Lapsang Souchong Recommendations

Recently I purchased a cologne called Indigo Smoke by Arquiste, one of the primary notes is Lapsang Souchong. In addition to that I quite enjoy heavily peated scotches.

Basically this is all to say my interest has been piqued recently around Lapsang Souchong tea.

I'm looking for something good quality, and representative of the style. That is to say not an extremely light or strong example . I see a number of options online.

Those of you who enjoy it, what is your favorite?
 
I bit the bullet and purchased some Harney and Son's Lapsang Souchong, as well as some new brewing equipment as mine has disappeared since my last foray into tea.

I thoroughly enjoyed my first cup, strong, malty, black tea backed up by the smell of a campfire. Frankly it reminded me of peated scotch.

I lightly sweetened the tea and I plan to drink quite a bit more of this as the weather cools.
