[QUOTE="Dave_In_Philly, post: 259813, member: 1907"] It's really amazing what six months does. The Jar is labeled April 2012 - which means it has been in my possession for about six months now. Unfortunately SG doesn't date their boxes or tins so there is no way of knowing exactly how old this stuff really is. In any event, I cracked the tin last night. The heavy latakia presence that was somewhat off-putting when this stuff was fresh, is happily gone. This is how I remember Navy Flake to be. A sweet, robust Virgina flavor with a subtle seasoning of latakia. Earlier in this thread I expressed surprise that this blend consisted of 30% latakia. When the stuff is fresh, you can certainly believe that, but after only six months in a mason jar it again seems that the latakia is merely a condiment. I also see Shane's point. I cannot taste the rum, no matter how hard I try. However, the Virginia in this blend has a sweetness different from other SG Virgina blends like FVF or BBF. I can only assume it comes from the addition of the rum. [/QUOTE]
