A Glorious smoke this morning!
With all the talk about aged FVF I dug into my cellar and got out the oldest tin of FVF I have. Date of cellaring was 1-09 (Since I just got into FVF in January of 09).
I popped the tin and just breathed in the aroma, the pipe was a Akropois Amadeus #346 (Greek made) which loves FVF, the narrow bore works great. I rolled out a flake and gently pushed it in, then sat it in my truck as I took the kids to my folks (who see them off to school), then I lit it up, a little moist so it took a few tries. But once she started going it was great, smoked it all the way to work with just a few relights, WOW! if it's this good after 16 months I can only imagine this stuff after several years.
