Some other suggestions:

Semois
GH Kendal Kentucky
SPC gran croupier (add some perique or dark fired)
Grab some whole leaf burley and cavendish (steam) process it and press it
Semois is on my list. I actually wanted to pick some up along with some Pegasus and both were sold out on smoking pipes.

I smoke a lot of Briar Fox and Pegasus. Briar Fox is surprisingly more Virginia forward to me than it is Burley.

Pegasus is just easy smoking goodness.
I was thinking about maybe buying some today. I might try Briar Fox. I gotta get an oil change for my car too though, and it's like way past due, so you know, ...... Decisions.

I just ordered some Night Train and Bourbon Blue from C&D. Kids were running through the house so I was side tracked when ordering. Didn't really look at eithera description

The TAD begins…
Ahh...to an extent. Because I'm new, I'm on a journey to find the flavors. Eventually I plan to just bulk up on just a few of my favorites. I got a list of about 40 different kinds of like to try and new ones always popping up, so it'll probably take awhile. But eventually I'll settle on just a few probably. I like C&D because they sell 8oz and 16oz Cans. I like that.

Have you tried Oak Alley? It's Burley blend with Oriental added along with Virginia and Perique.
I actually had it in my shopping cart last month and for some reason took it out. It's on my list though, I've been meaning to try. I've never had Oriental leaf besides Latakia. I want to try Sunday Picnic, it has Oriental in it I think.

Just smoked some Night Train. I like it. It's kinda spicy, I think it'll taste better after jarred for a bit. I got old Joe Krantz starring at me, so I think that'll be next.

I think you'll find that to be true about most C&D blends.
Well I've noticed with some blends anyway that they aren't very good right when ya open em. Haddos delight took a couple weeks before it transformed into something amazing. I've found Haunted Bookshop is good right from the beginning. And it does get better too, but man you can pop that top and get ya a scoop and smokes great.

So I popped the OJK this morning, smoking while I write this. Enjoying my bowl with some Starbucks black coffee. OJK is as advertised.... delicious. And a lot like Haunted Bookshop. Too early to tell if I prefer it, but m
