Here are the blends that I prefer out of what you have listed. But then again, everyone's tastes are a bit different.

Straight Virginia:Either Gawith's Full Virginia Flake or Gawith's Best Brown

Perique:I wouldn't recommend smoking just a straight Perique. However, I have smoked McClellands Blending Perique just so I would know how strong it was before I blended with it.

Va/per:McConnells Scottish Cake or GL Pease's Filmore

Burley:I'm not a big burley guy. I've had Esoterica's Stonehaven and Cornhell & Diehl's Haunted Bookshop and Old Joe Krantz. These aren't straight Burleys but it is the main component in these.

Latakia:Again, I wouldn't recommend smoking straight Latakia.

English:I love any of the Frog Morton Series by McClelland.

Oriental: Red Rapperee and Balkan Sasieni

Is this deja-vu all over again?

Hah! I was wondering who else goes back & forth!
This must have gotten here through that hyperspace voodoo-juju or maybe its vuja-de all over again, I don't know.
To those wondering what the heck is he talking about, I posted this same inquiry elsewhere trying to get as much input as possible to get a bead on what I'm smoking.
I appreciate your suggestions guys,thanks.

I think my socks would roll up and down if I did!

Yeah I realize they are condiments added sparingly but was just interested in any brands/blends where these would be the most pronounced.
