I don't know why but VAs or VaPers are my go to everyday mostly the VaPer variety because straight VA can be a bit 1 dimensional. I've currently been stuck on Cringle Flake 2022 and a home blend of about 80/20 PS LNF rubbed out and long cut perique chopped not pulverized but chopped, really great, but I want to press it for a few days and see how that is. I can only imagine
I started in aromatics, and then progressed to English tobaccos, and finally got to VaPers. This wasn't any mystery to this. Simply over time my taste just migrated to VaPers. This change in taste happened over a 50-year time span.
In the beginning when I started Virginia's bit me hard but now as I have progressed a little (3 yrs ) I find myself starting to appreciate them more and more. Definitely have a space in my cabinet for pure aged Virginia . Primarily I'm an English blend smoker but second to that is Virginia
