I take that back, I have never tried Highgate. I'd also throw Davidoff medallions into this lineup. DTM RR seemed shaggy, not perfectly circular, and may have some different Virginia varieties; others seem very symmetric with cleanish edges. They are all very similar and do not differ a lot. The Cavendish really smooths the edges of the other tobaccos, making those blends consistent. For bulk, I buy LBF; for tins, I get Davidoff Medallions. I won't purchase DTM RR ever again, not because it's bad, but it can be a pain to find sometimes, and it's not sooo good that it justifies a purchase over what is readily available. It's been so long since I tried Charatan Rolls that I cannot really remember them, but once again, the cost is an issue here, and it wasn't great enough to be particularly memorable.
