Virginia

I'm looking for a good Virginia blend. Ever since smoking PS Bullseye flake, I'm just craving the stuff. I'd also like to try some straight Virginias as well. Thanks, LeRoy

Bullseye Flake is a VaPer. There must be a thousand threads here where people list there favorite Virginia blends and straight Virginia. Since they're easy to get, I'd recommend trying GLP Union Square or C&D Opening Night. Newminster 400 is another good one. Orlik Golden Sliced is superb. All readily available.

I would go for Capstan Blue Flake and learn how to smoke flakes. For my money nothing smokes as well as flake tobacco. I get more flavor from a flake than any other cut of tobacco. You can also try the Capstan Gold Flake. That has more citrus flavors going on.

1+ For capstan blue. Definitely a solid blend to try if you are looking to Virginia’s.

Capstan Blue Flake is the way to go!

Add Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake to your list.

I'd second the Capstan, but would give a nod to Stokkkebye Virginia Slices, as well.

Capstan Blue Flake or ready rubbed.
Ready rubbed is easier for me to get here in the UK.
I have a bowl of it every morning. Impossible to get tired of.

After growing my own for quite a while now, I have become repulsed by most of what Europeans do to Virginias. So, take my suggestions for what it is. C&Ds Virginia Flakes are about the only retail Virginias I smoke these days, unless we're talking small batch.
