This is a blend I wasn't familiar with until just now reading the reviews, and it sounds wonderful.
In the fruity vein, you might try Cornell & Diehl's Captain Bob's Blend. That has a jar note of grape kool-aid powder that is a little strange, but it smokes wonderfully and has a fantastic slightly sweet flavor that doesn't entirely mask the tobacco. It's not a Virginia-forward smoke like Delta Honeydew appears to have been, but it has a fine array of burley, virginia, Cavendish, and even some latakia. I've shared Capt. Bob's Blend with many pipers who have been as surprised as I was at how good it really is. And it's inexpensive as well, worth getting a little to try for yourself.
I'd even be happy to send you a sample if you'd like! DM me if you are interested.
