GH Kendai scotch cake.
For me it's the essence of what Virginia tobacco is all about. Mild and natural.

It's all said and done, they chose fantastic tobaccos. I liked among many others, Yorktown.

Capstan Blue Flake. It has a certain something that none of the other blends have. A kind of subtle, dry sweetness, more marzipan than fruit, but subtle.

C&D Derringer has an array of bright and dark va’s. Very tasty.

C&D Derringer has an array of bright and dark va’s. Very tasty.

You've referenced Derringer a lot. Yorktown gets mentioned too.

I have about 2 ounces of each jarred from a C&D bulk sale where I splurged to sample their bar of blends.

I suppose it may be time to dip into them.

I'm going to say HH Pure Virginia.

When Union Square is at its best, I may like it even better. But it's inconsistent for me.

Capstan Blue is a close second.

I'll tip my hat to Newminster 400 as a delicious VA, too, but to me the topping is strong enough to call into question whether it's more Aromatic than Straight VA.

I don't fancy straight Virginias too often but when I do I always reach for Peterson Flake or Wessex Brown Flake. More rarely (because it's so hard to get and I don't have a ton), I will open a tin of J.F. Germain's Medium Flake as a treat.

I think we're lucky in this day & age to have so many great Virginias to choose from. Only one favourite though & for me that's GH's Westmorland Slices.
