I wonder how old the box is. It seems consistency has suffered since G&H acquired SG. I keep reading about less sauce, too wet, too dry, and those godawful tins that don't seal. Bummer - Golden Glow is an amazing and underrated blend.

My tin of FVF requires 3-4 days of drying time to become combustible.
Add some Simply Oriental, could call it Not So Simple!
I’m smoking my first bowl - very good quality and tasty tobacco. Does anyone get a similar vibe as Dunbar, sans the apricot topping?
I taste me almost incense like sandlewood (ish). I probably should have dried it out longer, but looking forward to the next bowl!

The box is about 3 years old. Didn't have this issue in the past. It's mylared for now. Maybe it'll get better after a few years when I get back to it.
I got 4 ounces of it, I need to put some time aside to give it a go. I have to be in the right mood to try a new tobacco. Stars aligned properly etc, etc, etc.
I hope it's not anything like Golden Glow as I never cared for that blend. To me GG was like an goopy aromatic but that was quite a few years ago. Plus, the name "Simply Orange Virginia" has a fruit name in it which will go against my signature line (see below)

SOV is not like Golden Glow. The blend, as I noted in my review, is an Orange Virginia dominant tobacco. No toppings.
It could come back like Simply Red or RouxgarouxAhh I didn’t realize this was going to be a limited release, and now gone.
Next year. It's a once a year offering.
I just had my first bowl last night. The stuff is wonderful. and it's very smoky...for a straight VA, which I like, BTW.
And that's my review, lol. It's good. And smoky. 4 stars. Lol
I've been loving on this stuff. It's on the top of my charts for best straight virginias..up there with FVF. Bamm.
