English Blends, looking for recommendations

[Keystone_Raider]

Hey gang,

I'm looking for input from those of you who are diehard pipe smokers. I have a small shop and we recently sold out of the bulk English blend we had and it has been discontinued. I'm more of a cigar smoker - once in a blue moon I'll grab a pipe.

Right now I have some samples of Peter Stokkebye English Oriental & Proper English out to a couple guys who are regulars and I am getting their feedback.

I'd appreciate any of your recommendations.

Thanks in advance!

I' not all that well versed on what shops can get in bulk, but I have some recommendations for what I think are good English blends along with the English Oriental you've mentioned:

Esoterica Penzance
GL Pease Westminster
GL Pease Maltese Falcon
Samuel Gawith Squadron Leader (this is available in bulk form, but I prefer the tins)

There are some others that are very good, but they're house blends (Boswell, Pipeworks & Wilke, Hearth & Home) so I'm not sure if you'd like to offer those.
