Which Mac Baren Blends should I try?

[sparroa]

Wessex Burley Slices shouldn't disappoint - one of my favourites. It's Made by K&K I believe.
By the way, MacBaren experts:
What is THE best traditional MacBaren blend?
Not including new additions like the HH line - just all the old school blends that have been available for years?
I've had my eye on the Virginia Flake but I've never been able to pull the trigger...

Allow me to second bouwser's recommendation of Plumcake. The link will take you to its page on tobaccoreviews.com.

I don't know which Mac Baren blend is the best, but old bestsellers are Scottish Blend, Navy Flake, Virginia Flake and Classic Flake (formerly known as vanilla flake). They have all been around since the 50's or 60's.

I recently had a go at Plumcake and really enjoyed it.
It's technically an aromatic (which I don't normally enjoy that much), but I find the casing/topping is very light in this case. The smoke was very nice and without tongue-bite.

I really enjoy Old Dark Fired and Capstan Blue Flake. I am not a fan of their Virginia flake as it is kind of boring to my tastes.
