A buddy of mine, New to the pipe, asked me about an Apple blend, I don't smoke many aro's so I'm looking for suggestions, I know drew estate has an Apple blend, anyone know of some good ones?
Thanks
 
Old tried and true middleton's apple blend.
Sutliff (Altadis)has one that I've tried but it was pretty darn hot.
Hearth & Home Caramel Apple Pie - I haven't tried this but have an un-opened tin i'll pop soon:
 
I stopped dealing with P&C but I know a lot of folks still do so that's why I referenced them. I like SP too. Great folks and they get the brunt of my business these days.

Looks like I was wrong about the P&C reference because I can't find it at P&C today.
 
I, too, don't like most aromatics yet would love to have a decent apple blend in my cellar. I've tried many over the years, but the only one I've encountered that even came close to fitting the bill was Santee from Low Country. It's a virginia-based light aromatic that seems to perform best in warm weather. Otherwise, I can't think of a single one to recommend, which is a damn shame. Middleton's Apple was actually a good blend back when I started (in 1990) but it has declined drastically over the years.
 
The one's listed above probably pack more of an apple punch but McC's Deep Hollow is supposed to have a lighter apple topping.

I'd like to try some of Boswell's aro offerings for around the holidays. I caught a whiff of a jacket I've been wearing when I'm outside smoking English blends. Wow... stinky. Smells like an ashtray.
