McClelland Legends, Blue Mountain, Blakeney's Best Latakia Flake, Frog Morton's Cellar, 9 to 5 (925) and this one is considered an Oriental but it's a dark one, Black Sea Shokuom.

Btw what tobacco has that certain ketchup quality? I think I got it from red repare but I can't remember
Title for one of the chapters in that book you have to write? 
But seriously, out of the samplers Price sent me, my favorite so far is Frog Morton...good stuff!

The McC Beacon Extra I gave you has it in spades, or least had it when it was fresh. Most McClelland blends with virginia in them have that smell in varying degrees, unless there's a sizable portion of Latakia in the blend to mask the ketchup smell. Most people agree that Frog doesn't smell of ketchup, nor does the 3 Oaks Syrian we bought. To my nose, Rattray's Red Rapparee doesn't smell like ketchup either, but I find that Escudo does a little bit even though it's not made by McClelland. I believe I gave you some of that, as well. Check it out if you have any left and let me know, I'm curious if anyone else get ketchup from Escudo. Well, maybe not ketchup, but definitely a tangy bbq saucey type smell. Could be the big dose of perique in it.
Blade Boy's recommendations of Blue Mountain and Legends are perfect if you like Frog Morton and 3 Oaks Syrian. All mild, very smooth, yet very flavourful McClelland blends. Black Sea Sokhoum is pretty weird stuff. Almost aromatic in its fragrant quality. I have a bit of it left if you want a bowl.

You may wanna try out 3 oaks Syrian then Ed, It's my favourite
Yep, 3 Oaks Syrian is a special blend. Haven't read one bad word about it. If forced to be critical, I could only ask that its flavour was turned up a notch. It is so yummy and so smooth... but almost too smooth, like maybe its perfect harmony was holding it back from reaching nirvana status... I don't know, I just want BIG flavour!
Syngent, drinks are definitely in order, I've gotten into snuff and have some great stuff for you to try. Got another local BL'er paying me a visit in next few weeks to do a 'baccy trade... should try to coordinate a mini B&B BL get together.

How in the name of all that is righteous has this not warranted a custom title? 
James must remain uninformative and pointless, it is essential to the balance of the universe. Failing that, I have no idea why not!

Lol I already got one.... plus they don't really exist,
And the one I got that doesn't exist fits a bit to much I think...
And if I got a custom title every time I made a thread title like this I think I'd have like 10 of them now lol

I always had this thought the lines "yeah maybe, but he's harmless and people seem to like him" gets mentioned at Mod meetings every so often,... but then I'm in a constant state of "I'm sure I'm in trouble for something" so it's probably just in my head
