If you're talking about full bore English blends, I'd second the recommendation for Maltese Falcon. I've never had them, but I believe some of the Boswell's blends have a reputation for being a bit aromatic as well.

If you're just talking any blend with Latakia in it, Gawith's Navy Flake would be a good choice, as would the Chocolate Flakes.

Take your favorite English and add a bit of good black Cavendish. Boom, done.

Bob's Chocolate Flake is pretty much the bomb but is quite light on the latakia, under 10%. English Luxury is another good one, very smooth, sweet, probably closer to 20% latakia.

Damn shame I don’t care for chocolate. I’ve read good things about Bob’s Chocolate Flake.
You will not get the taste of a Hershey bar from it. The "chocolate" is more of a suggestion in my opinion.
I tried it years ago because I LOVE chocolate.....I was very disappointed. Not that I didn't like it, it very good, but it won't cure your chocolate need.
