A Virginia without Perique is like peanut butter on bread with no jam...
Yes so far C&D exclusive is a winA Virginia without Perique is like peanut butter on bread with no jam...
Here's some suggestions of straight VA's that you can buy today, instead of listing unavailable/unobtainable blends :P
Union Square
Yorktown
Capstan Blue/Gold
Newminster 400
Macbaren Pure VA/VA Flake
You can get any of these on smokingpipes.com right now. Use their tobacco locater, search by VA's only and you'll find much more. Once you figure out your tastes more then you can work on getting some of that unobtanium.

thanks for the list looks like yorktown is going on the wishlist (got that strength)
This list i started with, think you posted it in another thread asking for VAs awhile back and i found much love there.
I’d add McConnell Red Virginia and Orlik Golden Sliced to the list
The one I was thinking of is Sutliff Stoved Black Virginia 507-S:
Tobacco Reviews | Sutliff Tobacco Company - Stoved Virginia #507-S
P&C is the only place I've found that stocks it now

Another is Sutliff 507S (stoved). But very different from Newminster 400.
Just picked up 3 pounds of this, going to use a lot of it for trying my own blends, already pressed a cake of this and MB Virginia No 1 that came out very good.
ordered 2 oz of the stoved , excited , as i like the kendal dark alot
I originally bought this to blend, but found I like it a lot on it's own. I always have some ready to smoke.
Try some Cornell and Diehl Derringer. Highly underrated blend. Contains red and brown virginias, is available in bulk and is inexpensive. This is an everyday smoke for me. I sip and smoke this gently to bring out the nuances. It has more low notes than Yorktown and,hell, it's American. It also enhances any bourbon I've paired with it. Enjoy your journey!
Something different from those already mentioned how about Petersons Royal Yacht?
I can also vouch for GLP Union Square though.

Yeah I have a tin of it I like the ribbon cut and all but I need more strength, liking the stoved and dark Virginia’s , I’m partial to ODF and BDF from the Mac Barren HH
Capstan Blue Flake
Peterson Flake
Peterson Irish Flake
Peterson Navy Rolls.
All of the above are available and easy to purchase. I could give you a much longer list but those are all hard to get.
The Peterson Flake and Navy Rolls were both Dunhill blends when they were still making tobacco.
