Your Top 5 Tobacco for 2020

Doh! that changes things, I didn't pick up on the date or how OLD this thread is! But I will stick with my selection for 2021.
Reboot. My list has changed as they tend to do in this world of ever evolving tastes and preferences. More Virginia and VaPer this time around. Also, my stash is limited at the moment but I'm enjoying what I have.
1. Newminster 400 Superior Navy Flake: Lately this blend has really been hitting me in the right spot. An easy burning light flavor that I can enjoy anytime.
2. Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake: This one hasn't changed since my last list. Love it.
3. Rattray's Old Gowrie: I thankfully have many pounds of Rattray's in my cellar and always enjoy reaching for it. Probably a brand I will continue to stock as it becomes available.
4. R. O. Firestorm: The sweet Virginia is the star but watch out for the spicy perique and DFK on the retrohale. Nice when I'm seeking a blend with an edge to it.
5. Orlick DSK: I love the blending of Kentucky and Virginia in this one. Another one I have cellared fairly deep.

Is the first page of this thread broken for anyone else? I'm seeing the posts squished over to one side, like has happened before with table glitches, yet there's no tables on the page. 
It's all bunched up on my desktop screen; on my tablet it's a little wonky but not to the same degree. On both, the symptom goes away when I move to page two. Other threads display normally.Is the first page of this thread broken for anyone else?

I'll look through and see if I can figure it out!
Usually a table bug makes two columns.

Post #8 by @KellyG had tables in the post.
I removed the tables and all is well in the world.

Thanks Phil 
Top 5 for me this year so far
1. Stokkebye LBF
2. Bobs Chocolate Flake
3. MacBaren HH Vintage Syrian
4. Squadron Leader
5. HU Tobacco Director's cut.
These are what I’ve smoked the most of so far this year. I’ve smoked more LBF recently than the others and can feel myself leaning towards Virginia blends and away from the Latakia as the weather warms up. I plan on opening a tin of Watch City Ciger 25th anniversary Old Dominion once I smoke up some of the stuff I already have open.

My top five from Germains...
Rich Dark Flake
Royal Jersey Perique
Brown Flake
Medium Flake
1820 Flake
... are all disqualified from being contenders for my Top 5, for being such a pain in the arse to buy.
So, with that out of the way, here's my attempt at picking my (current) No.1 in each of five categories.
1) Virginia - G&H Bright CR Flake
Royal Jersey Perique
Brown Flake
Medium Flake
1820 Flake

So, with that out of the way, here's my attempt at picking my (current) No.1 in each of five categories.
1) Virginia - G&H Bright CR Flake
(Runner up - Peterson Sherlock Holmes)
2) Virginia/Perique - G&H No.27 Perique Flake(Runner up - Solani 633 Virginia Flake)
3) Aromatic - G&H Reunion Flake (by far the toughest choice, and most likely to change)(Runners up - Rattrays Sir William/G&H Red)
4) Lakeland - Condor Long Cut(Runner up - G&H Ennerdale Flake)
5) Dark Potent - Revor Plug(Runner up - G&H Dark XX Plug)
My 6th category is English/Latakia, but that's excluded, as it's what I smoke the least (Squadron Leader would have won though)
I'll keep mine to readily available and good to go fresh without aging in no particular order:
1. Uhle's 00
2. C&D Epiphany
3. GLP Quiet Nights
4. HU Dockworker
5. HU Old Fredders
HU has to be ordered from Germany which isn't an issue at present, order to door in days.

I'm finally a few years into this hobby since starting back up and I can make a top 5 list. At the moment I'd say:
1. MacBaren Mixture Scottish
2. MacBaren Vanilla Roll Cake
3. Newminster Superior Round Slices
4. Capstan (blue tin)
5. Lane 1-Q and/or those variants and similar blends (Capt Blk Royal, 7 Seas, etc)

)
Sutliff Briggs match
Skiff
With honorable mentions Squadron Leader, Presbyterian, Black Mallory, Carter Hall, Granger, Edward G. Robinson's, Durbur, Kentucky Club Aromatic, Velvet.
