Virginias take longer to "get the hang of". But when you do finally get it, you may find yourself gravitating towards straight Virginias and VaPers.
I love the sweetness of a well aged Virginia. When I have a taste for this, nothing else satisfies!
I agree 100% with Bruce. This is exactly the trajectory I'm taking. That said, I *do* continue to get the occasional hankerin' for a nice English blend from time to time -- but the strongest ones are a bit too much for me. Then again, I may change my mind about that once winter rolls around -- English blends remind me of campfires, which are somewhat comforting on a cool/cold night.
