My first question is, why would you want to put anything into a straight Virginia? Throw the OTC's away, and just smoke the Virginia. :

+1 to Cosmic. But aside from the question of why, probably most of the more tobacco-forward OTCs would be fine, or at least different with a little straight VA blended in.
My favorite basic recipe for mixing is equal parts burley and Virginia with a healthy pinch of unflavored black Cavendish, so any OTC that is based in burley would mix pretty well with Virginia. As pointed out, Virginia is often best smoked straight up, and for me, so is burley, but mixing provides variety, and I've had some surprisingly fine smokes by mixing.
