C&D Exclusive. 50%, I believe.
There a many good VaPer blends. I recently started trying them as well. So far - Old Dominion by Watch City Cigar is my favorite.

Hearth & Home Anniversary Kake (bulk only from Pipes & Cigars); there is also a flake version in tins that may be available from other stores.
Yes, I definitely give a double thumbs up to Watch City Old Dominion as well. It's exclusive to them though, so plan your purchasing accordingly!
I prefer 558 to Old Dominion myself. Other VaPers you may want to try are Viprati, Doblone d'Oro, SG St James Flake. Former has three VaPers that are all good. When you can find it, WCC Rouxgaroux is superb. Pete Heinrich Curly Block is excellent but pricy.
+1 for poplar camp and exclusive
and C&D bayou morning and bayou night

I agree with the rec’s from @hoosierpipeguy , they are all excellent. Rouxgaroux is particularly good but you won’t have the chance to buy any until the next release which will be around Halloween.
All that said, if you haven’t tried it already Escudo should be your next stop. It’s an all-time classic, a benchmark for the style, and always available.

Don’t overlook the Saint James and Acadian varieties of Rimboche from D&R. Also, C&D’s Carolina Red Flake with Perique is quite good, but it’s a small batch annual release. If you like more Perique, C&D Bayou Morning Flake is nice.
Bayou Night is a good blend, but I think @Ctbill was looking for VaPers.
Peterson DNR is my favorite for the plum & raisin notes. SG St James Flake if you want some pepper (ok, quite a bit of pepper). Rattray's Marlin Flake if you want some additional character.
Already a bunch of great recommendations listed. I’ll just add Match Victoria, I was very pleasantly surprised by this one. It’s got a lot of that skanky Perique goodness in it, and it’s inexpensive.
My favourite vaper is Dunhill DNR that's aged a bit, but that is not so periquey to my taste. Deep dark fruitiness, raisin and prune, but not spicy or peppery, and no funky smell.
I’m too am a recent convert to VaPers - favorites so far are GLP Fillmore, Solani 633 Flake & H&H Viprati.
@hawky454 is absolutely right, after you try Escudo try Match Victorian. Then see that for the price of 3.5oz of Escudo you can get 16oz of Match Victorian. Both are great but in terms of bang for the buck nothing can touch MV, it’s by far the best value anywhere in pipe tobacco.
You are right. I got off track. I guess I was just thinking more of perique heavy blends.
If you want a bit of a Perique bomb - but really lovely blend - I'd suggest C&D Bayou morning flake
Pick up a shredder and a half pound of whole leaf St. James Perique, and put that sh*"¿t in everything.
