    Seeking Help Creating Picayune Clone

    Title says it's all, I want to take a stab at making a clone of Picayune. I love this blend and I'm running out, and it's discontinued, etc. Says it has dark air cured, Perique, Samsun and gold VAs. I have all of these tobaccos in whole leaf form, shredded into ribbon and uncased (I have...

    A Question On Types of Burley

    Rougaroux came in today, so opulent and lovely. Can't wait to get some Simply Red, which will round out my Virginia collection for my daytime smokes. I've been missing the particular feeling of Burley nicotine, however, so I enjoyed a bowl of C&D Burley Ribbon and it hit that specific "spot" in...

    Ordered My Rougaroux

    Just placed my order, 8oz. Looking forward to this VaPer, and their Simply Red when it comes out too. Like many, I'm looking for a good Red Va now that Sutliff is no more. Anyone else order right as the gates opened?

    Seeking VaBur Recommendations

    Just tried it again and yuck... Even after 4 years aging. It would be perfect if it wasn't for the bitter note

    Seeking VaBur Recommendations

    I tried it awhile ago and thought it had an odd edge to it. Maybe I'll revisit it

    Virginia's -

    Daughters and Ryan is the blending house, Windsail and Three Sails are the blends. D&R blends are very plain and without toppings or casings., just straight tobacco. Burn real easy. At first they seem dry but don't be fooled. Might be worth a shot for you. Check out the reviews for those blends...

    Virginia's -

    What is it you're looking for? A straight bright Virginia? Windsail seems to be all gold Virginia, and isn't Three Sails all brights? Maybe others will pipe in ;)

    Seeking VaBur Recommendations

    Thanks for the help narrowing down VaPers and VAs everyone, I appreciate it. Edisto is decent, sipping my way through the rest of the tin. Realized that what I really want is a VaPer, one with just the right amount of perique for my own tastes. Tried Bayou Morning Flake and it has a bit too much...

    My Journey into Burley Blends

    Just Discovered MacBaren Scottish Mixture

    Wow is this fantastic. So different than what I usually smoke, this is what I always imagined the quintessential "pipe tobacco" to be like before I took up the pipe. Burn characteristics are supreme, a merry-go-round of flavors as to be expected by the description, and best of all it's a blend...

    My Journey into Burley Blends

    You might try the C&D Burley Flake series. #1 and #3 are pretty heavy on the vitamin N so be prepared, but they are lovely IMHO. They are mostly humble and simple but have some variety/crossover - I believe #4 has some Latakia, and #5 has a light topping if I remember correctly. #1 was always my...
