[captainsousie]

Black House and Constellation are at the top of my list. Hope to add another soon so I have a top 3.

 

[cortezattic]

Very difficult because I can name at least 15 I enjoy at any given time of the year. Currently, I pick:

• Sierra Nevada
  
  Darbyshire
  
  Marble Kake

 

[misterlowercase]

Hey Cortez,

how is Darbyshire?

I've been meaning to try it,

is it really like the old Brit stuff?

St Bruno or Condor or something,

or more Lakelandesque?
My faves so far are Blackhouse and Larry's Blend.

Anni Kake

Marble Kake

House of Lords
These are the only three I've tried. I love Anni and enjoyed Marble. I don't particularly care for latakia but I found House of Lords to be very well balanced between its components.

 

[weezell]

Anniversary Kake, Louisiana Red,and Black House. My problem is,I have so many of his blends stashed away I have not tried...

 

[theboz]

Sadly the only one I remember trying was Cerberus, although I thoroughly enjoyed it. Plenty of his blends are on my "to try" list.

 

[rickpal14]

1) Black House

2) Cerberus

3) Larry's Blend
Notice a theme????? :worship:

 

[petes03]

1) Black House

2) Mazatec

3) 10 To Midnight

 

[papipeguy]

I have not had many but #1 in my book is Magnum Opus. Aptly named for a true masterpiece.

 

[pitchfork]

I've only had a couple of them, but Magnum Opus is a great one. And Fusilier's Ration is a masterpiece -- the Latakia and orientals are in perfect balance, while the topping (rose and anise?) is a stroke of genius.

 

[peckinpahhombre]

Anni Kake and Blackhouse are the only two I cellar. I did just pick up a tin of Marble Kake, but haven't tried it yet.

 

[rayje589]

Well I've only tried two of his blends so those are my 'favorite'. I've tried Louisiana Red which I think could use some lat and Vermont meat candy which is okay.
I also have a two I have yet to try, Anni kake and egg nog.

 

[mzpuff]

1) Magnum Opus - probably my favorite tobacco, period.

2) Fusilier's Ration - I wish I had more in the cellar.

3) Blackhouse - for when I need something more powerful.

 

[pipestud]

Russ is an unbelievably gifted blender. I enjoy many of his blends but the top three are Freight Train, Fusiler Ration and a third that my wife really enjoys is his Pumpkin Spice.
We are blessed to have Russ around as one of the true ambassadors of our hobby.
