Germain's Rich Dark Flake,
Rattray's Marlin Flake,
SG Squadron Leader,
SG ST. James Plug,
SG Kendal Plug and
Dunhill Navy Rolls.

There's six there. I'd also take a floral lakeland, probably GH Kendal Flake, they're not something I smoke often but a floral blend with the sun on your back is one of the joys of summer.

I like the idea of a floral blend for summer as I’m in FL! Have you got any others you like?

Good lists! I'll take a different tack and list characteristics that I use to select tobaccos:

1. Blends or single leaf that are consistent in flavor and smoking characteristics
2. Blends that require fewer relights and burn evenly
3. Blends with fewer additives
4. Brands and blends that can respond to demand and are generally not listed as "out of stock"
5.Brands that have wide distribution for the convenience of their customers and are widely available
6.Blends that have irresistible flavor and get smoked up
7. Brands and blends that are good value for the price

Great list yourself! Now what are your 7 blends that fit all those rules? Haha

Wow 50 tins open at once? I have 9! Not sure how long it’s gonna take me to smoke them so I’m contemplating moving them into jars. Is that what you do or you just leave them in the tins?

Of course! I’m definitely interested in what your secret tobacco cellar holds
