I'd agree with cabbies and sg st James Flake, which are favorites. I have a tin of Directors cut waiting in the que.
Vapers? Hmm.. Yes!

You should do a review on it. I would love to hear your thoughts on the directors cut.
I smoke Orlich Golden Sliced and Boswells Private Stock but the pound!! In fact I always have at least 10 tins of OGS in my cellar. For a special treat, I will smoke Escudo.
I hear ya, but as a cheapskate, I’ve refrained from buying it so I can stay happy in my budget.
Point is, there’s a lot of options and considerations. I support the guy that buys every McClelland he can find, regardless of cost just as much as I support the guy that buys a pound of RYO a month at his local truck stop.
Like grandpa said, “it’s a good thing everybody like different things, otherwise every guy would be trying to jump grandma”
Very true. I’m not trying to promote or hype up the directors cut so they inflate the price. It just happens to be one I enjoy more than most. There are many great VaPers out there. You may like one I don’t care for, and I may like one that many people don’t care for. That’s the beauty of it. Find what ya like and smoke it!
T.M. @woodsroad “why smoke something you don’t like”
I'll have to follow up on that, probably on the weekend, when I have time to focus.
Even though it’s a coin cut, I still rub it out into almost ribbon and let it dry a bit. I have smoked it in coin form too. Still just as good.
I second GL Pease Telegraph Hill as a very easy blend to smoke.
Love grandpa's quote............
Vapers are my favorite as well.
You simply must try Rattray's Hal o the Wynd when you get a chance. It's probably my #1 tobacco right now.
It has a tiny bit of dark fired kentucky, but it's a very minor player. Mainly it's just delicious red Virginias and Perique.

Plenty of great VaPer suggestions here. Since you are liking these, i'd suggest trying something with some oriental mixed in. There are also plenty of good V/O/P blends out there, too
Twilight
Regent's Flake
Sunday Picnic
These would be a decent start and give you a new flavor to add to the mix.

I love Peterson's Elizabethan + Esoterica's Dorchester. Both very easy smoking and elegant.
I continually find it hilarious that self-appointed leaders on another board that I frequent cling rather vocally to the delusion that current-production Peterson Elizabethan Match is superior to Sutliff Match Victorian, when it is so obvious that SMV blows the current EM out of the water. Some pipers, man...C&D Exclusive

I had to round-file some Peterson Elizabethan earlier this year after being accustomed to SMV, couldn’t even finish one smoke off the stuff.
If I’d have known I would’ve put a stamp on it and sent it to ’em.
Actually, I should’ve sent it to Jim for a review-that may have Ben interesting.
I am looking forward to this. Something I have not yet tried.
So far I've got a few tins set back in a bin ripening up, its a nice thing to look forward to.
Picked up 5 of this C&D Red flake w/ perique and I regret not buying many more for aging.
Some great suggestions here. I like a little dark fired with my vapers. For the price you can't beat the Rattray's Trinity: HOTW, Old Gowrie, and Brown Clunee (in order of personal preference).
Scottish Cake is also amazing.
Solani 633 for something more light and sweet.
Salty Dogs for something smooth and deep.
Escudo is the benchmark.
Peterson DLNR worth trying for a splurge.

Do like my Bayou Morning. But, find I like Old Joe Krantz just a tad more. Tend to alternate buying them. Don't seem to buy a blend that doesn't have perique in it.
