[QUOTE="monbla256, post: 406936, member: 2244"] I've smoked Va's for close to 30+ years and tried many of the offerings from the folks in the Lakelands over this time and for my taste, none of them really did "it" for me as compared to the offerings from the boys in KC. I think it mainly is the overall difference btwn the varieties of Va leaf and how they are prepared that are definately very different for BOTH blenders. McC's using predominately domestic ( Carolina produced mostly) Red/Orange flue cured Va leaf as opposed to the African and European varieties of Yellow and Brightleaf Va's in the Lakelands blends. Remember, even if many of these blends might not have the "old lady soap" topping in them, they are STILL Lakelands blends as THAT"S where they are made, in the Lakelands district of England !! As far as the other two domestic blenders of Va blends, C&D and GLP ( whose blends are MADE for him by C&D) they both seem to favor more of the brighter Va's in there blends and these are just not in my wheelhouse !! :twisted: :twisted: [/QUOTE]
