Inquiring minds want to know.
I am contemplating holding out for MVF or Union Square.

You are not gonna get much help on this one as opposite the camps are on them !!:twisted: Buy a tin of each, smoke 'em and then decide for yourself :twisted: :twisted:Hereward":qju6y410 said:Inquiring minds want to know.

Yuk summed it up quite well. Since you ALREADY ENJOY FVF and have stated why, it's a no brainer, you get a tin of US :twisted: :twisted:Yak":ehoaq64t said:Two completely different tobaccos.
FVF (aged sufficiently) is heavy, thick, dark & sweet.
US is diaphanous & subtle. If you're used to intensely-flavored tobaccos you'll probably ruin your pipe & kill yourself huffing it in an attempt to get the intensity level you're used to out of it. Which isn't in there to get out of it.
FVF is Pavarotti.
US is a beautiful woman speaking to you in a whisper.

Cigarettes are mostly Virginia tobacco.I've smoked uncased Virginia tobaccos. It was very cigarette-like. What does Union Square do to address this?
who said anything about US being cased? I've never heard that before, and I surely wouldn't get that from smoking it.Richard Burley":k4xc67fx said:Union Square is cased with what? Distilled water? Fairy dust?
Mea culpa. It was your "one of the three" that led me astray. Thought US was one of the antecedents.sisyphus":2lmz05cd said:who said anything about US being cased?

Apples and oranges. Gawith Virginia is (mostly) African ; C&D is Old Belt Virginia (Virginia/N. Carolina).Cornell & Diehl simply don't have a Va in their inventory that can compete with Samuel Gawith's stock.
Here we go again ! ALL tobacco's are cased, just not all tobacco's are Topped or flavored! GLP has discussed this before, both here and on his site. :twisted:sisyphus":1u5hjyjm said:who said anything about US being cased?

Translation : What you like is Virginia soaked over-full of sugar.I feel C&D doesn't have a McClelland-quality Va crop in their warehouse.
Everyone has an OPINION, and they should be expressed as such. Not having experienced first hand, how they process their blends I COULD NOT make that statement. :twisted: :twisted:Yak":v68fhume said:Translation : What you like is Virginia soaked over-full of sugar.I feel C&D doesn't have a McClelland-quality Va crop in their warehouse.

I thought GL Pease's Union Square had no casings or toppings. Here is the description from his website "Union Square is a blended sliced cake of high-grade flue cured leaf, from beautiful, sweet brights to deep, earthy reds, without the added sugars, sauces, flavourings and top-dressings common to many other VA flakes."monbla256":b8krh0qb said:Here we go again !
