I mostly smoke flake tobaccos, but I'd love to find a great Va/VaPer in a ribbon cut. I need something easy to pack from a leather pouch while driving. Any recommendations? I prefer darker (red) and stoved Virginia blends.

Yea Orion's arrow is amazing.
Cosmic! Guess What!
You need to try C&D Dreams of Kadath and Mad Fiddler. The virginias over there are getting really interesting.

for a nice variety of combinations of varietals mostly VA and Perique, the D&R line is quite satisfying:

Rimboche S.J.

Rimboche A.P.

Rimboche A.B.

Picayune - if you're driving with this in your bowl, you'd better be sure to have a beverage with, and maybe a piece of chocolate, cuz it's got a nic hit.

Also Stave Aged 35 by McClelland is awesome. Just don’t smoke the chunk of wood in the tin

 
Ohhhh, Laurel Heights is absolutely one of my favorites, but I put it in the latakia range. It has a hint of latakia that I denied was ever even there till Greg himself posted on the forum that each tin has like a pinch of latakia dust in it, making the Virginia chewy and leathery. It is about as much latakia as I would want sometimes, and made me actually stop saying that I despised it altogether.

That sounds delicious. To my mind, Latakia is most effective in small doses, as it is able to "breathe" (unscientific, I know) and thus become a distinct flavor instead of overwhelming everything else.
But I might just be unreasonably influenced by this Early Morning Pipe. I like it, but who boiled out the Nicotine?
