[QUOTE="glpease, post: 166653, member: 18"] It depends on many factors; the blend, its storage conditions, what you want from it. Virginias and VA/perique blends that are well done seem to go on indefinitely. I've smoked some Three Nuns that was well over 50 years old, and there was no sign that it was even close to its downhill slope. Latakia does soften over time, and depending on what else is in the blend, and in what proportions, the blend could go flat, or develop interesting new dimensions. But, if sharp, youthful Latakia is your thing, anything over a few years old may disappoint. Here's [url=http://glpease.com/BriarAndLeaf/?p=25][i]Aged, or Just Old[/i][/url], for a little more, and [url=http://pipesmagazine.com/blog/out-of-the-ashes/saving-for-a-rainy-day/][i]Saving for a Rainy Day[/i][/url] for some of my general thoughts on building a cellar. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
