Ive notice that Samuel Gawith has difeerncess in eery box to the color , misture and a bit of the taste Ive smoked over 100 boxes of SG flakes and they came aways wet They need druyng and theyre tobaccos burn hardly So My recipe for best taste for FVF and Best Brown is - make them very fine and loose ribons and put them on a piece of paper make the paper a very hot from the bottom side with a lighter to make it absorb fro the moisture and leave it for half an hour to breathe a bit
Also you can pack the pipe loose , light it and leave it for a 20 minutes After the taste and moisture content are diferent
About the FVF i like peterson Perfct Plug better
Just my 2 cents - greetings Rusen
