[QUOTE="alfredo_buscatti, post: 22620, member: 36"] The tobacco in question is Wessex Red VA, 5 y/o. I know what I'm going to say will leave some of you scratching your heads, but here goes anyway: Bowls 1-8: clearly seasoning Bowls 9-14: variegated tastings of a good tobacco Bowls 15-18: complexity gone and in its place a wonderfully, rich, sweet, red VA, which is what I had expected, given age and a quality red VA Thus, as the tobacco changed the more I smoked it, I'd say bowls 1-14 were seasoning. This goes against my experience of seasoning requiring quite usually 3-6 bowls. When I opened the tin and removed the wrapper of wax paper, the paper was stained throughout light brown. Also, the flakes were wide, shaped to the tin (small and rectangular), and stuck together so that I had to use a knife to separate them. These characteristics I put down to age. [/QUOTE]
