I recently explored VaPers, and found one that opened up a whole new world of pleasure for me.
I recommend to you A C Petersen's Escudo Navy Deluxe.
I also liked Solani's 633.
The Escudo was tangy & spicy, the 633 grassier. Both were easy, biteless, smooth smokes.
But the Escudo is something special... It's reputation as a classic is well deserved.

I smoke so much that I can't afford the boutique prices of most tinned blends, so for me it's the bulks (which also provides some cellaring fun):
I recently went through the 2oz. Hearth & Home sampler selecting Vapers by Russ Ouellette.
I thought Rolando's Own and AJ's Vaper were quite good; Louisiana Red , my favorite; Frenchy's Sunza Bitches tasty, but too assertive for me; and Capitol Stairs, which, were it not for the deertongue, might be a starting point for the Burleyphile as it is essentially a mild Vaper on a Burley foundation.
I find McClelland's bulk 2015 Virginia [broken] Flake to have a delightfully tangy, citrus-rind taste. Well worth sampling. Unfortunately, that taste fades into generic warm smoke as it approaches the end of the bowl. It has no detectable vitamin-N; but I like that tangy taste so much I'm willing to put up with it's downsides.

One of my favorites is Esoterica Dunbar.
Like some others have recommended, don't miss out on Escudo.

Right now my favorites are:
H&H Louisiana Red
H&H Anniversary Kake
H&H Virginia Spice (has some cigar leaf, but not too much that it overtakes the VA/Per)
Some really good blends are:
C&D Exhausted Rooster
H&H LJ Heart Virginia
There are a ton more VA/Per blends out there, these are just some blends that I have smoked recently and remember them pretty well.

Here is my list:
H&H AnniCake - the ultimate?
H&H Sunza Bitches - Think an oatmeal rasin cookie with white pepper and bourbon
H&H LA Red - semi sweet red va blend
H&H VA Spice - the cigar leaf smooths out this VAPer
4 Noggins - Essence of Vermont - a PG rated Aromatic - has maple and spicy plum

Something I'm kicking my ass over today is a mistake I made when I first began RYO. There was a tin right next to the RYO tobaccos on the shelf at my B&M and it looked cool, so I bought it along with my other tobacco.
The tin was Bell's 3 Nuns. I knew nothing about this Vaper twist and was disappointed when I opened the tin to discover pipe tobacco. It's no longer imported to the U.S. and since I've been smoking a pipe, I've read many comments about how people miss it.

Yeah, I mistook it for being one of the European hand-rolling tobaccos that I'd just discovered and thought it was going to be a shag tobacco in a fancy tin.
It smelled really great and the couple cigarettes I did roll lasted 20 minutes. It's a shame I didn't appreciate what I had at the time.

Cool videos. I'd be more than happy with gifts like those.

I too want to thank everyone here for their suggestions, especially jonesing,
for compiling that extensive list. I'll be using it as a reference and check-off list.
So many blends, so little time.
