I have not tried yet. Thanks for the recommendation.@Sam Gamgee, have you given Capstan Blue a try yet? If not, I figure it ought to be toward the top of your list, given the Tolkien connection.

Speaking from only 2 in house blends that I have purchased, I've found Strauss' Sleepy Hollow and Boswell's Northwoods are excellent house blends (actually smoking Northwoods as I type this). And from what I've heard around the YTPC and tobacco reviews, Northwoods is apparently pretty reminiscent of Frog Morton. Although, having never tried any McClelland blends, I can't honestly say so myself, but that seems to be the consensus.
As for Sleepy Hollow, anyone here know if Sutliff's Pumpkin Spice is a close match, or are they completely different?

Somewhere (probably an old thread on the forum) there is a collection of all the different names people have seen used at their local B & M for Lane's big selling blends - 1Q, RLP-6, BCA etc. I could walk into a shop and pick those three out from 20 aromatic jars by smell and sight.
