[QUOTE="monbla256, post: 351354, member: 2244"] The most extensive experience I have had with "aged" blends has been with two Dunhill blends and one Sobranie I stocked up on back in '82 and lost track of ( couple of divorces and moves the cause) till about three years ago. All were in un-opened tins which "held" all these years and opened with their carachtaristic WHOOSH when opened. They were Dunhill (Murray era) blends, Nightcap, 965, and BS 759. All three are Va based and ALL of the sifferent types of leaf went through a SIGNIFICANT mellowing out over this amount of time. The Nightcap and 965 were NOWHERE near as sharp and distinct with the Latakia ad perique each had in them, rather they had mellowed to a much more nuanced and "softer" feel and aroma than when "fresh".The same went for the 759, which always was Latakia forward, now it was on equal terms so to speak with it's Va base. So if you like a blend/mixture when "fresh", depending on how long you "age" it, it WILL be somewhat different. It's one of those things only YOU can judge and time will tell :twisted: Me I STILL smoke most of my 'baccy "fresh" :twisted: :twisted: [/QUOTE]
