Strong Virginia

[Mopiper]

My taste buds arent what they used to be. I am looking for a strong tasting virginia. I like the raisin taste more than the lemon taste if that makes since.

Rattray's Old Gowrie. Newminster 400. SG FVF. F&T Vintage. In general, Virginia blends are not strong.

Cornell and Diehl Kajun Kake. Lot of raisins there.

Strong in flavor. But,strong nic is ok.

Tough question because it is tough to find a strong Virginia.

Look for the Gawith Ropes. Black XX is peculiar but is a great tobacco with a bold flavor, especially if you air it out or leave it in a jar for some time.

I second Kakun Kake as well. Great tobacco.

Royal Yacht is a strong Viginia blend.

Royal Yacht is a strong Viginia blend.

I really didnt get much flavor from that one. It was fresh when I tried it. Maybe after it ages some I will get more flavor.

Sixpence is pretty deep.

Peterson’s Irish Oak (now called Irish Cask maybe?) was flavorful and had some strength. I know you just said “strong Virginia,” but added you enjoy the raisin flavor. I’m not “Jiminks” by any stretch, but I believe Perique provides that more than Virginia. Please go easy on me, old-timers, if I am incorrect.

GH Brown Bogie.
Loads of flavour, loads of nicotine, burns really well, no problem lighting up.
I call it the King of tobaccos.

A strong Virginia is somewhat of an oxymoron. For Virginia taste (be it sweet or grassy or both), try vapers. Or better yet, Gregory L. Pease has Virginias with a little more oomph (nicotine) with Kentucky. I echo the recommendation of Six Pence as well as blends like Triple Play or Navigator.

Actually, I tried some air cured Virginias and the blew my head off. They taste and feel very different though, more like burley. Very similar to Brown no.4 indeed. However, if you go and stove them, they will develop sweeter, fruty flavors.
