I thought I was a confirmed VA man. I even traded away some aged Orientals I had. I believed I'd never smoke them. Then a steady diet of VA resulted in severe tongue and palate bite. I had to quit the VA for awhile. So I smoked alot of Burley. After awhile I got kind of bored with that. So I started smoking some Latakia blends in my meers. I just had to find the right blends. The dunhills for instance. Both 965 and EMP agree with me. Now I'm careful to rotate my blends.

BTW, if you are sad that Orlik discontinued Dark Strong Kentucky, try Peter Heinrich's Dark Strong Flake. It's pretty much the same.
