Some of my favourite blends from C & D:

#414P, "Oriental Silk":(English/Oriental)
Perique, bright flake, Turkish flake and bright Virginia ribbon
Extremely neutral blend, which includes Perique, enough to add
some intensity in the flavour, but not too much to bite the tongue.
Especially this blend I prefer "pressed". The ingredients mix
together well. This is a harmonic blend one can recommend for
everybody who likes the English blends. Furthermore, it is not
offensive in any way for a novice and his family ;)

"alt.smokers.pipes" by Dr. Micheal VanPelt

#416 "Plantation Evening": (English)
Latakia 20%, Perique 20%,Turkish 30%, the rest red ribbon Virginia.
A delicious blend, which is one among the topmost in C & D blends
I can recommend for every smoker enjoying English blends!

#970P "Pirate Kake" (English)
Is another very tasty and strong blend. It is perhaps the most Latakia
containing pipe tobacco in the world today, as much as 70% Latakia!
Pressed, of course!

#973 "Cordial" (English)
Is also with lots of Latakia, however somewhat less than in
Pirate Kake. A smooth blend also with Virginia, Turkish and black
Cavendish

#905 "Vanilla Cavendish" (Aromatic)
One of the best aromatics I ever have tasted!
Apart from the fact that it has this vanilla aroma, it tastes
beautifully good tobacco, too.

#305 "Espresso" (Aromatic)
A new aromatic blend by Craig. It is so new that you couldn't
find it in his catalog May 22st., but now it is there!
This is a marriage saver, as Craig it calls.
An all black tobacco, really wonderful room aroma and ashtonishingly
smooth and mellow taste. I'd say that if you are an unexperienced smoker,
this is especially for you, but even this person, who has enjoyed pipes
for more than 30 years, loves it! Compared with #905 this is not so strong
and has less bite than it, which includes burley tobaccos
