[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 526998, member: 1211"] Though this is headed into different territory and another topic, I agree with Blackhorse about liking some blends when new, or at learned stages. I've talked about this here in the past, but before we lost McClelland, or had even entertained losing McClelland, I hated the idea of aging #2015. Sure, tobaccos change with age, but I far preferred the flavors of new #2015 over anything I'd found in aging it. That's the thing with aging, you aren't guaranteed anything, and each moment is an opportunity for it to keep changing. The idea that you will like 5 year old X more than 4 year old X etc isn't necessarily true. You could very likely find yourself at year-5 wishing you'd cracked open all your jars after the four year mark to halt the process and so on. "Damn, it was so amazing at 4! Why didn't I stop it all right then?" And I see the fun in that gambling for sure, but... And then if I'm changing as well? Living in the here and now vs the gambling for better times. [/QUOTE]
