    I see fewer comments about Dunhill Standard than almost any of the other Dunhill lat blends. People sing the praises of EMP, Nightcap. 965,and London; I like Standard better than any of 'em.

    I think there are quite a few bulk blends that get overlooked simply because they are bulk instead of tinned. I found I like Suttliff's Days End for example but others that I've talked to says it sucks.

    GL Pease Blackpoint is excellent - it does all of the things Nightcap does but better, IMO.
    Cornell and Diehl Poplar Camp never seems to get a lot of buzz, but I think it's a really, really good VaPer.

    John Bull English is pretty inexpensive English blend that I  believe is somewhat unique.  Light on the Latakia (And I enjoy Latakia) , the blend is more Burley forward offering a different take on the std English. This blend is an interesting change of pace for veterans and mellow enough for those who are just starting their journey towards English blends.

    I have found that VG Black Cavendish is a pretty good gem, especially for the money. It's a good stand-alone and a great blending addition to other blends...
