In the English/Balkan category, I recommend Red Rapparee from Rattray’s only because one of the cigar folks at Smoking Pipes (Taylor Caldwell, I think) compared it favorably to smoking a cigar.
I personally like Habana Daydream from C&D, which has cigar leaf and a little Latakia as a condiment.
Something else quite different is Mad Fiddler Flake which actually has cigar filler leaf (Kasturi) along with some kind of spice-laden sauce that adds more of a light topping note as opposed to being more heavy-handed aromatic. It’s full and strong and complex. (Dreams of Kadath in the same series is a plug that also has Kasturi and is quite strong in the nicotine department.)
Hope that helps.
