There's one that's worth mentioning because of the sheer weirdness of it. Davidoff English Mixture.
The weirdness is that, despite the name, it isn't what anybody would likely describe as an English blend. So if you try it, you have to set aside any preconceptions. It's hard to say if you'd like it because, in the scheme of Va/Pers, it's kind of a bland, slightly cased, Va/Per.
For its positives: I find it to be pretty mild, nice burning to the bottom, and extremely consistent through the whole bowl. For those reasons, I actually like smoking it. But, if pressed, I wouldn't buy more because it's expensive for a bland tobacco and I'd rather spend money and time with better things like the Frogs.
Anyway, in your search for a great English, don't be fooled by this one. Just thought I'd mention it.
When you've sampled a bunch, please do share your thoughts.
Yours,
