One of My Favs

[Bourbonandcigars]

Aged Kajun Kake. With about 10 years or more of age, this crumble cake enters in my top 3 blends of all time. Wonderful sweet and sour notes all the way down. This particular tin is form 2008. I’m smoking through an 8oz tin of this from 2009 now and wonderful. And it smells like a dessert

What’re some of your favorite straight Virginia flakes? And vapers? (Not even sure Kajun kake is a vaper now that I think about it with cavendish added)

AT this very second FVF ... ask me again in 3 hours and it will probably change to whatever I'm smoking then.

Fvf with age is one of my favorites too. I do prefer best brown flake though.

In VaPers = Rattray’s Old Gowrie
In Straight Va’s = Capstan Original navy cut

Thanks for this review as I love straight VA's.

I love MacBaren's Virginia HH, both of the Capstan's (Blue & Yellow) and if you haven't tried Country Squire's Faulkner Flake, I suggest you grab some.

I actually want to try FVF but have a terrible time finding it in stock. If anyone has any secrets on where to get it, please give a shout out.

Wow, 15 years of age! Wish I had stocked up on VAs back then instead of Englishes that flattened out too much.

Yeah I was lucky to find what I liked pretty early on when I first started smoking. So I stocked up on lots of things.

Wait until your tastes change then the hunt will begin again!!

It’s been the same for almost 20 years now haha.

Solani 633 and Salty Dogs are my favorites. But, as both have a topping, they might not qualify as straight VA/VaPer.

Lately C&D Opening Night and Orlik Golden Sliced respectively, although I'm thinking the latter barely has enough perique to constitute its VaPer label.

Opening night is a favorite of like too

This is a trip. Yes, I smoked English blends until I work up on morning and discovered I loved Vapers and didn't really care for English's anymore. This was a mere 40 years between these two events.

You're right about the Orlik barely having perique. I try to coordinate my cellar jars by grouping them by type of tobacco (yes, I am a bit OCD). I have the Orlik in my Va's instead of the Vapers.....

Sounds like you might also have a bit of Obsessive Grouping Syndrome (OGS!). And I would know because I share this affliction!

 

[BingBong]

FVF and FVP (the plug version), Germain Golden Flake and Brown Flake (don't care for SG Best Brown, love the Germain, go figure).

VaPers: SG Cabbies Mixture, St James Flake and Plug, Petersons Deluxe Navy Rolls and Elizabethan. Struggled with Rattrays Marlin Flake, cloying sweetness when fresh.

You got that right........ If it is "obsessive" then I've got it.......
