I tend to agree . It seems like the noobs are getting caught up in the hype and getting taken for a ride .
They will look back one day and realize it , but for now they somehow believe paying hundreds of dollars for twigs is reasonable .
And Galicia Negra , why because of its pretty colours ? Please .

John,

Thanks for the support!
That was basically what I meant. :)

I agree about the taste being subjective but I also think that the growing conditions, health of the trees, pollination may do much more for the taste (and its difference) than just a fancy named variety. A California Brown Turkey is a super duper fig over here but not in other places. And people still want to get a Black Madeira and pay extra $$ while not understanding the special growing conditions and the increased heat/sun exposure needs.

Yeap! Me too! And that is just our human nature :)
It will be probably similar to the other barry dark figs but in your mind you have a picture of the “perfect fig” and you just want it (your logic takes a hike at this point :) 

In general, after the last summer, my benchmark became the Unk. Pastilliere. Any fig that comes within a mile has a chance to stay.
