These are the tobaccos I am currently smoking or have stored to age. As you can see I favor English style blends with plenty of latakia. The comments provided are from the blender or the distuributor of the tobacco. They are in no particular order although the first one listed "Raven's Wing" is my current favorite. Although an English style it is blended in the USA by Gregory Pease. I would very highly recommend this delightful mixture of the noble weed.
G.L. Pease - Exquisite Smoking Mixture
Raven's Wing
A dark mixture with a large measure of Latakia, both Cyprian and Syrian. Full and robust flavor. The Latakia is assertive, but doesn't overpower the oriental and dark stoved Virginias that add complexity and balance to the smoke. Burns slowly.Cairo
A wonderfully complex mixture of red, orange and bright Virginia tobaccos, exotic oriental leaf, and just a whisper of perique. Naturally sweet, slightly nutty, delicately spicy and rich. Subtle citrus-like notes harmoniously support the more robust flavors of the darker Virginias.Renaissance
A classic medium English mixture, rich in orientals, a good measure of Cyprian and Syrian Latakias, and just enough golden, red and matured Virginias to provide substance. The nutty flavors of orientals are the main focus, with the Latakia providing an almost leathery spiciness.Samarra
A rich, complex mixture, without being heavy. Matured red Virginia with a generous portion of Cyprian Latakia added for its richness. Oriental leaf provides fullness. Finally, a hint of lemon Virginia adds brightness and a touch of perique adds its own unique piquancy.McClelland Tobacco Company
