To begin with: SG Golden Glow is, as far as I know, the trade name of the SG Medium Virginia Flake (MVF) offered in 50 gram tins, while the MVF is offered in bulk. I find the description by Daniel Schneider at his company - Synjeco pages accurate:

MVF together with BBF and FVF makes my favorite "Golden Triangle" of SG Va's. MVF aka Golden Glow is for me the most delicate of these three. In my experience it is much better after some time of cellaring - a couple of months, better a year, two or more. Like many other delicate Virginias it requires cold smoking, otherwise, if smoked too hot, instead of nice sweetness of high quality Va it may test bitter.
