You might want to try C&D Cordial-A smooth blend of Virginia, Turkish, Latakia and black Cavendish
Notes: Reminiscent of old Dunhill Aperitif

Sutliff Match 20- traditional "Scottish" blend. Have smoked both Cordial is a little sweeter than the Match, but to me both are very good/excellent. Another blend you should try is Stratfordshire by C&D. It's a well balanced, great tasting english blend. All three of my recommendations are available in bulk.

I welcome all other inspirations or effort to come up with a 'home clone' for this blend! a few puffs in and am thinking need to lean the other way, 2 LS to 1 SJP.. but that might end up too hevy on Lat and not enough oriental. It might end up having to be something like 50/50 LS and an oriental focused blend like Peretti's Tashkent or, well, i don't know just yet. If it can even be done... :sher:
I just got back into this jar after a year now, and it is just flat out Delicious! I'll be mixing up more of this with the rest of the St. James Park. If you enjoy latakia, give it a try. puffy
