My favorites for a very full English are:

Margate

Smoker's Haven Our Best Blend

McClelland 5110 (a little sweet) with an additional 25% Latakia

S.H. Exotique (a little more tang)

Penzance

Capt Earl's 10 Russians is really good, but not quite as full mouthfeel to me.
Haven't had a chance to try:

S.H. Cognac

Pembroke
Any thoughts on C&D, GLP blends most like Margate or OBB?

If you're looking to go all in on an english blend and absolutely love Nightcap, why not just get Nightcap?
There are English blends, and English mixtures...
You might just take some London Mixture and add a bit of sliced/rubbed Brown No. 4.

You can also make your own. Virginias, Burleys, Latakia and Perique are available online. Crazy go nuts.

He asked about bowlegged bear and no one replied. I really enjoy that blend as well as Pease Quiet NIghts and Meridian. No one mentioned Old Ironside. It is quite heavy on latakia.

Since GLP has been mentioned multiple times, Abingdon will give you a full face of Latakia Leather. I can personally vouch for that, and on the GLP site concerning Odyssey it reads: A huge Latakia blend, second only to Abingdon in forcefulness, but carrying more natural sweetness and deeper complexity.... I'm sure either would do the trick. I would imagine it is a matter of splitting hairs between a bit more Latakia here and a bit more sweetness there between the two.
