Your Go-To Virginia

[Servant King]

In addition to enjoying barebones thread titles, I also enjoy a good VA blend, especially during warmer weather. I mean, who the hell wants to smoke Balkan Sasieni under the hot sun? That would drive me straight to the sanitarium, frankly (I know I'm setting myself up for some obnoxious retort to which I would have no conceivable comeback, but that's just my early World No Tobacco Day gift to whoever takes advantage of it first. No need to thank me either.).

My old standby when it comes to a straight VA is Sutliff 507-C VA slices. What's yours?

Newminster 400
...
C&D Sun Bear (yes, not a straight VA, but scratches the itch for me)

As for Latakia blend on a hot day... There is just something really nice about Country Squire Shepherd's Pie that has me smoking it repeatedly lately.

GL Pease Union Square, C & D Carolina Red Flake, FVF, and Old Gowrie (That's cheating, I know). All of these, with the exception of GL Pease, are sometimes hard to get.

Balkan Sasieni under the hot sun?

Try it with lemonade.

 

[kschatey]

...and Peter Stokkebye Luxury Twist Flake!

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

CVP and Vauen No 14.

 

[Waning Embers]

McClelland Christmas Cheer or 40th Anniversary.

CVP and Vauen No 14.

I gots ta slum it with the bulk options since I'm never quite fast enough to procure either of those!

 

[B.Fee]

I have a stack of aged Wessex Gold Brick and Klondike Gold that I enjoy .

 

[virginialover]

Union Square, great stuff.

I need to try alot more Va's though..

That SPC Hogshead would have been nice to try but oh well.

Do I really have to remind you all of C&D Derringer? This stuff is delicious and reasonably priced and fully American. Damn it, it's the freakin' Memorial Day weekend.
Go order some of this immediately for patriotic reasons and the fact that it tastes better than hotdogs and hamburgers and red neck beer.
Rant over!!!

Tell us how you really feel...

Man that's a hard one. All I smoke really is VA.
Suttlif Crumble Cake Red VA and VaPer, Wessex Brigade - Classic VA. I also love all the Formers Virginias. And for a daily smoke, Royal Yacht.
Honorable mentions F&T Blackjack, Ayelsbury Classic, Union Square, WC Slices, and so many more.... don't think I could ever chose just one.
I tend to categorize my fondness for VA's because I enjoy so many for different reasons. Grassy one, sweet ones, heavy perique, etc.

 

[sablebrush52]

Yorktown is a great all day smoke that's available in bulk. I also like Derringer, though not as much. Union Square, 507-C slices, McClelland 2010, McClelland 40th, Christmas Cheer, Cringle Flake, McCrainie's Red Ribbon and Red Flake, Various G&H flakes, Georg Huber Virginia Golden Flake and FVF. Then there's all the VaPers...

yorktown. In fact it is my go to period. I have to have some of it around. It's a blend that just never disappoints me. A lot of what I like about it, is it's an easy smoker. As long as you kind of take your time it will shine.

depends on the red neck I guess. Some of them drink decent beers and some of them think Genny is good.
