Orlik Brown Sliced, a Virginia oriental flake. I hear Smoking Pipes has been trying to get STG to put it back into production. It was never imported to the US when it was in production.

I started smoking within the past decade, so I never tried most of the more famous discontinued blends, but I'd bring back Dunhill Dark Flake and Mac Baren's Vintage Syrian and Mature Virginia (assuming they could be identical to the old blends). Also, I wish that some of the recently-altered K&K blends would return to their older recipes.

GH Four Squires Flake. It's only just gone, but I miss it already. Can't find anything quite like it, some kind of anise and coffee topping.

GH Dark Rich Honeydew

Gallahers Rich Dark Honeydew was a good one. As I recall a lightly sweetened Virginia.

Another one I would like to see again is Bulwark Cut Plug. It was a stout blend, and not for the faint of heart but sometimes it just scratched a itch that nothing else could reach.
