I have had a tin of FVF for about 7-8 month there sitting on the shelf.
Not a tin actually, I had already transferred the content in a airtight container.
It was just there, miserable. Why? Probably because of the smell. I gotta say, I don't find the tin smell to be much of anything. To be it was just old leather. Some people smell berries and stuff. I don't, really.
Anyway, 2 things happened recently. The first being Tim massive share of very old FVF, it for me thinking that maybe that blend is worth it's money and I am just a stubborn idiot.
The second being about the cut. These thin sticky brown flake didn't appeal to me. I had an experience with them in the past, and I really didn't enjoy smoking it. I found flakes to be really hard to smoke, and for awhile, I just didn't smoke any. But recently I have been advised to cube cut the whole thing, which I did. And here is the result.
Just had my first ever bowl of FVF in a random bent Capitol. I really didn't expect it to be that good. I loaded the machine up. Lit it up and sat my butt on a bench park.
Man am I glad I smoked that ? Yes indeed! I was just really really nice. Very fruity, very sweet, very mellow.
Here was the Virginia sweetness that I have been hearing so much about, that I think I experienced before but not sure. Here it was crystal clear. It was right there, it was amazing.
Only the first half of the bowl though. For some reason, the second half didn't do it for me that much.
So there it is, first exceadingly (half bowl) satisfying Virginia experience. They haven't all been like that. Maybe it's the 7 months on the shelf, maybe it's just because it's great, maybe...
