Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia
(3.37)
A blend composed of both air dried and flue cured Virginia tobaccos. HH Pure Virginia is 100% Virginia tobaccos from North America and Africa. Both continents have a high reputation for growing the finest Virginia tobaccos in the world. Like all tobaccos in the HH family this blend has no top flavour and only the absolute necessary casing in order to emphasize the natural tobacco taste. You will experience the natural sweetness and “grassy” taste from the Virginia tobacco.

Given this one's ready availability and also the fact you can buy a bulk version of it, I was hoping this could be a substitute for some of the other coveted straight Va. flakes out there.
While this has the grassy tin note and flavour, it unfortunately has a bit more sharpness / bite to it than some other offerings like Gawith's FVF or Capstan Blue. It might be a little closer to F&T Cut Virginia Plug though.
Still, if you're out of a Va. flake and cannot find FVF, don't want to pay the Capstan prices, then this could certainly do, but a better option might be Peterson/Dunhill Flake.

As a newer pipe smoker, I am mainly exploring the different blends (I favor aromatic blends, although I am dipping my toes into the non-aromatic blends now) to find what I like. Opening the tin, what I smelled was hay. Pure tobacco, it was wonderful... a pleasant taste and mild! This has gone into my rotation and I will be trying other Virginia blends in the future!
