Do you know of any preferences for tobacco you already have developed? For example, some of those blends have been known to have a decent sized nic-kick. If that is something you're trying to avoid, then you may want to articulate that before the members make a recommendation. Unless this list you've compiled is already narrowed by your preferences, in which case I would recommend:
Old Dublin.
Haven't tried any of the others. Happy buying!

i have a wide prefrence and willing to try new baccy, and my nic tolernce is pretty good.

Salsa, everyone's tastes are a bit different and everyone can recommend what they would try, but I think you would get better results if you gave a few examples of a few things you have tried so we can have a comparable basis as to recommend what we may think you will like.
If you just want straight recommendations...I have not tried any of those listed but I have tried a lot of Peterson blends and haven't found a bad one yet. I would say get 3 tins of that. One to try, one to cellar and try later and a third to either trade if you don't like it or an additional tin to cellar for even longer.

So far i have smoked moslty english blends, night cap is one of my favorites.

 

[lumberjakpipester]

+1 for Blackwoods Flake.

 

[spartan]

+1 Jackknife Plug

 

[metalheadycigarguy]

Definitely recommend McClelland Blue Mountain. One of my favorites.
To add a few others to the list; I would recommend any of these Peter Stokkebye blends: Luxury Navy Flake, Luxury Twist Flake or Balken Supreme. Or any one of these Samuel Gawith blends: Squadron Leader, Skiff Mixture or Perfection.

 

[foggymountain]

I de-recommend Blue Mountain. Old Dublin is OK.

 

[theboz]

Anyone have an opinion on Painter Hills?

 

[salsa45]

So far looks like blackwoods and blue mountain i will buying for sure...and i will probably go with jackknife..thanks for the helps gents.

For what it's worth, at this point.
I am a huge fan of Old Dublin. It is my go-to English blend, always in my rotation. I consider it a medium English, good any time.

Ashton's Artisan is also a very good blend, although not one I smoke often. It's got Syrian latakia in it, with, IIRC, just a touch of perique.

I have smoked Blackwoods Flake, and enjoyed it a lot, and intend to acquire some for the cellar. Blue Mountain is also very good.

Consumate Gentleman I did not care for - one of those light on the lat English blends - like SG Skiff, and, from what I have heard, Early Morning Pipe.

No experience with Jacknife Plug.

So, of that list, I can recommend 4 of the 6.

What Roth said.
Plus, I loved Blackwoods. Goooood stuff.
Howsomeever, Jack Knife Plug has the kick of a southern mule!
