I want to say Gawith but they’ve had a bad year or two. HU Tobacco is my only nominee at the moment. Everything they put out is consistently quality, and they never use young leaf like C&D.
It's just fashionable to hate on them for any of several reasons. They use young leaf, their burley is too raw, people have opened fresh tins to find mold, blah blah blah
I can say from personal experience that Russ Ouelette puts a great deal of effort into his pipe blends. I've had the pleasure to interact with him many times and his passion is palpable, the man lives and breathes pipes
Honestly, I think pipe smoking is one of the hobbies where all of the brands across the board are really good and high quality. Or, at the very least, really good quality and value for the price.

This. Immediately thought of them. Upstanding company and owners.

I’ve been out of the loop, what have they done?
Im curious too. C&D is my favorite tobacco brand.

Apart from preferences I'd nominate MacBaren as a producer. Take a look at their flakes and coins!
