Tobacco Reccomendations

[harrier52]

I need some recomendations for some good English blends. Im a total noob when it comes to them. So far I'm completely addicted to all 4 of the Frog Mortons and would like to hear about something similar in strength. Bulk suggestions would also be great as i would love to start filling my cellar with this stuff.

PS Proper Engish , Engine 99 , and my beloved Rattrays RRR , 3Noggins and Black Mallory . 3Noggins is may dailey smoke . You may have to search for your perfect English blend , but you will have a lot of good smokes along the way .

I'm very fond of McClelland Blue Mountain, and Rattray's Accountant's Mixture is good as well.

Not bulk blends, but lately I've not been able to get enough of the Syrian Leaf. I would check out McClellands Three Oaks Syrian for a nice mild introduction to Syrian Latakia with some amazing sweet Va's and Orientals, or MacBaren HH Vintage Syrian if you want to step up the brashness of the blend.
If you really want to step up the Latakia content (but keep some complexity), I would highly recommend GL Pease's new blend, Lagonda. Kevin said it best - "...if this blend was a woman, I would marry it.".

For a Lat bomb that's more like a smoky punch to the face, try Hermit Tobacco's Captain Earles Ten Russians blend - just don't smoke it on an empty stomach! This blend has the added bonus that it keeps the mosquitos (and people) away.

Believe it or not i have a 50g tin of Lagonda i bought from my tobacconist last night just havent tried it out yet.
