Just by chance, I'm polishing off my tin of Russ O.'s Fire Storm on this Christmas day. Didn't plan it, but looked around for something good. Never jarred this because it was in rotation, and I could tell it wasn't going to linger long. This is a Va/Per with an extra or two that stays interesting down the bowl. I'm smoking it in a Luciano author with a smooth finish, just the right broad and fairly deep bowl that shows off this blend. We've recently received the good news that Russ' blends will be around for a while, so I am especially glad to hear that. If you are Va/Per appreciator and want a treat, and haven't tried this blend, I highly recommend it. I like various of Russ' blends, like Log Cabin, a great Americana blend, and his experimental Balkan M-61, but I think Fire Storm must be one of his master works. It just has that extra "ah" factor that shows off leaf at its best.
