Oppie, I can't give you any personal recommendations but...
If you check http://www.tobaccoreviews.com, there is an advanced search (upper right corner of the page) and you can select which tobacco's to include & which tobaccos to exclude.
It looks like there are a few to choose from, though most of them are categorized as Medium in taste. A place to start maybe.

Can't really think of any others that fit that bill quite so well.Jones, Thanks for the link. I don't know if I'm going brain dead or what, but I have smoked Epiphany before and I really liked it. I just plain forgot about. It's a remake of the old Revelation blend. Which was Einstein's favorite so they say. Thanks again. I looked through all my stock thinking that I may have had some left, but I don't. I too have to order more of it. I love the Tobacco reviews site. Didn't know they had an advanced search. LOL
Hey Oppie,
I have recently tried a couple of "new" tobaccos... new to me anyway.
The first is Escudo Navy De Luxe; it is "Full bodied Virginia blended with Perique. It is a little unusual in its presentation. It is rolled and pressed then sliced into "coins". My wife doesn't complain about the room note and it is particularly tasteful. The plum taste of the Perique is quite pleasing.
The second is Original Formula Balkan Smoking Mixture by Sasieni.
It reminds me of the blend that my old piano professor always smoked. It is an excellent and strong blend of Macedonia and Latakia and "Old Virginia". Very, very satisfying. The smoke is very rich.

Here you go.

They do their business over the phone.
I believe they have a toll free number.
Tell Skip and John I said hello.
I was just in there yesterday and they had it in stock then.

Oppie:
I just saw the advanced feature last night after seeing Mick mention it in the Latakia snob thread.
Pretty useful. Although the Wiki approach to blend descriptions and component lists is sometimes a bit spotty.
Lawrence: I personally thought Escudo was in about the same league as LBF. And actually I've now found I like PS Navy Flake the best of the 3. Just not in a cool looking coin.

The PS navy is a great buy and it is stronger than Escudo .I like Escudo but the flavors need a dedicated pipe .
I haven't but it's on the list somewhere. Seems folks liek it and some hold it as the best VA/Bur/per goin.
Since we all sort of stumbled into a Va/perish conversation in Oppie's Burley latakia perique thread. I just as well throw out G&H Louisiana Flake. Jesus this is good stuff. Same general ballpark as PS Navy Flake but better to me. Of course it should be better given the cost difference.
