+1 on Louisiana Red. Another very good blend from Russ is Hearth & Home's Virginia Spice.
Barking Dog, Revelation, Balkan Sabranie, Virginia 507 Stoved, Morning Bayou, Black Irish X, all are great in my opinion.
Thank you kind sir, I have made a note of these. I appreciate your reply.
You're welcome. Black Irish X is very interesting if you like smokey blends. It taste exactly like grill charred beef. Someone here recommended it to me, and glad I listened. Comes in bulk and a twist. What ever you choose happy smoking friend!
I’ve got to try it after reading this in a review at SP.com:
“I'm not sure I'll ever think Black Irish X is delicious, but I can say I find myself craving its peculiar, deliberate foulness from time to time”
I’m still working on the tin of WarHorse Green I picked up, so I know that feeling!
Elizabethan Match has been renamed and it's now titled Match Victorian
I debated War Green and someone said it was a liquorish like blend. Which I used to hate but now I like. But I already have some of those blends and don't want more. Is that true?
It’s definitely flavored with anise, I was looking for licorice flavoring then came across the thread with the story of the blending of WarHorse and had to try it.
Some seriously like it, I myself fall in the “craving its peculiar, deliberate foulness from time to time” camp
I can't name individual blends you'd like without knowing more about your likes beyond your liking non-aromatics, but I can suggest places to look.
Sutliff and Cornell & Diehl have really expansive bulk menus, and C&D especially has a good array of condimental bulk leaf to make your own mixes, like unflavored black Cavendish, cigar leaf, Turkish, Perique, Latakia, and various single leaf Virginias and burleys. These give you control to tweak blends to your exact taste.

I generally keep some Pegasus and Haunted Bookshop in jars.
Stokkebee Proper English as well.

I have the regular old Joe Krantz and the non blonde billy Budd and both are fantastic!
The Blonde lacks the latakia and to me has more of a spicy/incense flavor going on, but both are very good!
In late but i would also suggest trying the 515-RC-1
