MacBaren needs to start sending me commission.Lately I've been on a Va kick, happily smoking Mac Baren Va#1, Va Flake, and Sutliff Red Va Crumble Kake. I find that good Va's are both light and flavorful at the same time, have wonderful burn characteristics (i.e., don't need many relights and burn down to dry ash), and have little/no aftertaste.
In my last order that I received yesterday, I got a 3.5 oz tin of HH ODF. It was a refill after using up my sample that someone here on the forum graciously gifted me. I love this stuff.
In an effort to branch out a bit and continue learning about pipe tobaccos, I included some MB Golden Extra and HH Burley Flake. Had some bowls yesterday but am still trying to figure out the taste. Tastes for me seem to develop over several days of smoking, as though my tongue has to get used to stuff. Definitely burns cooler than Va, and the flavor/aroma is more subtle. After getting used to Va, I have to work harder to pick out the flavors and smells.
Also threw in some Capstan (the yellow flake tin) and C&D Manhattan Afternoon, but won't crack these open until I finish up my current three tins of Va that I'm working through.
Plum Pudding is a great tobacco and even better is Plum Pudding Special Reserve.Got a great deal on a tin of SPC Plum Pudding a few weeks ago. Just loaded up my first bowl and am puffing away happily on the porch.

If you get a chance, try MacBaren HH Pure Virginia. I like it better when fresh.I had my first bowl of Full Virginia Flake yesterday. I have been really enjoying straight VAs recently, and FVF was delicious!
As it happens, I have a tin of HH Pure Virginia. I am looking forward to trying it for the first time.If you get a chance, try MacBaren HH Pure Virginia. I like it better when fresh.

First bowl of Sutliff Molto Dolce
I think and like the hazelnut profile of the Labrador. I would say that the Molto is much wetter. I let it sit for 5 min before packing. May give it 15 min next timeHow does it compare to Labrador?
