PM me your address. I promised to send a sample to @Alligator Gar , and if I'm stuffing some into an envelope I might as well double it up, right? I'm not sure how much I have left but there's at least a couple ounces from the batch I purchased back in 2011 or so.Quote:

I'll probably let the doused (I suppose you could say soused) dry and then hit it again.
Having another bowl of St. Bruno. No need to be stingy with it now that it's on its way back to the states!
Continuing my VA flake journey, I'm smoking a bowl of FVF right now. Wow! This is wonderful stuff! Possibly my favorite so far in this genre.
Is that the Wessex you are smoking?Quote:

No. It's an experimental blend that a friend made and gave me a sample of.Quote:

I had ran out of SJF and haven't had any for a couple of weeks. Man I missed it. I finally got around to ordering some and I was like a crackhead opening the box. Man, I love this stuff.
I'm fairly new to pipes (about a year experience) and FVF is my favorite Virginia blend by far. I just got a shipment in though and I got a tin of Dunhill Flake. I'm looking forward to seeing how it compares.Quote:

They are definitely 2 of my favorite tobaccos.
You should try SG Navy Flake as well. It is basically FVF with Latakia and a light rum topping. Great stuff.
I'm a Gawith whore if you haven't figured that out already. :pipe:
Check out this video. I love this guy's pipe tobacco reviews. He's pretty cool and has similar tastes as me (except I tend to lean towards sweeter tobaccos) so I watch a lot of his stuff.
