[QUOTE="cigrmaster, post: 340964, member: 2528"] mejoshee, great reviews and thanks for taking the time to write them. I am a fan of FVF and after a good deal of experimenting, I have found the best way for my tastes to smoke this blend. For me I cube cut it into very small cubes, dry it for an hour or 2 and smoke it in one of my group 4 Dublins. I now get a very consistent flavorful smoke using this method. I still have one more experiment with this blend which is to fold and stuff it into one of my group 4 Dublins. For some reason it is the only flake of mine that I have not tried the fold and stuff with. FVF is also my most finicky of the 28 flakes I cellar. I am a big fan of SG Best Brown and St James flakes and neither of those are as finicky. The other two I can smoke with success in a multitude of pipes, either cube cut to normal size or folded and stuffed. My experience with 1792 was not a good one. I really disliked the tonquin bean flavors and am not a fan of the Lakeland essence. I also did not appreciate the fact that is ghosted the crap out of my pipe after only one bowl, it took forever to get that ghost out. I think it is great you are going to go through the SG portfolio and look forward to more reviews from you. [/QUOTE]
