FVF?

[thbg]

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 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.

As with all SG flake you really...really gotta dry her out, otherwise

Cupojoes has it in stock http://cupojoes.com/cgi-bin/dept?dpt=F&srch=DF&tier2=68. I have run across it at a few other web stores as well lately while looking for another blend.

I don't care for FVF myself - I much prefer BBF. And it is nothing like Dunhill Flake.
