[QUOTE="beaupipe, post: 130750, member: 595"] Just don't judge it too quickly. I think that there is near universal agreement among aficionados of FVF that it tends to come out of a youthfullly bland shell after a year or so of maturation. I worry that a lot of people trying it for the first time will experience it as a big let-down after all the bitching and moaning about its absence. It was like listening to the suffering of Job in stereo. Don't expect to see the face of God in your first puff of smoke, and don't expect to soil yourself like a teenager doing the Lambada with sexy auntie Conchita. You'll find a medium-bodied, sweetish smoke, not nirvana. For what it's worth, I like FVF. I have about 3 pounds of it in the cellar and smoke it occasionally. It might be in my top 3 straight Virginias. But my fave Virginia probably wouldn't make it into my top 10 tobaccos. I find I prefer a smidge of Burley in my Va-dominated flakes, the kind of thing found in G&H Dark and Brown Flakes, Solani's Silver Flake, and Germain's Brown Flake. [/QUOTE]
