There are a lot of them. If you look on TR for "contains latakia" and "has vanilla flavor," you get http://www.tobaccoreviews.com/search?Co ... rs=Vanilla.Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Wed Jan 09, 2019 7:50 pmI didn't even know that the category existed until you made mention of HGL somewhere in the old stomping grounds

If you select Blend type "Aro" with the contains Latakia.. you get 91 blends that are in production! Only reason I switched it was that I didn't see EGR.. Plum(?) topped with Lat, and then BAM tons of stuff I didn't know existed.Fr_Tom wrote: ↑Wed Jan 09, 2019 8:16 pmThere are a lot of them.

They seem to sell enough of it to produce bulks and create new ones.houtenziel wrote: ↑Wed Jan 09, 2019 8:25 pmIf you select Blend type "Aro" with the contains Latakia.. you get 91 blends that are in production!

The hearth & home lineup has some stellar blends in it. Classic burley kake is fantastic and if you like to dip your toes into the VaPer pool Anniversary kake is right there towards the top as well. I have a tin of Magnum Opus which came highly recommended from a friend I trust. I'm told another friend of mine is going to set me up with a tin of Viprati, so we shall see. Louisiana Red and AJ's VaPer are both good. And the now discontinued Old Tartan is a real good smoke for me. I'm sure there's plenty more, but that's what I remember off the top of my headMikeDennison wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 3:34 pmThat Trout Stream is really good stuff. CBK is just in a class of it's own, IMO.

While I'm primarily a burley sorta guy, I do enjoy a good VaPer once in a while. I can +1 your take on Louisiana Red, and have often been tempted to order some Anniversary Kake and give that a try. You may have just pushed me over the edge, sir!Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 6:25 pmThe hearth & home lineup has some stellar blends in it.

At one point before I discovered the forums, I smoked mostly Old Companion and Louisiana Red. My first online tobacco order was in a search for a better price on Granger. Local distribution was poor, and the tubs were about $35. I got CBK and Anniversary Kake in that first order just because they sounded like something I would like. I like them both, but landed on Old Companion and Louisiana Red as goto smokes.
Then I found the forums and TR.

My favorite all day everyday blend was McClelland - No. 2015 Virginia Perique Flake. Since the abandonment by McC I've been hoarding my stash and have been on a psudo replacement quest. I'm happy to say I found my ED smoke which I will always keep on hand.
