Suggestions for Bulk Crossovers?

Hi!

I haven't smoked my pipe in over 6 months. I tried to have a bowl this evening but it was a bit strong for me. Also one of the reasons I stopped was because I was tired of drying my tin tobacco. Any suggestions for quality bulk-available blends that are a nice crossover between mild aro and light english? A bit like how Frog Morton was. I remember trying Bengal Slices once but hated the tobacco's presentation (broken flake I think its called)?

Thanks

Maybe a few bowls of Peter scrollable luxury twist , well worth a slow toke .

 

[Pit&Pipes]

Or PS English Luxury. Squadron Leader was my “Gateway English” back in the day LOL

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

MB Original Choice, Dark Twist, Scottish Mixture and Mixture Flake might work for you.

Wilke’s Lizzie Blood Red English is quite good. That’s the only genre I’m usually not too keen on, but I enjoy that blend.

As suggested ^^^^^^^^^^
Lane Ltd "HGL" is really just Captain Black-original, with a small amount of added Latakia. It's smooth and creamy, with a hint of smoke and pine, but not much at all. Room note is very pleasant. Good stuff.

You could also buy some bulk, blending-Latakia and add a pinch or two to your favorite aromatic mixtures ....and create your own customized blend(s). Have fun finding Nirvana

Cornell and Diehl Old College. Apparently I'm the only one who's ever smoked it, but I have a very high opinion of it as an English Aromatic.

However, don't go into it thinking you'll get McClelland vibes. You won't.

Ok, here's a couple of my favorites:
Whiskey Biscuit Gravy from online seller, Just For Him. (no it doesn't taste like whiskey, biscuits or gravy)
Hunting Creek from one of our sponsors here, The Country Squire.
Both probably lean a little more towards the aro and are fairly light on the latakia. But it is noticeable, and the other tobaccos are not saturated with humectants. Easy smoking and not a huge nic hit.

Kramers blend for Cary Grant is awesome and available in bulk. And is specifically what you asked for.

 

[wyfbane]

I love the Cary Grant blend. I also 3rd or 4th the Lane HGL.

You might like Count Polaski by Sutliff.

You might like Count Polaski by Sutliff.

Count Pulaski is my favourite crossover by far.
Mild to medium, mild nicotine and a light topping.

A kind and considerate member here is arranging a pound of CP for me here in Oz [where tobacco is outrageously expensive]

Another favourite that you might like @ahouston is Match Sunrise - a Dunhill Early Morning Pipe match.
Also from Sutliff, it's mild to medium, mild nicotine and like Count Pulaski it's got a light topping.

When I had a pound of each I smoked at least a few bowls every day so they disappeared rather quick.

Sutliff Eastfarthing

My bad, I thought Sutliff Eastfarthing was available in bulk. I forget that everything I have in jars didn't originally come from bulk.

 

[Magpiety]

A replacement suggestion: C&D Epiphany, which I would have suggested if I had thought of it before. This is a very accessible, non-biting blend. I think it has a rum topping, along with all the familiar flavors of an OTC with Latakia. Really an excellent blend.

Kramer's Cary Grant. Can't beat it.
