Quincy, I have a tin of Artisan's Blend waiting to be opened (probably after I finish this tin of Nightcap). I really liked their Consumate Gentleman, glad to hear the next one on the list is worth trying.
Lord,
I usually smoke Eileen's Dream but I gave a tin of Moontrance a try not too long ago and also enjoyed it. Good choice. MacBaren's Mixture Scottish does it for me. It's mentioned sometimes around here, but I cannot get enough of the stuff.

Spyder, you my friend are one hardcore dude. The first time I smoked HB I didn't make it half way before it knocked me on my butt. To smoke it all the time... 8O
Cornell and Diehl Sweet English, a Latakia type English with a Caramel Topping. It's really different, and I smoke a bowl every day. C&D Craig Stark blend is another, an English with coconut, of all things. I don't smoke that as often, because the nicotine hit is overwhelming, lol. But the coconut puts a different twist on it. There are just too many others that I like that tend to fly under the radar. These two are probably my favorite off the main stream.
A VA that I've actually found to be mild and quite pleasant is Esoterica Dunbar. It's not talked about much but you can get an 8oz. bag of it at P&C right now.
El ricon de la pipa #1, amazing stuff, not even on the radar so sleeper probably.
I asked and received a nice sample of milk and honey by C&D from 4noggins.com. It's grown on me like crazy, it tastes like milk and honey, it's an aro in another dimension. It tastes like milk and honey but it's really strong from the dark fired Kentucky. I can see myself ordering at least a half pound of it, it's great as it is too without any cellaring. It's like a natural aro but with the strength to satisfy a Virginia smoker or vaper smoker looking for an aro that don't generally smoke aro's. It's also cigar like to me, in that it noticeably changes flavours 3 times, but something about is cigar like, if you had a honey flavored cigar that wasn't maduro.
Old world cake by McClellands. I recently got some Marlin flake as well from Rich to compare to a McClellands Old world cake. Marlin flake was decent, but compared to Old world cake it wasn't even close, without cellaring either one. I'm sure Marlin flake gets better with time, but I think if a Va blows another away in my opinion in the beginning, it's going to blow it away after as well after some time. Buying a pound of old world cake to cellar and smoke.

I also need to add McClellands Yenidje Highlander and their 5100 red cake.
Andrew I had never heard of RINCON DE LA PIPA No. 1 but once I looked it up it sounds great. I may have to buy some.
A blend made specifically for Rincon de la Pipa, a pipe smokers forum in Spain. A beautiful mix of Virginias, Burley, Izmir, Latakia and a touch of Black Cavendish

Oh trust me, it's a good secret. I suggest trying it how it comes and moistening it, the flavours are completely different when you add moisture to it. I prefer it moister than dryer, it's got quite a kick to it, kind of like EMP almost, but not flavourwise. When it's moist these lemon flavours come out, it's in it's own class. I got 4 ounces the first time then ordered a pound.
