[QUOTE="Pseudo Nim, post: 41312, member: 550"] As Brother Kilted 1 quite correctly pointed out, FVF would be an excellent choice, personally, I would add to that SG's Best Brown Flake, (exactly the same flake as used in FVF, slightly different process) and Golden Glow. These three alone, being pure virginia's with no additives, would cellar for decades. I might even be so bold as to suggest 1792 even with it's tonquin topping. The reason, I recently found a tin of Erinmore Flake, opened at least three years ago, as you can guess, it was a little dry, as I have a head cold, well no reason to be put off, I could see how my cold was doing by comparing to how vile Erinmore tasted !!! So I tried some in a clay, ( I always smoke a clay if I have a cold or flue, they're nice and easy to clean and sterelise, just leave them in the fire for a couple of minutes ) when I lit up, suprise !!! most of the aniseed topping had gone and I was just left with a virginia, fair, but not the best by any means. As Sam Gawith uses Tonquin essence, I reckon it would be pretty safe. Good luck with the cellaring. [/QUOTE]
