What's the Best Bagged Virginia?

mso489 · Apr 12, 2018

What's the best Virginia leaf in bagged tobacco, for pipe smoking purposes? This is tricky because not all bagged tobacco is identified precisely as to what leaf it is, but I know there are some pretty good quality Virginia tobaccos that end up at bargain prices sold in bags. Anyone able to recommend?

Something D&R, maybe. Not really sure. Sounds like you are looking for a bulk "dual-purpose" tobacco which might be marketed less towards the pipe-smokers. :puffpipe:

Yep. I'd recommend Daughter & Ryan, either Three Sails or Windsail as top notch bagged virginias. I also like the Windsail Platinum. It is a bit lighter of choice top leaf.

Also, I kind of like Low Country's Natural Virginia and Oriental. It's cheaper than D&R too. Available from SPC. I would not, however, recommend the Natural Virginia and Burley. It tastes extremely harsh to me.

I've not tried the Three Sails but I've had good luck with three other D&R blends.
Expect dry, seemingly uncased tobacco that will slow your cadence to enjoy it.
