[QUOTE="Brewdude, post: 166600, member: 1723"] I think it depends on the 'baccy and your tastes. To me, some are best when fresh and these seem to include blends that are burley forward. 'ginnys tend to be a bit sharp and bitey when fresh, but there again there are exceptions to this - here I'm thinking of John Pattons Virginia Squire and C&D Virginia Gentleman which I like fresh. However, I do tend to prefer straight VA with several years of age on them as it tends to mellow them a bit and the complexities come forward. VaPers I tend to prefer mostly fresh. Escudo comes to mind. Latakia blends seem to get more complex and mellow with age too. Yet two of my staple English blends - P&W Churchill and #78 - I enjoy fresh. At the end of the day, it all depends on your palate and what you enjoy. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Cheers, RR [/QUOTE]
