A good heavy, earthy english is Murdock's Pipe from McCranies. I enjoy it. :puffy:

I like big bold English tobaccos. Penzance is a favorite, as is Park Lane's Knightsbridge. I tend to like lots of Latakia and Smyrna in blends. I find the Latakia is the base body and Smyrna add a rich twist.
Esoterica Margate and Pembroke are the two refined English tobaccos that I like. Same tobaccos but Pembroke adds a cognac topping which is just fantastic. Smooth, elegant all day smokes.

Avalon from Jon's Pipe Shop in Columbia, MO.

Wayne knows how to make a blend!
It's got a full body, but a natural sweetness. Never bites. Always cool and smoky!

One year later almost everything I smoke is an "english"
Bulk:

PS Balkan Supreme

PS English Oriental Supreme

McClelland 5110 (favorite flavor, but can be hard to keep lit)
Tin:

McClelland Frog Morton ATP (favorite, but it's Syrian and leans to orientals)

Glad this thread came back up. I jumped in with both feet to this hobby and got blown up a few times with perique and heavy cyprian blends. Learning curves...

PS English luxury is my favorite English, Northwoods is nice. I just received a blend from 4 noggins, forget what it's called but it's super nice. My local B&M has great English blends (Mission pipe shop)
I also enjoy light Balkans, (grants tobacconist in San Fran has a great one)

as the heavier ones (bill baileys) is too strong for me
