I am really conflicted about this list since I have about 10-12 blends that I like about the same. But if I have to choose five here they are. These are not in any order, I like them all the same.
1. Margate

2. Star of the East Flake

3. Plum Pudding

4. Black House

5. Peretti's Royal Blend

Blackhouse
