Steamroller is a bulk blend of theirs that that you may want to try. Basically a Va-Bur mix but with alot added to that base. There's some perique as well as some latakia, but neither seems to ever come to the fore, at least not for me; but they both add some bottom or weight or whatever. I don't say complexity because the flavour layers, if you'll indulge that metaphor for a moment, aren't really stratified in a clearly discernable way; it's not a smoke that's going to wander through different flavour profiles, rather the taste is consistantly good Va-Bur that's got a nice big bottom (think Spinal Tap). There's also some plain black cavendish which I think binds everything together at the same time as it provides for a remarkably smooth smoke. Finally there's a sweet topping that reminds me a little bit of Carter Hall - sort of table sugar sweet rather than brown sugar. It's not overdone at all, but it's there. I enjoy Steamroller much as I do OTCs like SWR, CH, PA and Sugar Barrel - a great smoke when I just wanna puff and not think too much about what I'm smoking but still enjoy a nice smoke. Perfect for futzin' round in the workshop for me. It's marketed as a strong nicotine blend but I didn't find that too true; on a par with something like FVF I'de say. Not too slim but no heavyweight either.
Black House is of course excellent, and sold in bulk form as well, but it's a fuller latakia blend and as such maybe not what you're looking for. But it is very good...as well.
