    Talk to me about English blends

    The only ones I would worry about would be an aeromatic with a heavy topping.

    Sutliff 507C and some of Cornell & Deihl's offerings. Especially Carolina Red Flake. Although they are all better aged which is why I just ventured i to cellaring. What about you?
