1. Founding Fathers by C&D. It's pomegranate and a very cigarish burly. Feels shockingly evenly spaced between tobacco flavor and added flavor. Damn fine stuff.
2. EGR just a favorite period
3. Seven Seas Royal it's a very aromatic blend but as nuanced and complex as any tobacco forward blend. And it beats out Capin Black Royal just by being able to be dried out a bit (still suggest smoking it on the wetter side then my normal preference.) and it will get compliments for the aroma.

Okay, now I am really sold. And distracted enough from the F1 US Grand Prix, with Ferrari leading
, to read the review by Michael Kindt. Based on the hilarity of his review 
, I am definitely making a purchase. Thanks Mr. Bong!
I don't normally smoke aromatics other than those produced by Gawith, so I'm probably not much help here, but my favorties are:
GH Brown Flake Aromatic
GH Coniston cut plug
GH Dark Flake Aromatic
GH Brown Flake Aromatic
GH Coniston cut plug
GH Dark Flake Aromatic
Only three!?!?

"Honorable mention" is cheating! That's FOUR! I knew one of you cheeky buggers would find a way!
I guess I would consider UF a Virginia Flake with a light typing but not an aromatic.... great stuff either way.
I’ll play.
1. Mac Baren Vanilla Roll Cake
2. G&H Sweet Black Cherry Twist
3. Sutliff Voodoo Queen

Among USA Aromatics, although I have little to no experience with many of them(due to lack of availability here)most pleasing to me were SWRA and good old Mixture 79*
1. Eastfarthing
2. Alexander Bridge
3. PS Nougat
My absolute favorite is Orlik Mellow Mixture but I didn’t list it because it’s discontinued. But it’s very good.
I note that so far everyone seems to have different tastes and that’s the way it should be

1. Stokkebye No. 35. Champagne - One of my first tobaccos and i just love it. Always on hand.
2. Lane 1-Q - Still pretty new to me, but it kind of stopped me in my tracks when I first smoked it.
3. Stokkebye Pistachio No.27 - Like the Champagne, this was one that I began smoking because it was available at my local shop, and I just keep buying it.

I'm pleased to see someone showing some love for the oft maligned Mixture 79.
I smoked quite a bit of it in the 1970s-80s. My olfactory memory is not acute enough to say if the current iteration has changed much compared to the earlier version.
I still like it, although it's not in my top 3
1 Vanilla Roll Cake
2 Molte Dolce
3 Scotty’s Butternut Burley
Peterson Connoisseurs Choice, Stokkebye 2012, KBV Spicy Chai, CS Old Toby, and Cult BRM all get honorable mentions.

I think it has a little more baking spice quality. If the flake/loose were a sugar cookie, the roll cake would be a snickerdoodle. At least, to me.
