I thought I did a review here of FVF. Cant find it so I guess not. I bought some 3 yrs ago and tried it fresh and was not impressed. Wet hay came to mind. Did not know what all the fuss was about. That was in May of 2012. New to pipes and cigars and aging of course was something I did not understand and its effects on tobacco. So in May of 12 I put it in jars and forgot about it. In the last few months I really found the pipes to be more to my liking and started going through everything. I opened up my 3 yr old FVF and was WOW. It reminded me of Lane 1Q and I mean that as a compliment to FVF. I happen to like 1Q a lot, its not as strong as 1Q but similar flavor profile. Of course FVF has not topping, is not a aro. But just WOW what time does. I now have over 2 lbs of it of varying age after making a trade for some with time. Its worth buying some to put away.
