Strong mixing Virginias

deathmetal · Mar 30, 2016

I am not a complex person. One of my favorite flavors is the mixture between Burleys and a strong not-too-sweet Virginia. Any idea where to get the latter as a blending component? I like the strong African Virginias used in some of the European blends.

G&H Dark Birdseye might suit you.

Howdy deathmetal, I sometimes like to mix Gawith & Hoggarth Birdseye or Dark Honeydew with my straight Burley tobaccos.
And, for a real good kicker, I often load the bottom third of the bowl with Murray's era Dunhill Royal Yacht topped by two-thirds Five Brothers.

Sounds entirely ideal. Two favorites for me.
Thank you both for the suggestions!

I often mix Union Square with burley. US is sweet, but it's naturally sweet, not cased. GH Best Brown #2 is mostly empire VAs with a touch of burley -- that might fit the bill.
