You really, really, really need to get your hands (and mouth) around some of Rogue Creamery's Smokey Blue. I use it in my smoked blue cheesecake and it really IS TDF.
One of my customers here made a smoked swiss, except he over-smoked it and there is a plasticine quality to it that I find disturbing, but the addition of salt helps a great deal.

smoked swiss and other smoked cheeses can really go awry when not done well. it's just too delicate of a balance.
while it's not smoked, have you had humboldt fog? it's reeeally good too. : D
