Why is aged FVF so good? I mean, there is good and then there is ridiculously good. The five+ year sample I just opened is clearly an example of the latter.
It has something to do with microrgasims. We learned it in biology but I forgots.Kapnismologist":t77gwiy4 said:Why is aged FVF so good? I mean, there is good and then there is ridiculously good. The five+ year sample I just opened is clearly an example of the latter.
The trick there is to buy more than you can possibly smoke until it's well aged. :twisted:Buck":7gsb1drz said:As I see it the only problem with aging , if done right, is staying out of it until it's done! :lol!:

I don't know what exactly sugar plums are, but if you could smoke them this is what they would taste like! it seems heat pressed virginia's do wonderfully with age. I have very high hopes for Fillmore. I have mason jars of best brown flake from 96, and while good, they haven't aged as well as the heat pressed virginnys. of course another decade and who knows? cracked a tin of escudo from 1946 7 days ago and oh my god never had anything like it. pure sugar with lemon like notes mixed with coffee bean and plums. I have dozens of rattrays dark fragrant from 91 that are approaching nirvana! I have a friend with FVF from the 80's and he won't sell any to me! the bas*&$d ! looking in the quart jars it turned black with the crystals all over it! has yours turned black yet?

Yes it is almost torture waiting, I have the same difficulty aging Haddo's, but having had some at beyond 5 years age, I can tell you it is well worth the wait :cheers:EJinVA":f7yypwix said:Man, it's gonna be hard waiting. Over the past 6-8 months I've jarred about 5 lbs of FVF, hope to get several pounds put away per year(over what I routinely smoke).
