I have done that with Ennerdale and Best Brown #2, the only baccy I have bought in large quantities ( 1 kg at a time ) based solely on reviews and not on sampling.
While FVF is an excellent baccy, I found it to require way too much fondling ( proper moisture level and pipe chamber size/shape ) to be enjoyable for my taste. Granted, I only had one tin of it, perhaps I need to buy a 250g box and jar it for a while, and my opinion of it might change.
