Kirk's right. It is that good.
$7.29's about what tinned FVF went for about five years ago. The price for a 250g box is still better, and 250g boxes now seem to be readily available. I'm pathologically frugal, and have only ever had the 250g boxes.
FVF is a hot-pressed Virginia flake. I encourage you to get it and try it. Give yourself some enforced time with it: at first, FVF can be enigmatic and stubbornly diffident; at some point, and sooner rather than later, it will speak, and clearly. You'll be happy.
What works for me is to fold a flake lengthwise, add another half-flake, fold it up the other way in the palm, and rub it just to loosen it up and form a torpedoish bundle. Then I scoop it up with the pipe and wonder what could be simpler.
Opening Night is a C&D-style thickly-sliced loosely-pressed flake, brights-to-reds, unsweetened but naturally sweet. I don't know how it ages compared to GLP Union Square, but fresh, there's no difference I could discern last time I had both around at the same time (Autumn, 2010). I've every reason to expect that Opening Night will be sublime as little as five months after its tinned date (what I've been finding lately--i.e., the past two years--with Union Square).
