They’re very good. Better yet, they are relatively inexpensive, only come in bulk, and are generally available. A newer smoker who generally likes Virginias and trying to build a cellar would be wise to buy a few pounds of LNF

I was looking for something to beef up my Va/Per options in my cellar. But I wanted to keep the cost relatively low.
I tried LTF a long time ago, and didn't enjoy it, but my tastes have changed quite a bit since then and everyone who likes VAs and Va/Pers raves about LNF, so I bought the 24oz box this weekend from SP.com.
I'll smoke a little fresh to get an idea of what the fuss is all about, but the main objective is to have some nicely aged flakes with 5-10 years on them, and just about every review I've read says that this blend is superb with some age, so I'm cautiously excited.
If it's anything like the 5yo OGS that I've been smoking through the past couple of weeks, then I will be very happy indeed.

You may also want to visit this thread on home stoving LTF. I tried it, it’s great. Probably works well with LNF too.

Thanks. I've stoved some Red Virginias before that I've used in a home blend, but I've never stoved a commercial blend before.
Might have to pull a couple of ounces from this shipment and try it.
Mind y'all. I prefer English and balkans. But I tried it to check.
It wasn't bad but I felt it's to fresh. Then I read all reviews saying age it. Lol I want to try a VaPer ready to go fresh. I'm not sure if I'd like them or not. Lol ?
