What's a Vapor Tobacco?

[jazzlover]

I recently purchased Bayou Morning by Cornell and Diehl. I read on TobaccoReviews.com that Bayou Morning is a vapor tobacco. What does that mean?

 

[bigboi]

I think they meant Va/Per. This means it is a Virginia based tobacco with Perique Tobacco in it if I am correct.

jazz, do you like that Bayou Morning? If so there is a whole world of Virginia/Perique blends waiting for you to discover. I would suggest getting a tin of Escudo, it is the Vaper that all others are judged by and one great classic blend.

Well IMO the best blends of tobacco made a great VA and adding just the right amount of Perique equals the best smoke for many. I would try Escudo and SG FVF as two that are Vapers, but on different sides of the spectrum. To me the best way to enjoy a Vaper is in flake. It's ok in ribbon, but nothing beats the smoke of smoldering coals twirling from the top of the bowl. Sorry typing through a twirl of FVF now :puffpipe:

:rofl: It could also be argued that it's a brand's line for which every blend that you want to purchase says, "Out of stock" or "Backordered."

I have not tried escudo yet but IMO St. James Flake is more than just fine

 

[Perique]

A VaPer is an inferior tobacco blend of dubious quality. Those who were suckered into buying one of these nasty tobaccos - do not fret. Simply send them on to me for proper disposal

To me SG SJF has just the right amount of Perique. It is a very rich and creamy smoke with subtle spiciness.

Samuel Gawith St James Flake is also a great blend and if you are a vapor lover it is a must try. It is more difficult to obtain, but worth the chase in my opinion.

I'm a big fan of Va/Pers. The Perique cuts down on the tendency of Virginias to bite and adds a little nicotene kick to boot. While Escudo is the gold standard, Pease Telegraph Hill and McClelland 2015 are also right up there in my book.
