Cellaring Mac Baren HH Vintage Syrian

[Mr. Doody]

so over the last couple months, MB HH VS has become my smoke of choice - with a vengeance.

i just ordered up bulk pound, and i expect to cellar it in a few chunks.

i know it's a fairly recent release, but does anybody have any "early returns" on the win (or lack thereof) of cellaring HHVS or any theories on whether it might prove beneficial?

tia!

Actually it's been around for several years. I had some of the original Chicago Show special release tins when the blend was first introduced (2007 I believe) and have recently opened a fairly fresh tin of recent manufacture. In my opinion, there's no change in the blend, it's production seems to remain consistent. As for cellaring, it seems to be stable. That's about the best descriptor I can give it. It doesn't seem to gain a lot, nor lose anything from age.

Ginny-weed generally benefits the most from aging; Lat-weed and Burley little to none (that I can tell, anyway!!). Now this is just me, but I can tell no difference in older vs. younger MacB blends. FTRPLT
