Looking to place another bulk order and wanting to try some non aromatics!!

So far the only non aro I’ve had was C&D autumn evening!! And I loved it. Smoked two oz

In about 5 days lol! And it’s out of stock online so hopefully the local B&M still has some
And for tastes I still have a lot of exploring to do but I know I like Turkish blends as well as natural taste of tobacco

Maybe some strong blend and some mild. Would love to try some English blends!!
I’ve been told that the wrong blend can turn you off to a certain type so I figured I would ask for some suggestions

Based on personal experience!! So far since. I started 3 weeks ago I have about 4 lbs jarred in the closet so I won’t be ordering a lot

Just a few oz of 5 or six blends to get my feet wet and if I like them then I’ll hoard them as I’ve been doing!! It’s my nature lol. Like a security

Blanket I have to have some squirreled away!!

Dunhill 965 is the best English I have tried, but it's going away fast.

Peter Stokkebye Luxury Twist Flake for a Virginia, Luxury Oriental Supreme for an Oriental, Dunhill 965 or Pease Westminster for an English, Scotty’s Butternut Burley for an Aromatic burley, and MAC Baren HH Latakia Flake, HH Burley Flake, and Orlik Golden Sliced for Flakes. All great beginner blends with great smokablity.

Thank you for the suggestions!! I may see if the local B&M has some one oz samplers

Of the above listed to try and see which ones I like b4 I order some in bulk!! I already have a decent stash

But I’m a hoarder by nature when it comes to coffee, tobacco and guns/ammo lol!!

Try Russ’s great creation John Cotton No. 1. It’s a mild English with lots of very good Virginia and Oriental flavor. It is also the first rung of the ladder that takes you to John Cotton’s No. 1&2, then Smyrna and of course on to everyone’s favorite Bengal Slices.
Caveat: I was involved in bringing these blends back to market, so my opinions are somewhat biased!

Uh, C&Ds Autumn Evening is very much an aromatic. That top dressing is quite evident and much to the forefront in the flavor profile. There are some nice natural leaf flavors, but the star of the show is definitely the top dressing.
I'm not a fan of English blends, so I can't help much there.
If you're looking to try out Virginias give Capstan Blue a go or HH Pure Virginia or Dunhill Flake or Dark Flake. If you're looking for a VaPer try Escudo or Luxury Bullseye Flake. If you're looking for Burley definitely give HH Burley a go.
