I’ve heard that the new tins of Dockworker aren’t the same at all, light in color and visibly different.
Being an English/Balkan fan primarily, I really like Balkan Passion. Asmara is also good.
In no particular order:
Nashville County
Louisiana Broken
Asmara
Makhuwa
Director's Cut
Note that this is based on tins from 6 years ago. I can't speak to more recent production.

I’ve had quite a few but for me Flanagan is about as fine a blend as I have smoked period. It’s just magical and complex and mixed just right.
Haymaker originally didnt make it off the chopping block. When HU sold its distribution rights it was initially cancelled with all the other non paint can blends.
Maybe it will eventually make it to the US.
I forgot Louisana Broken Flake in my list. Its some nice stuff.
HU Makes up the majority of what I smoke.
A tin of dockworker
The flake is also folded, haymaker also has this: very annoying.
I have never had the earlier dockworker but when i see images of it i refuse to believe its the same tobacco.
Haymaker ditto, but idc i love the current version.
HU is complicated
There is the camp that has had the old blends that supposedly changed when Kopp took out a lot of Perique
I think they may have put it back via HU demands
Next we now have shipments to the US
Some think that its not the same as the EU version.
Unfortuantely there is no consensus and not enough buyers of the EU versions have tasted what now goes to the US.
I guess you grab a tin and you like it or dont like it.

Louisiana Broken is exceptional. It has been filling most my bowls lately.
Ok I didn’t realize they were also folded now, Dockworker used to be ultra fine rectangle flakes, here is mine.
A bit darker yes

If you like Lakeland-esque blends they have many great options with similar floral toppings as well. There are tons of them but off the top Sissinghurst, Ju-52, coming home, and many more.

Nyala was my favorite cigar leaf blend too until I had white horses... man I love that stuff.
I think I belong to a minority... not a big fan, at least as the hype is...
But I have to admit that since I like aromatics, as others mentioned above, Moroccan Bazaar is a fine blend, full of spices, smells as in an oriental market indeed.

Good call. I have just received the Untouchables so fingers crossed
