So, I'm addicted to this blend and was wondering if you guys have any recommendations/favorites.

I'm currently lovin' Dan tobacco's Limerick and Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake; but I'm always on the look out for a delicious new VA/Per.
 
Second Fillmore (plus Lombard, Stratford, and Telegraph Hill); also Escudo; McClelland's Beacon (+ the new Beacon Extra - wow!), St. James Woods, and Blakeney's Bayou Slice (highly underrated); C&D Three Friars.
 
Great suggestions so far, I'd add McConnells Scottish Cake , close to the Top of The list
 
Escudo, & Sunday Picnic by C&D (SP has a bit of turkish also I believe, so maybe not stricly Va/Per...not sure what the rules are for this game)
 
G&H's Louisiana fl., Peretti's London Flake,Reiner's Long Golden Fl., Solaini's 633, Escudo, for those that can stand it Mc's 2015, G&H's Deluxe CC, Ken :tongue:
 
I'm just starting to get into Va/Per's (from English/Balkans) and I can tell you that I'm really digging Escudo.
 
Escudo, St James Flake, Sunday Picnic are in my rotation right now. I would like to pick up some more Luxury Navy Flake, as that 2oz sample dissapeared quickly. It was a great morning smoke.

Is Kajun Kake considered a Vaper?
 
Escudo, GLP's Telegraph Hill, Solani 633, C&D Bayou Morning and Hearth&Home's Louisiana Red (whenever pipesandcigars.com manages to offer it again). If it were not for the heart of cavendish, which strictly speaking makes it a non-VaPer, I would add PS Luxury Bullseye Flake.
 
As with others I'll agree, Fillmore and will also add Haddo's Delight although I prefer it with at least 2 years in the tin. I'm also fond of SG St. James Flake, I have a few tins in the cellar that go back to 07', looking forward to opening them.
 
Escudo, Peterson Irish Oak, Dunhill Elizabethan Blend. Just tried the MacBaren Acadian Perique. Just out of the can I was unimpressed, but after a few days it got way better. Enough so that I´d recommend it. Smoking some this very moment actually. :lol:
 
Though I don't smoke VaPers anymore due to an allergy to perique, my picks would be Solani 633 as the richest tasting, Haddo's Delight as the strongest, and McConnell's Scottish Cake as the best all round.

There are several McClellands. One that isn't mentioned yet is the bulk 2015. Also Cornell & Diehl 067: Bayou Morning.
