VaPer recommendation?

[TampaPete]

Hi,

I'm looking for a VaPer recommendation, preferably one that has a bulk offering or perhaps an 8oz tin available.

I've had and enjoyed (Peterson's) Elizabethan, and I have maybe an ounce of very well aged PS BullsEye flake.

I've been considering:
Stratford and Fillmore from GL Pease
Bayou Morning from C&D
Luxury Navy Flake from PS

I have had Luxury Navy a while back, but don't remember much about it besides thinking it maybe had a bit of a topping?
I'm not really sensitive to vitamin-N, so I'm not too worried about that factor.

Are there any others I should look into?

Thanks!
TampaPete

First one that comes to mind is GL Pease Telegraph Hill, it’s a wonderful smoke and comes in an 8oz. tin.

MATCH Victorian is similar to Elizabethan; I think it's better and it is a bulk offering.

Escudo, wcc rouxgaroux, WCC 558, wcc r&b, ps 400, chenet cake, es evening flake, bayou morning, ps 403 bullseye flake, Stratford, windjammer, Cumberland, haddos delight, Boswell private stock. Just to name a few. I love va per.

I love Bayou Morning, especially with just a bit a age on it

GLP Sixpence and Fillmore are two Pease 8oz’er I like to have around. I haven’t gotten around to my tin of Telegraph Hill yet. Chenet’s Cake is liked by many, but I’ve got no personal experience yet.

Match Victorian is my go-to bulk, but I do like tangy red Va. PS 400 is solidly good bulk Va with a little perique that I’m building up stock on (and only gets better with time).

I like GL Pease Stratford, Haddo’s Delight, Fillmore (which has a tiny amount of Latakia in it), and Telegraph Hill.
HU Director’s Cut is very good.
PS LBF is excellent with about 4 years of aging. PS tobaccos are released very young, barely out of the shell, so they need time to develop flavor.
Most of my favorites are no longer available.

Six Pence by G.L. Pease comes to mind. They are offered in 8-ounce tins.

Boswell - J.M. Private Stock is a great Va/Per and it's only available in bulk.
G.L. Pease also has a few quality Va/Pers.

I completely forgot about that one. P&C carries it, correct?

I do like red Va's, will check that one out too.

Good to know, I've had his Northwoods and really enjoyed that.

What he said. This is my baseline VaPer. I’m not even sure it’s my favorite VaPer, but it is what I judge every other one by. It simple, and each component is always obvious but always complimentary to the other. To my palate, the perique has more dark fruit than spice. Sometimes I think this blend kinda tastes like a chocolate covered cherries.

Haddo’s delight became my favorite after searching for my favorite but I guess it has some burley and cavendish in it.

Like @MattRVA and @krizzose said G. L. Pease Telegraph Hill is right up there maybe right at the top. A tobacco no one has said is Peterson Deluxe Navy Rolls, very good, not in your face with the perique and ages sublimely.

For the price I'm a big fan of PS Luxury Navy Flake. I usually age it at least one year before smoking to that might not help you immediately. The GLP recommendations are good too.

 

[Servant King]

Yep, and in fact, they carry a decent number of other match tobaccos.

That’s another one on I want to try, I’ve heard a lot of good things.

If it ever makes it to the US (it might this year) You must try their vapers. They are the best Ive had....thought there are plenty from the US I cant get now.

I'm not aware of DNR being available in 8oz bulk, though, which was a criterion. If we're talking 2oz, the field widens considerably - SG's Cabbies is top of my list, followed by St James Flake and the Plug version ( which resembles DNR on interstellar overdrive, imho).
