Ignore the order, these are my go to straight virginias. All very nice, in the right pipe of course.
1. C&D Yorktown
2. Capstan Blue
3. GLP Union Square
4. Newminster No400 Superior Navy Flake
5. PS Luxury Twist Flake.(although I hear this has a topping)
6. Low Country Natural Virginia
7. Cobblestone Chess Rook Flake.
Thanks for the suggestions. I picked up the Capstan and Newminster already based on some previous suggestions. Will work on some of these on the next order.

I love macbaren virginia #1; sweet, savoury, bready, easy, buttery, bright. Sweetens any pipe. Pack it tall and narrow, puff slowly and half way down you will be rewarded by virginia bliss. Since 1955. Good stuff.
Yep, I enjoy Virginia #1 as well!

Really not one to claim knowledge of Virginias, but lately been enjoying Full Virginia Plug, FT Cut Blended Plug, GH Curly Cut Deluxe and more recently Huber Golden Virginia Flake very very much. Issue is none of these are easy to come by in the US.

These are the straight Virginia's in my cellar, they are all flakes. . I have no red virginia's in my cellar as that stuff burns my tongue off. A TR next to a name means tin ready, no drying time. I prefer a bit of moisture in my flakes.

As I mentioned, this one kicked my ass when I first started pipe smoking. I just grabbed some more the other day to re-try it and I have to say that since I am more experienced; it really is pretty good.
