I've only tried St. James Woods. I like it, but am wondering how it stacks up against the other Va/Pers mentioned here.

St James Woods was the last McC I tried before I threw in the towel in on their VA blends. I really wanted to like their stuff but for me there's more flavor in a bag of Half&Half than there is in their VAs. I know they have a lot of supporters here but I only turn to them for latakia blends

Well, I took all three with me on my 14 hour drive (each way) to Banff. Having smoked at least 4 bowls of each now, I have to say that my favorite is the Escudo. St. James Flake is solidly in second, but I still enjoy the Fillmore. All in all, I'm glad I have all three, and I will finish the Fillmore, but I probably won't keep it in my rotation. The three VAPERs that I will continue to purchase/smoke/cellar will be the Escudo, St. James Flake, and Scottish Cake. BTW, Doyle I'm glad you enjoyed the package!

Order it from smokingpipes.com. Even with the shipping costs, it'll probably be cheaper on-line versus your B&M (or you could just pony up a $75 order and get free shipping!).
