Virginia forward english recommendations

[Kevin Powers]

Hi there! I'm a new member here, I've been smoking pipes for around 15 years now. I am looking for an English blend that is virginia forward, a blend that contains oriental and latakia but they don't dominate the whole smoking experience. The closest I have found is squadron leader, I like that you have the smokyness present but you can really taste the delicious sweetness of the Virginia's, with almost like a cinnamon like hint in the background. I'm trying to find other Virginia forward english blends so I'm not relying only on one blend. Thanks!

Welcome Kevin great to have you with us mate Have you tried https://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend/960/rattray-professional-mixture/
I really,really like it when I can get it. Mellow but not to mellow for my liking.

Welcome to the group! Two G. L. Pease blends with a higher level of Virginia are Ashbury and Kensington, the Latakia and Orientals are there but not dominant.

Hey Brother, I like the same kind of blends! I have been enjoying Rattray"s Professional Mixture. Thanks for the recommendation of Squadron Leader!

Welcome to the group!
I wish I had something to offer as a recommendation but I don't gravitate towards Virginia forward blends most of the time. I'm unqualified!
