Sutliff 504C Aromatic English is absolutely fabulous for me
Daddy Gefftl is the shite! I love that stuff, it’s a very odd blend however, an acquired taste for sure.Definitely a yes! Latakia and flavour is one of the most under-estimated tobacco type imho.
My favourite all-day, the HU Daddy Gefftl, contains a very unique flavour and a hint of Latakia. Also the DTM Independence is a good blend with some Latakia and a decent casing on top.
I haven’t had the newer version of it but back when they were sourcing their tobaccos from McClelland I noticed a very strong vanilla black cavendish component to it, which in my opinion made it a crossover. I loved it when I first started smoking a pipe... could be very different now though.I
wouldn’t consider Northwoods to be an English/aro. It’s a pretty full bodied Latakia smoke in my opinion.
Jury is in on Hunting Creek. It’s amazing. Glad to find a bulk replacement for Conspiracy. I just conducted a smoke-off between Hunting Creek, Cult Conspiracy and Lane HGL. Hunting Creek finished first by a mile.I’ve been tempted to buy that one. (Hunting Creek) Let us know what you decide
Same. That's a bit like calling Navy Flakes aros.Love Black Frigate too but I don't consider it an aro at all.
See, I have a hard time with the labels, I guess. For example, I’ve never even considered ASTB or Pembroke to be aromatic Englishes. I would‘ve called them “topped Englishes,” and call the blends with the sweet Cavendish and Burley in them “aromatic Englishes.” Not arguing with your assessment, though. I like Pembroke and ASTB a lot. I don’t usually care for “Englishes” that contain traditional American style aromatic leaf (Burley and sweetened Cavendish), though. Although I do like the new Wilke’s Lizzie Blood Red English, which tastes like it falls into that category.Esoterica's ASTB, StIves, and Pembroke are my favs, but I also really enjoy E. Hoffman's Distinguished Gentleman, Sutliff Count Pulaski, Revelation match, and Wellauer's English(if there really is a wine topping, may just be the syrian effect).
But the very best English/Aro crossover I've smoked is a simple 2:1 combination of Balkan Supreme & Firedance Flake.
