I really just have the top two of these going at the moment;
University Flake
Pegasus
Granger - I'm trying because I quite like it but I'm still getting a reaction (palate) after more than one bowl.
Luxury Navy Flake - Haven't really smoked much Va lately, but it always hits the spot when I do.
Amphora Burley - I find this to be great value for the money but sometimes it's hit and miss for me.

She probably likes that Yellow Brick Road Virginia Plug ??
Chop chop. Homegrown. Cheapest RYO mixed with erinmore mixture. Cigar remains sliced and diced. Anything vintage sold on eBay that comes with old mummy dust.
that’s my guess of your top 5 across the ditch

Chop-chop (tobacco) - Wikipedia
From talking to members here I gather that the leaf is generally sourced from the Asian continent.
In NZ we have stuff grown in the islands. It might be rustica. I’m not familiar with it, but wouldn’t mind acquiring some seeds to grow it sometime to try

From the link, "Because of its illegal nature, chop-chop is often transported and stored in a clandestine manner. In one 2007 incident, a taxation officer inspecting a residence in Mareeba, Queensland noticed that the owner's bedroom floor sounded hollow and discovered a hydraulically operated steel trapdoor concealing an underground bunker that held hundreds of kilograms of chop-chop."Chop-chop (tobacco) - Wikipedia
I was alluding to commercial brands. Besides, chop chop can get very dicy if someone dobs you in.
I was just being a cheeky begger Robin. I would never try chop chop anyways, I like to know what’s in my tobacco
I’m pretty much a Gawith man these days, really enjoying their rope tobaccos (brown bogie, black pigtail, sweet coconut twist are my favourite), as well as the scented stuff (bosun plug, or RB)
Otherwise I’m smoking homegrown burley (mainly semois) or dark air cured Virginias.
Edward G Robinson and st Bruno are two commercial blends I’ve got a bit of for the long haul, and a box of LNF that I’ll open once another reaches puberty.
Top 5 ?
What, only 5 ? ?
I have at least going on at any time. Just can't restrict myself to just 5 blends.
Like someone said, my favourite is the one in my pipe at this moment. ?

Me too, I think I'll give the Bullseye Flake a go one day to compare.
I'm surprised it's not out of stock more often..
What’s the tobacco buying situation like in Oz? I’ve got the impression that it is expensive but I could be wrong. How much is a 50g tin?
can you still buy Port Royal? I used to love that stuff.
Do they sell St Bruno or B&H Special(formerly Mellow Virginia )out there in OZ or AU?
