[QUOTE="Mikem, post: 64445, member: 29"] IMHO they really don't go bad per se. They just don't improve with age like a Virginia will and get sweeter. I think that Virginia's only improve with age and would probably be fantastic at the twenty year mark. I haven't anything in my cellar that old, although I have had the privilege of smoking some blends that old. My experience with English blends is that they tend to mellow out the blend (or for a better term the different tobacco's in the blend tend to meld together better and the taste of the English blend gets richer). Even this (from my experience) tends slow down or stop around the eight to ten year mark. The same can be said for burley blends that I have stored. I keep my tins in a cabinet in my home office away from direct sunlight. The square tins I monitor more closely than the round screw on lid tins (they come open pretty easy and break the seal). I monitor all my tins for rust. All of my bulk I keep in canning jars or bail jars. [/QUOTE]
