What was your first blend and is it part of your current rotation?

Captain Black Original and Lane HGL. Neither is in my regular rotation but I do have at least a pound of each on hand to enjoy every once in awhile.

Mid-90's, bought a Grabow, and a pouch of Half and Half, a tin of MB Navy Flake I think, and a tin of Dunhills London Mixture. I still smoke Half and Half very occasionally, earlier this year I finished the last of my London Mixture tins, and I don't think I have any MacB in my cellar.

I miss London Mixture. Had I known...........

Have you tried G.L. Pease's Westminster? It's an homage to London Mixture.

1-Q was my first tobacco. BCA was my second. I still have some 1-Q jarred in my cellar, but BCA is in my permanent rotation.

Westminster is some good stuff.

My memory is a little hazy, but it was probably either Sutliff Black Cordial or Peter Stokkebye Peaches & Cream. I bought them from a local B&M along with my first pipe (just some cheap basket pipe which I still have), long before I knew that B&Ms typically just package bulk blends under their own names. I still enjoy smoking both and have about a pound of each in my cellar.

Half & Half.
Absolutely not.

I have a tin in my cabinet, unopened, and untried to date. I bought it on recommendation of a friend. I have been waiting for it to come up in rotation to open, but with several comments here, it may become my Christmas smoke.

My first blend was Captain Black blue pouch. I also had some tobacco from a shop in the Outer Banks. I still have CB blue in the rotation. I also still have some of the tobacco from the OBX.

Jamaican Rum from Smoker Friendly was also an early blend I liked.

Cpt Black which I will still smoke. But that was when I was 16. I think I had quit by 18. Then re-entering the hobby 5 years ago it was Sutliff Blend #5, an English that I still love. Not sure how I chanced upon it over other English blends, it’s not really celebrated here.

Exclusiv Wild Mango in 1982 made by Poschl in Munich...what a horrid concoction, good for a teenager at the time I guess. If they had cherry Cola, I'd had that too.

Then John Aylesbury 777, a pitch black Cavendish loaded up with Pineapple aroma, that was better. Then I tried Erinmore Flake, the old Murray's, that was a sticky goo but tasty. My real first tobacco that stuck was... wait for it..OGS

I bought a bulk buttered rum blend at a mall B&M. I still have some on hand and smoke it for nostalgic reasons, so not quite part of the regular rotation. It was a quick transition from this aro to Captain Black regular and then English blends. English blends are still part of my rotation. CB not so much.
