[QUOTE="Ozark Wizard, post: 480274, member: 3652"] I think the hardest part about matching any blend is the issue of the evolution of the tobaccos in question. From the types of plants, their genome, environmental and handling procedures, to storage and eventually casings, toppings and packaging, we just don't or can't do it like they used to. Even well established blends morph over time, due to availability of the specific leaves themselves. Eventually, that one year of that one crop just plain runs out. Each modification along the lifespan of a blend slowly changes over time. In addition, matching any blend that has aged in a tin changes one way or the other, and though you might match a ten year old blend today with today's components, it is hard to predict what ten years in a tin will do to that match. It most likely will do it's own thing, and eventually end up another direction. Just my thoughts... :sunny: [/QUOTE]
