Picked up the Amphora sampler pack a while back. Also have the Amphora Match but Have heard it is nothing alike.
Have only tried the Kentucky so far since that pouch was opened upon delivery while the rest were sealed. It's a bit dry which could be due to circumstance but flavorful and could understand the comparisons between ODF.
Look forward to the other blends as they seem to get decent praise.

MacBites Amphora Virginia is decent smoke: little grass, little wood, tart fruit. A bit sharp for my liking if not sipped, but overall a good "pouch" OTC Virginia 
Amphora Match is a match for Full Aroma.
Amphora Original, Burley, and Virginia are all regulars in my rotation. The Virginia ages nicely - give it a year, and it smooths out beautifully.
Thanks for the tip. Plan on letting them sit for a while (accept for the Kentucky which was opened on arrival and Very dry). Will have to pick up a pouch of the Original.
Have just tried the Burley and Virginia. Although I prefer the Burley ,the Virginia is quite good also,will be getting more of the Burley in my next order,
I really like the Kentucky blend the one you can't get in the UK/EU.Its not bitter like other Kentucky blends I have tried, you can taste the DFK but it is sweeter with the added VA.I have to get my fix from SP.
Sorry dude but Amphora VA is nothing like Condor, with or without the topping. I love both but don’t think they are even remotely comparable. Amphora VA is closer to something like FVF than Condor.
(Now that I’m posting this, I’m feeling like we’ve already done this before, have we had this conversation before? I’m now seeing that this is an older thread so it’s possible we’ve done this before... either that or I’m having major Déjà Vu)
Very close match , although if you ask me, in my opinion ,HH Burley flake has more refined taste
Thanks for the heads up Paul I will stick with HH Burley Flake which I really like and Amphora Kentucky. I just checked Estervals they are now carrying both blends.
Oh dang, I just thought he was sick or something.
Again??? This place is gettin real PC here lately... ?
Yea I really don't know anything about it..
+1 on the too P.C. these days.. Unfortunately It's getting like that everywhere.
Brobs and I disagree on ton of stuff, but remain good friends.. I guess sometimes it's just about being tolerant of the next guy, and having thicker skin.

Well that sucks, like I said before, I think he brought some life back into these forums. I’m sure you’ll be able to find him where all the folks that get the boot go... the island of misfit toys (Reddit).
