[QUOTE="idbowman, post: 187431, member: 2165"] I've only just entered into cellaring myself...I do have some tobacco with a few years' worth of age on it, but that's entirely due to buying more tobacco that I had the time to smoke (you'll find that to be a common problem!). So, I've found a few blends that I enjoy above the rest and have decided to age them. My plan is to take four blends and, each time a buy a tin to smoke, I'll buy a tin to age. I'll smoke a tin of the same blend at 3, 4, and 5 years to decide where each blend best suits my taste to know how long I actually want/need to cellar each unique blend. The way I figure it, at the rate I smoke, I'll have decent collection together by the end of the year...and, by the time I'm ready to start smoking the aged tins, I should be pretty close to only buying new tins for the purpose of aging, always pulling from my matured supply. Of course, the best laid plans of mice and men... I did try the rapid aging thing once. I noticed a definite difference (improvement) in the quality of the smoke and taste, but it didn't last long. Some time after the quick-aging, the VA blend had become almost unbearably sweet (it almost tasted like a heavily cased aro.). Now, this could be attributed to any number of variables, and ymmv...but for my money, I don't plan to take another run at it. [/QUOTE]
