Smoking SG FVF for the first time...

[futureman]

...and all I can think of is "steak"! I can see why people hoard FVF. It's one of the smoothest and creamiest tobaccos I've smoked. I'm not sure the meaty taste is my favorite, as I'm much more partial to mellower, milder flavors. I actually found myself missing BBF (just finished a tin the other day), although FVF could grow on me.

Oh ya, it surely is a little slice of Heaven. I love sipping it and exposing some sweetness that is so hard to put a name on, but it's great.

I have just finished a tin of FVF,it's one of my favourite flakes,followed by StJames and Navy flake ( SG )

Yes, Full Virginia Flake is really, really good.

FVF is so good, the meatiness is my favourite!

So is this a freshly opened tin? If so, I highly recommend doing what ohin3 taught me: let it age 6 months to a year and try it. A freshly opened tin will seem like a "steamy bloated mess" (as he put it) in comparison to an aged flake.
Here's the ORIGINAL THREAD that it came up in.

Jason is dead-on, age and dry it good for ultimate bliss

If I can exercise some patience, I'll certainly let it age (it's in a mason jar now). I have Luxury Twist, Irish Flake, HOTW, and plenty of Burley blends to keep me occupied.
