I've been smoking a number of English, Virginia and Balkan blends from all the usual suspects. However, I've not smoked anything from Country Squire. I'm interested in knowing what other people consider the top blend from Country Squire and why.

Cowboy coffee.
It’s got the words “cowboy” and “coffee” in it. Not much else needs to be said.

Shepherd's Pie. It is just a really great English blend, and reminds me a lot of GLP Quiet Nights.
Cowboy Coffee is my favorite for the thick smoky almost creamy flavor, and a nice lingering after taste.
Cornishman is my favorite English not a fan of Latakia, but it has just enough to enhance the flavor without the hideous smell.
Faulkner Flake is my all-time favorite Virginia the natural sweetness speaks for itself. Plus, I loved the look on the wife's face the 1st time I told her I was going to rub one out and smoke a bowl on the back deck.

I like Pilgrim's Muse, Baker Street, Cowboy Coffee, Shepard's Pie, Picayune Pancake, Tombigbee. Somewhat in that order. Haven't had anything from them I didn't like.
I haven’t had a lot of their blends, but can attest to the above comments. I picked up a blend called Toadstool that isn’t listed on their site(our pipe club we up there last July). I believe it’s a Scottish blend. Va, Latakia, Perique that they can probably blend up for you, if you ask. I say probably due to the sutliff debacle.
Shepard’s Pie, Indian Outlaw, Cowboy Coffee, and Tombigbee are my favorites. But I like several of their blends and it’s nice being local to them as well.
I jarred 1 and a half pounds, letting it age
Ran out of my daily routine jar, so I bought some more so I didnt have to break the jar open i am letting age.
Also mine was a pre-sutliff leaf shortage, I do hope they maintained the blend (which I am sure they did) post leaf hunting after Sutliff broke our hearts.

Do you guys think FF is just a PS rebadge? I think it used to be made by McC but changed since they closed. I asked a staff at TCS who said it’s custom made by Sutliff but we all found out Sutliff couldn’t make flakes and was just getting it from STG.
Haven't the foggiest I never smoked PS or ever gave any thought to who blends Faulkner. CS sells it and I like it that's all I really need to know.
Probably. I’m not a super-taster by any means. I’ve got about a pound of FF stored. Haven’t smoked any in a while, but remember liking it enough to order some to cellar. It’s probably just Sutliff 507 Virginia Slices.
Tried the recent batch of "Cowboy Coffee" this morning. It still stands the tests of time. Just as good as the stuff I bought when Sutliff was still selling bulk leaf.
Way to go Country Squire.
Damn fine blend that didn't loose quality!

George's Dragon (VaBur) and King's Highway (Va & dark fired) are my two favorites but I haven't had a bad blend from them ever. Tombigbee is a wonderful aro but Figgy Pudding is my favorite during the holidays. Cornishman is a lovely English blend.
I'd suggests starting out with just a 16-ounce pack of it. Anything less, you may be disappointed. I have been seeing it selling out often but comes back in stock pretty quickly.
I haven't been there in a while, so I'm assuming they still sell Hunting Creek which I really like. Slightly reminiscent of Frog Morton Cellar. I also like Shepards Pie, a nice English blend.
