If You had to Choose Only One Va/Per

[sparroa]

I have seen people say Davidoff Flake Medallions are the same as Luxury Bullseye Flake. I would not be surprised.
If the perique content is similar, I think you are right in saying it is mostly VA because LBF is as mild as may.

Well dang, that would bite if DFM was the same as LBF. I have not tried the Davidoff, maybe I should do a comparison. With the price difference between the two, that sure would bite if it was the case.
One good experiment I had was taking 50g of Mac Baren Navy Flake and mixed in 5% McClelland blending Perique from 2007. Let it sit for awhile and viola, its very tasty. You still get the nice Navy Flake flavors but now with the added spice of the Perique.

It is more speculation than anything but since they are both made by Orlik in the same factory and have nearly identical presentation it stands to reason that it is a possibility they are the same.
I think it is proven, though, that Luxury Bullseye Flake is the same as Orlik Bullseye Flake - that seems almost obvious when you think about it, but at first glance it is not really evident.
Honestly, the Davidoff would have to be a hell of a lot better to justify the price difference. I have my doubts that it is twice the blend of LBF, but LBF is definitely half the price at least!

Not exactly a vaper... But often Haddos is my favorite vaper.

Orlik Bulls Eye

If we open it up to hybrids, Haddo's is right up there for me as well. Just a hair's width behind Escudo as my all-time favorite.

Orlik Golden Sliced followed very very closely by Peter Stokkebye's Luxery Bullseye Flake.

If You had to Choose Only One Va/Per

I'd blend a second one myself...
All kidding aside, it would be a toss-up between the aforementioned Solani 633 and Escudo.
Although, come to think of it, Dorchester and Dunbar are regulars as well. Oh and then some Fillmore.. or Louisiana Red. And if we can mix in other stuff, then I would need to add Sunday Picnic (turkish), AJ's (some cavendish) or Cumberland (Kentucky).
I give up :roll:
