I believe it was you I debated with a few weeks ago about the C&D Chicago Show Virginia Oriental being the same as Oriental Silk. I would have easily bet $100 the two weren't the same. You eventually said you spoke with Jeremy at C&D and he confirmed it. Which slowed me down a bit but I still struggled with it being true. So I called and spoke to Jeremy at C&D today and he confirmed you were correct.
The bad news is I was absolutely wrong. And I apologize. The good news is I really like the Virginia Oriental and now know the Oriental Silk will substitute 100%. Even better, I got to speak with Jeremy for 15 minutes or so. He is a fantastic gentleman and a wealth of knowledge. He gave me a couple of other C&D Blends to try since I like the Virginia Oriental/Oriental Silk (Miskatonic Mixture and Innsmouth). So as much as I hate to be proven wrong, it was way more positive than negative. So thank you Bluegrassbrian for your knowledge and persistence.
