Watch City Rougaroux, but it's only released on April 1 and Oct 31 and you have to be fast.
You are going to get an endless list of vapers. I like Sixpence and Stonehenge in addition to most of the thing listed in this thread.
St James Plug is amazing with a few years of age on it. It goes really dark and has a wonderful smell when you open the jar. I cellared a 250g block about 4 years ago.
I haven't cellared any Cabbies yet, I keep meaning to as I bet that improves with age.
I really like Marlin Flake and Wessex Sovereign Curly cut is nice with its cider topping but sadly they don't sell it in the UK.
Gawith louisiana Flake has a slight chocolate topping and is pretty tasty and then there's Samuel Gawith Spring Time Flake which is aged in Sherry Barrels, that's another one that I don't think they're making anymore. Luckily I got a couple of tins before they sold out.
I'm not sure how old the plugs of st. James are that I've already got.
I ordered them from mysmokingshop and they don't have any health warnings on the packet.
That could make them rather old indeed, perfect condition and properly moist all the same.
Same with FVP.
Both smell and taste great though.
At the risk of verbal harm from @cosmicfolklore 's wrath, 
I WILL mention one that has not been said that I believe deserves a place on the VaPer shelf. Peterson's Elizabethan Mixture. It's an excellent all-day VaPer.
I nearly worship the ashes @jiminks pipes discard, but I believe this blend did not do well in his reviews. It's about the only blend I really like that he did not. It's readily available, reasonably priced and good quality.

EM is a good one. I just never set back much of it. What kind of wrath have I ever had? I have shrugged off 10 insults per any insult I have ever given.At the risk of verbal harm from @cosmicfolklore 's wrath,
REF. Post #17 this thread (with a tongue in my cheek)
I thought it might fall in the same category as Eskid-O (bleh!) 
EDIT:
I freely admit I am a poser. That makes me special
I don't care if others like it. I was just shocked that five newbies just getting into pipes hadn't jumped in the thread about Escudo. If someone did say they liked it, I most certainly wouldn't have scolded them.REF. Post #17 this thread (with a tongue in my cheek)

The only thing you have to be careful of is tagging me in a post. I'll most certainly reply, ha ha.
honestly all of them. Fun fact every single blend ever made is someones favorite essential blend.
...except Hearth and Home's AJ's Blend. No one liked that shit except for AJ.
well AJ is one person so. Basically totally my point 100 percent....except Hearth and Home's AJ's Blend. No one liked that shit except for AJ.
And I think it says so so much that this is the first time I've heard of that blend. Now I want to try it just out of morbid curiosity.
Agreed. I've got a few lbs of Virginia Spice and Louisiana Red put away, but neither AJ's VaPer nor Frenchy's Sunzabitches did much for me....except Hearth and Home's AJ's Blend. No one liked that shit except for AJ.
I really love GLP’s Fillmore and Stratford. I fell in love with Stratford first, as it just kisses the spectrum of being a Va/per. Has just a touch of Perique. I happened to get 2 tins of the initial release date in 2003. Sublime. I have many more 8oz tins from 2-3 years ago aging.
Fillmore is in the other end od the spectrum. Lots of perique and red VA. Super bold but so good. Let it age a bit and you’ve got yourself a real winner.

I have Fillmore and Telegraph hill waiting in my cart for whenever I feel like ordering again. I also added C&D'Souza Red Carpet because I really enjoy Opening Night.
I ordered a pound of it last week lol...except Hearth and Home's AJ's Blend. No one liked that shit except for AJ.
