From that site I'd recommend: This sampler.

I’ve ordered a couple of these and looking forward to sitting in my backyard with a nice cup of coffee and watching the grass grow. Thanks for all the advice and recommendations.

Welcome, I also recommend Sir Walter Raleigh and Granger for something that easily stays lit. They have a consistency that I find needs few tamps and usually no re-lights.

I'm in UK also. Try GQ tobaccos and order one of their sampler buys. It gives you a good range to try.

Welcome from Oakland, David. If you enjoy sweeter tobacco but want to branch out from aromatics, Scottish blends might be your speed. They are English blends with Cavendish added. I also rather enjoy the balance of sweet and sour in cigar leaf blends, I believe Robert Lewis makes one that's available in the UK.
