I've done some searching and have found a few, though not all that many. I'd love some recommendations for aros that include latakia. I'm pretty open to flavors, but not chocolate. Machlochain is very intriguing to me but the price of shipping off putting. Thanks in advance.

Wilke Lizzie Blood Red English and No. 5 may be options.

double the Edward G. Not even under this category but just as a great blend period. Also the Kramers cross over blends are pretty darn fabulous and enjoyable.
+1.
Country Squire Hunting Creek and Northwest Trek as well.
Sutliff Burma Road is decent too.
Sutliff Aromatic English is fabulous! Also Partagus and MacBaren Solent Mixture I find very tasty.
Well, Bobs chocolate flake is far closer to cocoa than chocolate, does that get a pass?
These two compete for my all time favourite tin note:

Macbaren Plumcake.

Bengal Slices has a bit of licorice flavoring.
Another vote for Edward G.

+1 for Hunting Creek from The Country Squire. Leans more aromatic than English, but I has Latakia in it. It doesn't really have a noticeable flavor to me, just kind of sugary Cavendish scent with some smokiness in the background. It's pretty good, though I wish it were a bit "fuller".
If you ever find any, Esoterica Tobacciana's 'And So to Bed' is great. It's pre-aged and very smooth, with a tastefully done apricot topping that goes well with the latakia.
I have had and so to bed, and you are right it is very well done and quite delicious. It ended up being one of those that while I was smoking it I knew it was great, but when I wasn't, I had no urge to grab for it over many others. So many blends end up like that for me.
I grabbed some Sillems Black and EGR. So we will see. Loving all the suggestions though, this thread will be a good reference. Thanks to all who've written and those that will.
If you’re open to mocha as opposed to chocolate, there’s Sutliff’s voodoo queen - I got raspberry in there from time to time too.
Also revelation (sutliff) or epiphany (c&d) for another burley based option.

An under the radar blend is C&D Brigadier. It slightly reminds me of Edward G.
Uhle's Raiders Blend
The description from Uhles.com:
"This project, created in honor of a local Smoking Club, is a spicy twist on a classic dessert: cherry pie with a tang. Ingredients: Cherry Cavendish with a “spec” of Latakia."
I personally don't care for cherry aromatics & I'm not a fan of Latakia blends in general but Raiders Blend hits the right aromatic pipe blend buttons & is uniquely delicious.
