    Favorite Virginia Tobaccos?

    Whole Leaf Tobacco

    Excellent thanks a bunch for the tips. Is there a place you recommend for ordering leaf? I’d like to start with orientals and just mix with blends I like. This place has Basma which is one of the orientals I really enjoy. https://www.leafonly.com/pipe-tobacco-leaf/tobacco-leaves
