Good point. I have a feeling this sort of thing happens with blenders more times that most of us realize. I remember how Sobranie 759 "evolved" over the years it was available and it was all due to the availability of the types of leaf available to the blenders at the time. They work very hard at keeping the "feel" of the blends but the marketplace of the raw product can be an influence for sure.vaperfavour":5hhel9mu said:FVF ain't what she used to be, unfortunately. I have been comparing a tin from 2001 and a tin from 2009, and the difference is huge. The old stuff with the Zimbabwean leaf is much, much, bettter. Still, the new stuff isnt bad, just different.
For sure. So many of my favorites have DRASTIC differences from era to era...monbla256":o9usgcbr said:Good point.
