I haven't tried AJ's Vaper yet but I bought an ounce of LA red. I really enjoy the flavor but am having a tough time keeping it lit and getting it burn to the bottom. Do you usually dry it out before you smoke it? Do you have any other favorites from the Heath and Home series you would recommend giving a try?

That's awesome that you live so close. I live about 40 minutes from smokingpipes.com's store down in Little River, SC. Unfortunately they don't blend their own tobacco there.
As far as Hearth & Home blends, I've had 6 of their blends:
- Trout Stream (Aro)
- AJ's VaPer (VaPer)
- LA Red (VaPer)
- Marble Kake (Virginia)
- Anniversary Kake (VaPer)
- Virginia Spice (VaPer with some cigar leaf)
and I would recommend any of these. With the LA Red, from what I've ordered so far, it does come a bit damp. I usually let it dry out for 30 60 minutes before packing it into the pipe.
