Recommend Vapers

[dunendain]

Thanks to one of our esteemed member's generosity, I am finishing my second bowl of Escudo Navy De lux. I love this stuff. I have tried other "legends" and been disappointed. Not this. I folded 2 coins in my Meerschaum, and rubbed another, to put on top. The Perique comes forward right away. More so, than any Vaper I've ever smoked. It has that fermented sour fruit flavor. Sour, in a good way. Deeper into the bowl comes the sweet and sour taste. It is not as peppery as the Perique I have smoked in other blends. The quality is just amazing. Lighting, burning, and packing easily. Burning cool, down to a fine ash. I probably never would have bought this for myself, because of the price, but it is worth the price to smoke a legendary tobacco, that lives up to the hype.
Thanks friend.

I've never tried Escudo, but by coincidence I have a tin in an online shopping basket at this very moment.

Waiting for "She-who-must-be-obeyed" to be in a good mood before I pull the trigger. Can't wait.

 

[dunendain]

Good luck Cortez, it will be worth the bother. One of the best I've smoked.

Add another tin and tell her that it is starting to become hard to find, lol.

Escudo and please let it age .

What about Blakney's Best Bayou Slice? (McC)
Limited but rave Reviews.
Thinking of adding to a pending order
Any experience/opinion?

One of my favorites Vaper is GL Pease´s Cumberland (with Kentucky too) and Saint James Woods, a special mention for McClelland´s Royal Cajun a blend with Virginia and a "perique like" tobacco.

Escudo it´s a solid option for Vaper, but I prefer McClelland 2015 (Bulk)

Bests.

I think I'm going to order escudo navy flake, H&H anikake, and H&H louisiana red. Hopefully these will be a good base to sample from.

C&D's Bayou Morning is an excellent vaper. Bayou Evening is also said to be excellent though I haven't tried that yet.

 

[dunendain]

Yeah, I want to try Bayou Morning, I have read some great reviews on that one.

Since this just got mentioned in the "Latakia.. what's the deal thread", a bump for the newbies looking for Va/Pers
The Va/Pers I tend to grab most are:

#1: Escudo

#2: Sunday Picnic

#3: AJ's Va-Per

#4: Hal O'The Wynd

#5: Louisiana Red

#6: St. James Flake
On the shelf, but not tried yet are:

Cumberland, Golden Sliced, Kajun Kake, Stratford, Telegraph Hill and Fillmore.
About to buy some Bayou Morning and Bulls Eye... and some Dorchester if I ever can get my hands on some ;-)

C&D Red Carpet is a nice smoke if ya like VaPers

Mick Cumberland is a great smoke with a good dose of Nic i need to get 1/2 a pound or two

Davidoff Flake Medallions is one that took me aback at just how tasty it was. VaPer with a black cavendish core. Sweet but not biting and pretty darn flavourful.

 

[ohin3]

I have been meaning to give Flake Medallions a try. I will definitely be adding to my next TAD order.

+1 on the Escudo. I wish I had gotten interested in this tobacco sooner!
