I’m going to have a bikini model sanitarium on my desert island.
the point was desert island.... you only get 1 blend
this guy gets it.
No!, No!, No!, the OP says Five Blends!
If it were only one blend, I'd have to go with Walnut
Ha! Haven't seen this title in years! Mine is whatever I have with me.
With all due respect, the OP doesn't know WTF he's talking about.
"Desert Island (whatever)" means one item that you will have to subsist on, forever. Five blends is a normal day in my car, or the usual trip to the B&M. We're talking sacrifice and suffering here!

I picked only one, but the OP said five, so I'm not sure what you are getting at, I guess I could add four more, lol - it's his fantasy.
Speaking of fantasies, you tossed in the three guys, lol, I'll stick with one gal.
Tough call, but Salty Dogs is a likely contender.
I carry 2 blends when I'm out, so if I ended up on an island, they'd most likely be:
1. Mac Baren Navy Flake aged 5 yrs.
2. SPC Plum Pudding.
To meet the scope of the OP:
3. Limerick
4. Conniston
5. Tinderbox (Tacoma) Waffle House

My single Desert Island Blend would be the Smyrna clone that I posted a few weeks back.
1. Haunted Bookshop
2. HH Burley Flake
3. Solani Aged Burley Flake
4. Bobs Chocolate Flake
5. Germains BK Flake (I will give alternate status to Dunbar here, although I am mostly a burley guy, Dunbar is the one Virginia I always enjoy. I will just hope the one jar I have will last me for the rest of my life
)
If I could be promised an unlimited supply, I could easily live on 5 blends, I could probably do 3 comfortably enough. Sadly, I lost my taste for latakia during a 2ish year hiatus from the pipe. Hopefully it returns one day, or I am gonna die with most of a pound of Pirate Kake.

I cannot say you arent missing out on a couple good blends, but if I had to choose a side of the pond based on tobacco alone, I might choose Europe. We can have all the Cornell and Diehl we can afford to buy, and all we want is G&W, SG, Esoterica, Solani, Stokkebye, Mac Baren, Germains, etc.
If you ever get a chance to have some sent, definitely try Haunted Bookshop and Briar Fox. C&Ds limited runs are usually pretty good as well, I still have a couple tins of Eight State Burley and various Sun Bears, they are fantastic.
Going by the OP's standard, my five would be (in no particular order):
GLP Stratford
GH Brown Flake Aromatic
LJPeretti D-9507
Dunhill My Mixture 965 (Murray's version)
C&D Guilford Courthouse
If I could only take one, I'd take D&R Windsail Silver and a crap-ton of rolling papers. I'd give up the pipe if limited to only one tobacco.
(For those saying a desert island selection can only be one item, there's a reason it's called "Desert Island Discs" and not "Desert Island Disc.")

naw you did right.
But your one failure was not choosing Samuel L. Jackson...... He knows what you said, and he will find you.
I should have picked Ginger - not sure Mary Ann will stop a bullet! "Say Professor again!"
Lots of C&D on these lists. I've not yet tried any of their stuff. Kind of overwhelmed by the amount of choices. Seems like I'm probably missing out. I'll have to rectify that soon.
Thanks everyone for sharing! I never had the pleasure of trying things like the old Dunhill blends in their non-STG Iterations or even McClelland's (I delved into the non-aromatic tobacco a bit too late) so I envy those of you who have! Happy IPSD everyone. It's almost over, but there's still time for one more smoke before midnight rolls around: three nuns walk into a bar....
