Any Suggestions for a Full Bodied US Made Straight Virginia?

One of the more interesting straight virginia smokes to my palate is McClelland's Red & Black. You might be interested in reading some insightful comments on it at TR? What I like about it is that you can play with the constituent virginias to find what configuration you find most pleasing.

Here's my vote:

The Owl Shop (New Haven, Ct) Aged Virginia. They do mail order. Nice blends altogether.

McClellands has a wide assortment of Virginia leaf and Virginia blends, so I would certainly review their offerings at one of the online sponsors or at your local shop from time to time. I feel like McClellands is to Virginia leaf as C&D is to burley, but of course they both do both.

If you like the fruity side of Perique, I strongly suggest that you try D&R's Acadian Bright. It's Canadian Virginia that has been run through the D&R Perique process. Very flavorful, no bite, highly unique.

I tried D&R's Three Sails a while back. It's a shag cut Virginia. I confessed to having rolled a few, but it's otherwise decent and nicely priced.

"McClellands has a wide assortment of Virginia leaf and Virginia blends,"
MSO, they do indeed but I already tried all (bar three) of their offerings and find them lacking. Not at all unpleasant, just thin in the flavour department.
I'm looking for something with a more robust flavour profile, something akin to FVF which is my current favourite straight Virginia.
Dan, yes I'm quite partial to a good VaPer too but don't find Acadian Bright, only a blend called 'Raccoon's Delight' that contains Acadian Bright.
