VaPer Suggestions

Luxury bullseye flake gets my vote here, I like it better than Escudo due to the little cavendish in the center

Well said, Witchofthehollow. PS/LBF is absolutely sublime with just a few yrs age.

LBF was my first VaPer, and still one of my favorites. LNF is OK, I have five pounds of it also. But I prefer LTF, though not a VaPer.

Yes, if aged. I have some that is 8 years old and the coins are almost black now. Sublime...

I'll throw in Davidoff Flake Medallions. Love the stuff.

I like LBF as well as LNF better than Escudo. To me Escudo is too bland.

My first VaPer was H&H Viprati. Very tasty.
My second was LBF. I enjoy it also, but one must work a bit harder to get all the flavors. I jarred up 3/4 of a pound and put the rest in a tin, which I smoke occasionally. Just the two months in the open tin have added to it a bit, so I can't wait for the aged version.
If you REALLY want a light Perique, get some Orlik Gloden Sliced. The perique is so light, it's often hard to find.
My most recent pleasant surprise for VaPer was Russ Oulette's Perique Blend SV-23. Smooth and somewhat sweet and capable of an all day smoke.

Orlik Golden,Solani 633,Reiner Long, and Rattray's Ol Gowrie are my top four Lighter VaPers so far.

Just guessing, but it seems like Virginia/Perique blends are second only to the many iterations of English and similar (Balkan, American-English with burley, etc.) in popularity in the premium blends. That would be other than OTC, tub, and bag tobaccos. That's why there are so many, many Va/Pers, including staunch old standards and many newer blends. I would guess there are well into the hundreds marketed in the U.S.

I only recently tried this for the first time myself. I think it is going to quickly become one of my favorites. So much better than escudo!!!

During this recent bilk sale at P&C, I got some H&H AJ's VaPer.
I'm smoking my second bowl of it now.
Sweet red Virginia, unflavored black cavendish and a lightly peppery perique.
Nicely done and I'll add it to your list.

Russ Ouellette’s Fire Storm ain’t too shabby !!!

Thanks Jay, yeah I was wondering about the new RO blends, will try that as well.

The RO Perique blends are very good. My favorite is GP-11. They're a great way to experience the diversity of flavors that Periques grown in different area offer.
