Not a particular blend, but a family of leaf, red Virginia blends were my go to’s for this year.

 

[Butter Side Down]

Perennial favorites:
Rattray 40 Virginia (now discontinued, currently in conservation mode)
SG Skiff Mixture (something changed for the worse when they went to the shag cut, so also currently in conservation mode on the old gold tins)
Old Dark Fired RR (also gone and in conservation mode)

And an old favorite rediscovered this year:
SG Best Brown Flake

New favorites discovered this year (or late 2024):
SG Cabbie's Mixture
GLP Meridian
Uhle's 00 Burley

All new blends this year were great, but especially the Per Jensen Legacy series. A new to me blend that has already been out is Peterson Irish Flake. Smoked ODF for years but started looking for something to scratch the itch and it’s great.

Sutliff Sweet Virginia and Newminster 400 as well as Sutliff heavy english blend.

The heavy english is not a favorite but something I wanted to try due to discontinuation.

My number 1 is Sutliff Blend No. 5. It is an English and appears available so I guess it’s still in production. I’m smoking older stock, so I can’t say if the new stuff is the same or not. In my 6 years on pipe forums I’ve yet to see 1 person beyond myself touting its merit so YMMV. I’m not really sure who they’re still producing it for besides myself…it’s a mystery.

I tried that blend for the first time this year and now I'm busy turning my 1792 stash into ash

I wish I tried it years ago but the strength turned me off and probably would have kept me away for good at the time.
Sadly customs here nabbed an 8oz order of it, first order intercepted and pretty much shut the door on that avenue.

I can still buy it in Australia, but only in 30 gram / 1 ounce-ish lots, at an eye watering $100 AUD.
