Thank you very much! Lots of choices there. Saw Esoterica stuff and chalked that right off though. As you said...unobtainium...

I am looking for some advice/suggestions on some straight Virginias to try. I just recently started on Virginias again after learning how to slow down and sip a pipe. (My first experience with Mac Baren's No. 1 Virginia went horribly wrong years ago...my tongue just recovered...) I had a friend give me a pouch of Amphora Virginia Blend and I really enjoyed that. My next one was Royal Yacht. That to me is some wonderful stuff.

I am gravitating to the sweet, citrusy hay type flavors.

Any thoughts or guidance would be appreciated!

KBV - Endless Void - A blend composed of vintage Virginias with at least 20 years of age. It's a one off, and had I known what it would taste like when I smoked it I would have bought every bag of it I could lay my hands on. Deeply rich mahogany and a delicious mustiness. No bite, no sting, just ultra smooth rich Virginia flavors like you wish your other Virginias would offer. Best of all, you don't have to wait 20 years for the tobacco to develop and mature. This reminds me of what premium Virginias were like back in the latter 20th century. If a bag turns up I recommend buying it.
