[QUOTE="Storm_Crow, post: 183970, member: 1695"] If it has cav that doesn't make it a non-VAper in my mind. I think of it in terms of perique in any reasonable even if small quantity combined primarily with a base tobacco of Virginia. Cav is not a base tobacco IMO, rather a condiment to mellow and smooth a smoke, so that disqualifies it off hand from making Marlin Flake a non-Vaper. I don't know how much cav is in it, but my guess is that it's significantly less than the VA content. Now if it had almost as much cav as VA or there was another base tobacco thrown in the mix (burley) then one might begin to argue that Marlin Flake is no longer a VaPer. In fact, I tend to turn my nose up at perique or latakia blends without cav (or at least a measure of burley). The cav doesn't bury these distinctive flavors, but it does take any harsh edge off them. [/QUOTE]
