I received an order back in March of which I jarred all but enough for several bowls. I recall it needing a substantial amount of drying time. It reminded me of FVF with a slight hint of perique and on some puffs I didn’t detect any perique at all (I know it's there, just subtle IMO). However, I only had a few bowls and this may not have been enough to really judge fairly. I thought it best to let the remaining tobacco age a few years before giving it the full assessment.
