Some members expressed an interest in this, so here are the results... informal as they may be.
I pulled 207 recommendations (so far) for VA or VaPer blends from past BoB posts. There were a total of 68 different blends recommended. These are the 13 that were recommended most frequently in those 207 recommendations.
Peter Stokkebye Escudo Navy Deluxe 7.73%
Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake 5.31%
H&H Anniversary Kake 4.83%
Solani 633 4.83%
GL Pease Fillmore 3.86%
McClelland 2015 3.86%
McClelland Beacon 3.86%
Rattray Marlin Flake 2.90%
Davidoff Flake Medallions 2.42%
GL Pease Haddo's Delight 2.42%
GL Pease Union Square 2.42%
Orlik Golden Sliced 2.42%
Samvuel Gawith St James Flake 2.42%
I chose to post 13 because there was a five-way tie for spots 9 and 10.
This does not mean that one is necessarily "better" than another, or that they taste similar, or that these are the most popular or best selling. These are just the VA and VaPer blends that BoB members have recommended most frequently in their past posts.
I noticed something while compiling the list that struck me as exactly why I thought this might be useful, at least to me, and probably others. I had already gone through over 100 recommendations and SG's FVF was not mentioned once! That seemed impossible! If someone new to VA's had waded through 100 recommendations, they could have easily never heard about FVF, or might have left thinking that it never gets recommended. Of course it ended up being #2 when I had gone through all 207 recommendations.
Of course this is not a complete sample, and the more I enter the more reliable I would think the results are. But I only had a couple of hours, so I did what I could.
