Seeking HU Recommendations

[mingc]

For those who are experienced in the way of the HU, please can you give me some recommendations? My tastes are basically split in two. First, Lakelands--Ennerdale, Canon Plug, Grousemore, and second, Englishes--Margate, Commonwealth, Durbar, etc. I know I enjoyed GL Pease latakias too but I need to revisit them. Durbar is one of my all time favorites. HOW Field & Stream was also a favorite as was the topping on old Mixture 79 (but not the cheap burley). I also have very fond memories of Ferndown Black & Tan. I see Hans does quite a few latakia blends as well as florals. Actually, I see he does a few of everything. Your thoughts appreciated.

There are a lot of blends in the HU line up. My faves are Makhuwa, Director's Cut, Old Fredders, 5th Anniversary Blend, Indaba, Out Of Africa, and Zulu. jiminks has extensively reviewed them.

Yes, too many for a first encounter. I have been perusing Jim's reviews, of which there are also too many for a first encounter, as well as others! Thanks for the list.

Some haven’t even been reviewed. One I enjoyed that wasn’t even listed anywhere was pfeifen ecke. Read the description on the site, and if it sounds like you would enjoy it, you most likely would!

Might add Flanagan to your list

Yes, Directorś cut is really great. As is Zulu and my English HU pick; Fayuum kake. A brilliant crumble kake.
Makhuva is one of the few Burleys I enjoy.

If I had to pick five I would say: Director's Cut, English Breakfast, Edward G Pipe, Nashville County, and Zulu.
