Looking for a Good Basic Virginia Flake

The Tolkien reference is a fun fact. If Capstan Blue was a bad blend, it would not make it any better. It just happens to be a great blend. I read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings when I was about 12 and was totally consumed by it. I liked the movies as well. Not The Hobbit, though. That was rape.

:rofl: @ your Hobbit analysis... I agree completely on each of those issues

Just about every VA under the sun has been mentioned but most of them are excellent choices so I doubt you will be led too far astray.
Full Virginia Flake is one of my favourites - when it smokes well, there is almost nothing better. I find the aroma especially enjoyable for a straight Virginia; there's just something about those Samuel Gawith Virginias that I can't get enough of. The tin I'm smoking now has about five years on it and that certainly doesn't hurt but it is good stuff at any age.

How does 507c compare to ogs?

It's less citrusy, but it is well worth it and its a great value.
I just pulled the trigger on 5 more pounds ...after tasting some with a 1 1/2 years on it.
