Scott,
I'm sure you know that HOTW is sold in bulk, but there's not much of a price break.
Scotty's Old Red is much more mellow than HOTW. I don't see much of a comparison other than both being red virginias.
I think to compare with HOTW you'd need something with more punch. Maybe as one suggested, try Old Red and add a little extra perique?
