Yorktown. It's what I grab when I can't make up my mind. It's just really perfect to me. There are blends I enjoy more with the caveat of when I enjoy them. I like Cairo better but that's only for times where I really want to enjoy a smoke and play flavor archeologist and get out the flavor spade.
LJ Peretti Cuban Mixture at the moment. But as everything else in life this is subject to change
Edward G. Robinson is a close second. A very close second. Oh and if you haven't tried it yet, well then I have one question which is why did your mom go to an obgyn named Doctor Butterfingers (I kid of course) but seriously it's amazing stuff. Only a dedicated aromatic hater could find that one not totally worthy of their semi regular rotation.
For me it's been C&D Briar Fox, or HH Burley Flake if I want something stronger.
However, with my recent discovery of Savinelli Brunello Flake, Mac Baren Symphony, and Vanilla Roll Cake I'm less consistent. If I don't wanna put too much thought into it and just smoke, I go for one of those 5 based on what strength I feel like.

I smoke Margate about half the time, so it pretty much always works for me.
If I'm just reaching for a goto blend, for me I'd be Peterson Standard Mix or Early Morning Pipe Blend.
However, I'm four bowls into my first tin of Haunted Bookshop and might shortly have to recant my previous statement.

what's that? I assume you mean my new policy of trying to help you with your resolution.
It's all in fun, and also in my confusion about not liking aros. They're certainly on the bottom of my list of what I want to smoke. Yet I find the hate of them to be like finding someone that hates cake. It's cake it's good. Sure I'd rather have a nicely cooked real meal but who doesn't want some cake?
The description of this tobacco is intriguing. Seems to work on paper but it appears somewhat polarizing.
it's quite a thing to behold. The thing is it is one of those what else is like it? Answer another tin of it. It's very balanced between flavoring and tobacco. I feel like it might even be a window into a style of blends that isn't really as common these days. It's worth a try though. It is on my short list of blends that I might cry for an hour or two if it got discontinued. Even a lot of the stuff I like a lot I could live without. This and a few others just aren't. I'll put it another way I felt like I made a mistake by not just ordering the tub instead of the sample size (what most people call tins, but they're sample size).
Previous:
-Balkan Supreme
-965
-Burley Flake #1
-Eight State Burley
-Either old ACP Escudo or LBF
Recently it's been Carter Hall.
I made a promise to myself to smoke up a significant amount of my open stuff, consists of the following:
C&D VA Gentleman, Pegasus, Engine #382, 2020 Cringle Flake, Eight State Burley, Half & Half, EGR, OGS, HH ODF, HH Burley Flake, Semois, ~ounce each of various GH, SG Sam's Flake, Match Elizabethan, old open tin of C&D Dreams of Kadath, a mix of Sutliff TS24 and Haddos, Dan SVH, Chatham Manor, Eso Penzance and Stonehaven, and some other Latakia blends I'll probably never finish and gift away.
After all that's done I'll open some aged/special to me type stuff. Cigars help change things up too.

It’s either Pembroke or Artisan Blend most of the time. If I have a sweet tooth, it’s my own blend of Hobbit Weed.

I’m not sure I have a fall back yet - but, can always rely on LBF in the a.m. I like variety, so I hope it doesn’t come down to choosing only one blend. That would suck.
