cigarick-
I don't know where you live, but out here in central Cali, I've found about three tobacco shops that have some great custom or house blends. And some of them will even blend different tobaccos to suit your taste.
I usually try to find a good blend of vanilla and dark cavendish or a good, strong Virginia burly.
If you're looking for pre-packaged stuff, the old stand-by, Captain Black is consistent. Pretty mellow, but it's like going to McDonalds, it's going to taste the same no matter where you are.
