Pipe Smokers Forums

So: I am a HUGE fan of Virginia / Perique blends. I have sampled all types and all cut varieties. It’s a straight forward blending of Virginias and their flavors are enhanced by the addition of Perique.

I have ordered two tins of Seattle Pipe Club’s “Deception Pass” & I beg the opinion of the forums-

If I were to blend Virginia, Cavendish, Orientals, and Perique together- would I still have a Va/Per blend?

To throw my two cents out there, I think that sounds like an intriguing combination, that isn’t a Va’Per in my mind. What do y’all think?

Tobacco Reviews says Deception Pass is a VaPer
"Black Cavendish, Oriental/Turkish, Perique, Virginia"
I have no problem either way
VaPer or not VaPer
I have may fair share and them some of Deception Pass
Works for me

In my opinion a Va/Per is Virginia and Perique with maybe a slight rum topping, period end of story. You start adding sour Orientals you might as well add latakia and call it a Balkin.

This. I can see adding a sprinkle of Cav and still calling it a Va/Per.. but Orientals and you've just gone too far. He's right.. you are basically one ingredient away from Nightcap with that mix.

Also, Deception Pass is good stuff. My opinion.. One of the few SPC blends I don't find to be a muddled, everything-under-the-kitchen-sink mishmash.

I'm sort of an old school purist when it comes to Va/Per, Navy Roll's are preference.

If That's a Vaper, then captain black is an English

Here's the only def I could find:

vaper
noun [ C ]
UK /ˈveɪ.pər/ US /ˈveɪ.pɚ/

a person who vapes, especially by using e-cigarettes:
The bar was filled with late-night vapers.

Victorian woman who is about to faint :"She has the Vapors "

Tomato/tomato. It's all in how you pronounce it. I don't have a dog in the Va/Per debate. If it's good, I'll smoke it. If it isn't good, it will last longer. There is something to be said for a tin that lasts a long time---It's always waiting for you.

I’ve got a few that’ll wait longer than the time it took to get a burger at Howard Johnsons
