Help pick. What are your top three tins and bulk. Read below for more details

I got a bonus for some training I did and I want to build my tobacco collection. As a newbie I've barely built up much "cellared" tobacco in my collection. I need to take a break from buying pipes . So tobacco it is.
So assuming you can buy three tins and three pounds of bulk what would you buy. Don't worry about what I like. What would you buy.
Only readily available tobacco. No nostalgic picks from 10 years ago. It has to be available at one of the online stores.

Thanks in advance for your participation.

For bulk I would do Haunted Bookshop, Luxury Bullseye, and maybe an aromatic just not sure which one. But that's just me and I would probably change my mind as soon as I bought them lol

Bulk: Virginia Slices (Sutliff), Oriental Silk (C&D), Byzantium (C&D). Honourable mention: Old Professor (Sutliff), Pegasus (C&D). I'm not much for tinned blends.

Oh yea, Byzantium is a good one too

I smoke mainly English/Balkan blends from G. L. Pease that contain only Virginia, Latakia and Turkish/Oriental tobaccos. From highest to lowest Latakia:
Abingdon
Westminster
Kensington

I remember, when I was in college, trying a friend's custom blend of bright virginia and other virginias with a light latakia component. I loved it. Any suggestions as to what might be in the ballpark of a blend like this?

 

[Balisong]

Two that come to mind are C&D Yale Mixture and G. L. Pease Laurel Heights.

Thanks Balisong. I'll give them a try.
