Is SG's Full Virginia Flake is good as everyone seems to think it is? Is it equal to Dunhill Flake? I would try it myself, but just can't seem to find anybody who has it in stock. I guess I have kind of given up and was just asking the groups thoughts. Anything comparable...or better that is easily available? Thanks.
FVF?

FVF is in a class all it's own in my opinion. I love the stuff but I do find it to be a bit finicky. There is a sweet spot when it comes to drying time that, if achieved, provides a very one sided but delicious kind of roasted coffee, dark chocolate and caramelized brown sugar flavour. I find it to be best when on the dry side and tightly packed. I like both fully rubbed and fold and stuff. Always smoke in slow easy sips. Fully rubbed makes for a very good DGT.
It is a very tasty Virginia but requires a lot of drying. You'll come across a tin sometime, grab it, you will probably enjoy it.
Love the FVF, would smoke it in my sleep if I could 
As with all SG flake you really...really gotta dry her out, otherwise
a muted smoke you will get....do or do not there is no try
