Dear English blend lovers,

Savinelli Dablone d’ Oro. Coming from Latakia, this will do.

Very much agreed

Have you considered something with some cigar leaf in it? I have Country Lawyer on my radar (haven't tried it yet).

I have some GLP Key Largo that is coming in the next day or so!

There are so many areas to explore coming away from Latakia but as others have noted darker G&H stuff has big flavor and a good amount of smoke and nicotine, Kendal Dark, Dark Birdseye, and Kendal Kentucky, can all be got in small quantities on the cheap from SP to sample. I like a lat bomb here and there but enjoy all the G&H stuff for a stout smoke daily.

I gotta tell ya, I just got that old dark Birdseye in and am working through my first bowl. WOW! This stuff is great and exactly what I was looking for. Its pretty stout indeed and has a great flavor a bit of spice and the room note is fantastic. This is a very welcome break from all the lat heavy stuff I've been puffing on. Thanks so much for the recommendation.

What are some non English blends to a new pipe smoker who has definitely taken a liking to English blends. I love the full bodied, earthy, woody, smoky profile I get from them. However, I'm looking for something also full bodied, but without the latakia, smoky note.

Thank you in advance!

Dark Birdseye
Kendal Dark
On edit I see you got some Dark Birdseye already - good for you!

I'd recommend using SP's Tobacco Locator. Use the filters on the left, of course.

How did I not know this was a thing. Thanks!

I can't even understand the question.
