enjoy to the nth. Another good blend of that kind is Home and Hearth Midtown series Chestnut, a match to discontinued Walnut. You can now sample it sold in a baggie to decide if you'd want a tub.

My favorites are John Bull, Lane HGL, and Distinguisned Gentleman. Super Value English Mixture is good. And as you mentioned, I recently discovered the Match Barking Dog. I like Match Blue Boar but can't find it now.

After trying a few of the American/aromatic english blends I can say that I have had better results adding a bit of 1Q to whatever english I already enjoy.

I’m sure this doesn’t work for every english blend, but it hasn’t let me down yet.

Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding Special Reserve. I was less than half way through my first 3.5 oz tin, when I purchased 10 more. The only reason I haven’t increased that number is that it’s coming out in flake form soon, so I’ll buy some of that and see if I prefer the flake over the cake.

Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River Special Reserve is also very good, or, if you really want it Americanized, get SPC’s Potlatch.

 

[isaac]

I’ll throw in Match Revelation
